VERTICAL LEG PRESS

Custom Training: Vertical Leg Press. One controlled movement out and back counts as one repetition. Train both sides equally for unilateral variants.

HOW TO PERFORM

  1. 1

    Use a purpose-built vertical leg press with the safety stops correctly set and the feet fully supported on the platform.

  2. 2

    Press through the feet to extend the hips and knees without forcefully locking the knees.

  3. 3

    Bend the hips and knees slowly until the planned depth, keeping the pelvis against the support.

THE STANDARD

Custom Training: Vertical Leg Press. One controlled movement out and back counts as one repetition. Train both sides equally for unilateral variants.

COACHING CUES

Keep the feet planted and use a depth that preserves pelvic support.Record the displayed resistance or added plates consistently; pulley ratios and starting resistance differ between machines.

COMMON MISTAKES

  • Lowering so far that the pelvis lifts off the pad or snapping the knees straight.
