Machine Seated Wide Squat
The seated machine leg press with the feet wide on the plate and the toes turned out, which brings the inner thighs and the glutes in harder.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, back on the pad, feet wider than the shoulders on the plate, toes turned out.
Steps
- Drive the plate away through the heels, knees pushed wide.
- Stop just before the knees lock.
- Let the knees come back in wide until the hips start to curl.
Common mistakes
Knees collapsing inward on the press: drive them out in line with the toes. Toes pointing straight ahead with a wide foot: turn them out to match the knees. Lower back rounding off the pad at depth: shorten the range.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
