Machine Angled Leg Press
The angled leg press on a plate-loaded lever: the foot plate swings on an arc instead of sliding on rails.
How to do it
Setup
Reclined on the seat, back flat, feet shoulder-width mid-plate.
Steps
- Release the lever and lower the plate toward the chest.
- Keep the hips and back on the pad.
- Press the plate up along its arc.
Common mistakes
Feet low on the plate: the heels rise as the arc closes; set them higher. Hips rolling off the seat at depth: shorten the range. Letting the plate crash down: lower it slowly.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
