Heavy Leg Press exercises focus on building leg muscle strength and endurance through high-resistance pressing movements.
Advert
Teaching points:
It is best done with a leg press machine, but you can do a weighted box squat as a substitute.
- Perform a slow controlled leg press (no more than 90 deg knee bend)
- 3 seconds concentric (pushing up) and 3 seconds eccentric (lowering down)
- So one rep should take 6 seconds
- Aim for 6-8 repetitions only and perform this exercise 3 times per week
