The Lever Horizontal One Leg Press is a strength training exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is performed on a lever horizontal leg press machine, where the user sits and pushes against weighted resistance using one leg.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Adjust the seat of the lever horizontal leg press machine so that your knee is at a 90-degree angle when your foot is placed on the footplate.
2. Sit on the machine with your back flat against the seat and your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Place one foot in the center of the footplate, with the other foot resting on the floor.
4. Grasp the handles on the sides of the seat for stability.
5. Push the footplate away from you by extending your leg, keeping your back flat against the seat and avoiding any rounding of the back.
6. Slowly lower the footplate back towards you, bending your knee to return to the starting position.
7. Complete the desired number of repetitions with one leg before switching to the other leg.
8. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push the weight away from you and inhaling as you lower it back towards you.
9. Adjust the weight on the machine as needed to ensure proper form and challenge yourself appropriately.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
