Machine Horizontal One-Leg Press
The seated horizontal leg press with one foot on the plate; the seat slides back as the single leg straightens.
How to do it
Setup
Seated upright, back on the pad, one foot in the middle of the plate.
Steps
- Press until the leg is nearly straight.
- Keep the hip square on the seat.
- Return slowly; finish the leg, then switch.
Common mistakes
Foot placed toward the edge: the knee drifts sideways; set it mid-plate. Pelvis twisting to help: both hips stay on the seat. Knee snapping straight at the end: stop a touch short.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
