Lever Horizontal One Leg Press
The lever horizontal one leg press is a lower body strength exercise performed on a leverage machine. It primarily targets the glutes, with secondary emphasis on the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. The exercise involves pressing a footplate away from the body using one leg at a time, which increases the demand for unilateral strength and stability.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Adjust the seat of the machine so that your knees are at a 90-degree angle when your feet are on the footplate.
- 2.Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet shoulder-width apart on the footplate.
- 3.Place your hands on the handles or sides of the machine for stability.
- 4.Push the footplate away from your body by extending your leg, keeping your back against the backrest.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the fully extended position, then slowly bend your leg to return to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
