SEATED LEG PRESS (SL10)

Starting and Ending Positions

Muscle exercised: Primarily the quadriceps. Secondarily the gluteus and

hamstrings.

Setup: Pull the knob to adjust the start position. Your knees should be bent at about

a 90 degree angle to start. Select the desired weight.

Performing the exercise: Place your feet on the plate and grip the handles. Keep

your knees lined up over your feet and slowly straighten so that your knees are just

slightly bent. Do not lock your knees. Use about a three count to straighten your

legs. Hold the extreme position for a brief moment. Slowly lower back down using

a six count.

Variations: A narrow stance will place more emphasis on the adductors. A wide

stance will place more emphasis on the hip flexors and abductors.
