How to do Leg Press

  1. Feet shoulder-width on the platform, back flat against the pad.
  2. Lower until your knees reach about 90 degrees — without your lower back curling off the pad.
  3. Press through your whole foot back to nearly straight legs, never slamming the lockout.
Where reps get stolen

Plate-loaded quarter reps. The sled full of plates moving four inches is the gym's oldest magic trick.
