What is the Horizontal Leg Press?

The horizontal leg press is a muscle-strengthening exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Suitable for all fitness levels, this exercise helps safely build leg mass and strength due to the support of the backrest. Ideal for incorporating into a lower body weightlifting routine.

How to properly perform the Horizontal Leg Press

  1. Adjust the seat of the leg press machine so that your back is supported and your feet are flat on the footplate.
  2. Place your feet hip-width apart and push the footplate away from your body by extending your knees.
  3. Lower the footplate back down, bending your knees to return to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
