Machine Angled Single-Leg Press
The single-leg press in an angled lever machine: the platform swings on a lever arm rather than sliding on rails, and the free leg rests off it.
How to do it
Setup
Back and hips on the reclined pad, one foot mid-platform, the other off it.
Steps
- Bend the knee and let the platform come in as far as the hip stays down.
- Press it away through the whole foot.
- Keep the knee soft at the top and switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Hip lifting off the pad as the knee comes in: shorten the range. Pushing through the toes: the heel lifts and the knee takes it; drive with the whole foot. Heavy plates lowered fast: the arc is long; lower slowly.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
