Performing Leg Press |
Entry date: December 26, 2012 |

Training Tip: When performing leg press, hold yourself down with the handles the leg press apparatus provides. DO NOT put your hands in your knees, and push your knees up with the press. DO NOT put your hands behind your head. HOLD YOUR body down firmly to the seat, and press (don't forget to breath [very important]). This will prevent any injuries from occurring, plus it will enhance the effect of the exercise.
As you can see here in the photo, jay Cutler is holding himself down with the handles, keeping his glutes planted to the seat, and he is breathing IN as he is going down (negative movement) on the leg press (breath out on the PRESS movement). |
