Leg press strength equipment
prices on 41 modelLeg press
— an exercise for the legs, similar in technique to squats: the main load occurs due to pushing the working part of the simulator with your feet away from you. Refers to isolating (on individual muscles).The specific design of simulators with this function may be different. So, in most models, the bench press is carried out while sitting, in a horizontal direction; however, there are also Hack machines with this function (see "Type" for details). Anyway, the leg press works mainly on the thigh muscles — quadriceps and biceps, similar to the same squats. However, this technique is safer, since it loads the spine and lower back less, and besides, it allows you to work with almost any load (whereas squats are performed at least with the athlete’s own weight).
