1 - Sit on the leg press machine with your back and hips firmly against the pad.
2 - Place your feet about hip- to shoulder-width apart on the lower portion of the platform, keeping your heels flat and toes slightly turned out if comfortable.
3 - Release the safety handles and begin with your knees bent, maintaining control of the weight.
4 - Lower the platform by bending your knees, allowing them to travel in line with your toes while keeping your lower back pressed into the pad.
5 - Press the platform away by driving through your mid-foot and heels until your legs are nearly straight, without locking your knees.
6 - Pause briefly at the top, then repeat for the desired number of repetitions with controlled tempo.
7 - Avoid letting your knees cave inward or your hips lift off the seat during the movement.
