Leg press tips to increase strength

Intro goes here.

Leg press ergonomic tips

Leg press done according to the Dr. Fitness USA protocol will increase your strength dramatically.

Here are 12 tips to improve your leg press technique:

  1.  Keep your heels low on the area of the board
  2. On a Hammer or Life Fitness leg press, keep your feet straight and parallel to your hips or slightly wider by approximately 2 inches on either side
  3. On other leg press machines that have softer platforms, you can use different foot positions.
  4. Raise your bench angle to 45°
  5. To increase strength, keep your heavier sets at 4 reps
  6. Finish strong, on a “working set” by lowering the weight slightly and increasing the reps to 8.
  7. If you want to increase strength, Drop setting weakens you
  8. Super setting leg press with aerobic activities or stretching subjects you to unforeseen tendon and ligament injuries
  9. The heavier weights follows the line of movement of the lighter weights, so don’t think, just execute. As soon as the weight comes down, immediately push up.
  10. Do not round back which weakens the arches in your back & or drop your chin to chest which cuts off oxygen to your brain
  11. Breath, inhale through the nose while bringing the legs down, exhale through the mouth when pushing the legs up
  12. Start your workout with a plate load leg press, not a selectorized machine. Selectorized machines are too hard on the joints and tendons. You are coming into the machine cold and will never allow you to move up in sufficient weight.
