00:00So the leg press, you can find a 45 degree leg press. This is a squat press, which means the
00:06angle is just slightly different. Same rules apply for majority of them. To go on a leg press,
00:13you can work either your glutes or you can work your quads. So if we want a quad focused leg
00:19press, what I'm going to do is I'm going to lay back and I want to put my feet lower down on the
00:27pad. The reason I'm doing this is I want to have more knee flexion. Okay, so I'm going to have them
00:32fairly close together and I'm going to have my toes pointed slightly outwards. From here, I'm going to
00:38push on the leg press to unlock it. Push the handles down. Every machine's a little different.
00:46Okay, and now from here, I am going to break at the knees to bring it all the way down. From here,
00:54I'm going to have a tiny hold and then push it back up. And hold. Now, if I wanted to make this
01:06glute focus, what I want to do is have my feet higher up. So I have it higher up on the pad,
01:12close together again. And I'm going to have less knee flex, bringing it all the way down,
01:19as you can see. And then I'm going to squeeze my glutes to bring them up. Down and up. And you can
01:31usually do much heavier weight if you're doing the glute focused versus the quad focused. Both of
01:38them, you want to be careful not to lock your knees up at the top for safety. And don't go too heavy on
01:46these ones until you feel comfortable with it.
