Wide Stance Leg Press

Sit comfortably on the leg press machine, without any weights on the machine, and set-up all the locking bolts prior to commencing any form of exercise. Its essential that you have the locking bolts in place at the lower end of your exercise movement, just in case you cant lift the weight back up.

START	FINISH

Place your feet firmly on the foot plate, with your feet 14+ inches apart, having your feet pointing out to the sides

Once you have placed on your lifting weight, lift the weight and turn the locking device to enable the weight to come smoothly downwards, bringing your knees slightly out to your sides.

Aim to lower the weight down until your legs are bent to 90 degrees, then exhale and push the weight back upwards, focusing on pushing the weight via your heels rather than your toes.

Avoid locking out in the upper phase of the movement, aim to keep a slight bend in your legs, have a brief rest 1 - 2 seconds, then repeat the movement, always keeping the lower safety bolts in place.

Due to numerous machines always having different working movements, always make sure that you know how to use the safety devices.
