Horizontal Leg Press

Seated upright with the platform in front rather than above; the back stays flat against the pad.

How to do it

Setup

Seated upright, platform in FRONT, feet shoulder-width on it, back on the pad.

Steps

  1. Press the platform away to nearly straight legs.
  2. Return until the knees near 90° or deeper with control.
  3. Keep the hips against the seat throughout.

Common mistakes

Hips rolling under at depth: the seat angle hides it; stop earlier. Knees caving: track the toes. Stack slamming on returns: keep tension.

Breathing

Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
