Single Leg Press

his exercise requires a leg press machine. To prevent asymmetry in the lower body, we advise that this exercise is performed as a single leg exercise. Start by putting both feet on the plate in what you think would be a normal standing position at around about hip width apart. Remove one leg from the plate and then press away with the opposite leg. You can be powerful when pressing the plate away, but you must return the plate to the starting position with control. Repeat this for the desired amount of reps. 

Progression/Regression

To alter the difficulty of the exercise you can adjust the pin on the machine to change to your desired weight. It’s important to note that other leg press machines may require you to load it with plates rather than it being a pin loaded one, and each machine may feel different despite the weights seeming the same.
