Strong Legs, ðŸ¦µStrong Body: Top Tips to Prevent Leg Injuries


  1. Proper Position:

 

Lie on the leg press machine with your back and head on a padded support.

 

Place the footplate under your feet and point your toes upward.

 

Make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart, equal to the width of your shoulders.

 

  1. Foot Position:

 

Make adjustments to the foot position to target specific muscles. Do a regular leg press so that the angle between your foot and footplate is 90 degrees.

 

For more posterior chain focus, position your feet higher on the footplate. The more emphasis you want to place on the quadriceps, the lower you should set your barbell.

 

 

 

Hold the handles located on both sides of the seat for stability and support.

 

Maintain a straight posture with your back flat to the seat and your core muscles engaged throughout the workout.

 

  1. Movement and breathing:

 

Lower the platform by bending your knees; exhale while doing so.

 

Straighten your legs and push the weight back up; exhale while doing so.

 

Do it after starting, and do not stop suddenly. Make sure you maintain control throughout the exercise.

 

 

 

Always keep your knees higher than your feet, and do not stretch them completely.

 

Make sure that your knees do not lock, as this can put excessive pressure on your knees and lead to injury.

 

  1. Avoiding Common Mistakes:

 

Make sure that your back is not bent too much or that you do not use heavy weights, which will hurt your lower back.

 

Make sure your knees don't go too high above your toes or your feet don't go too high or low on the platform, as this may injure your knees.

 

Take it easy by not doing the leg press too often or with too many repetitions, as this can quickly tire your muscles and joints.
