Execution: From a seated position on the leg press machine, place your feet slightly wider than shoulder width on the crosspiece. Keeping your right foot in place, bring your left foot onto the floor. Holding yourself down onto the bench, lower the weight as much as possible bending at the knee. DO NOT allow your hips to curl off the bench. Press the weight back up until your leg is fully extended but NOT locked. Squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the weight slowly for another repetition. Complete the set and repeat the same movement for the other leg.
