Smith Leg Press
Expert Advice
Keep your feet flat on the platform and avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the leg muscles.
How-to-do Steps
- Lie down on the floor or a flat bench under the Smith machine with the bar positioned at the middle of your feet.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the bar.
- Unrack the bar by rotating it and then lower it by bending your knees while keeping your feet flat.
- Press the bar upward by extending your legs, stopping just short of locking your knees.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
