ONE LEG PRESS

Extensión de una pierna en máquina horizontal

STARTING POSITION:

Select the appropriate resistance in the weight stack. Sit down on the machine and place your feet on the platform at shoulder width apart. Place your head on the pad and your right foot on the lower platform. Grab the side handles of the machine. Make sure your foot is fully placed on the platform, from your heel to your toes. Contract your pelvic floor and core while keeping your chest up.

MOVEMENT:

Push the platform from the right heel until your leg is fully extended (but not locked) in front of you while you exhale. Lower the platform in a smooth movement until your knee make a 90-degree angle while you inhale. Repeat the movement for the specified amount of repetitions and then switch sides and repeat with the other leg. The moving weights should not touch the rest of the stack.

TIPS: Always check if you have correctly locked the machine after repetitions.
