Machine Assisted Leg Press

A standing one-leg press on the assisted pull-up machine: the foot drives its knee step down to a straight leg.

How to do it

Setup

Hands on the handles, one foot on the machine's step at knee height.

Steps

  1. Press the step down until the leg is straight.
  2. Keep the hips square and the torso tall.
  3. Let the step rise slowly; switch legs after the set.

Common mistakes

Pulling on the handles to press: the leg does the work. Letting the step snap up: control the return. Hip hiking on the working side: keep the pelvis level.

Breathing

Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
