Leg Press.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Load the sled with an appropriate weight, then sit back with your hips and shoulders firmly against the pad.

2. 02

   Place your feet about shoulder-width on the platform, toes slightly out, and keep your knees tracking in line with your toes.

3. 03

   Take a deep breath, brace your core, press the platform away to straighten your legs, and release the safety handles.

4. 04

   Lower the sled slowly and under control until your knees are around 45° (or slightly deeper if comfortable) without letting your lower back round or your hips lift off the seat.

5. 05

   Drive through your midfoot/heels to press the sled back up, stopping just short of a hard lockout.

6. 06

   Re-rack the safeties when finished and repeat for your prescribed reps.
