Multi Leg Press Machine

 

Do not let your lower back leave the inclined board

 

When using the leg press machine for leg press training, make sure that the entire torso (especially the lower back) is firmly against the inclined board, and do not let the lower back and buttocks lift off the cushion during the movement.

 

Because the stable neutrality of the lumbar spine is very important in exercise, the lumbar spine is always flexed back and forth during the movement, which is easy to bear unnecessary pressure and cause injury.

 

Some people also make the lower back leave the inclined board because of insufficient mobility.

 

Simply put, the legs cannot go down after falling to a certain position, so the pelvis is unconsciously tilted backward and the lumbar spine is flexed.

 

Friends with this situation are advised to shorten the movement stroke during training, or place the feet slightly lower than the regular stepping position.

 

When our back is firmly against the mat, there should be no gap between the waist and the mat, otherwise it will cause the lumbar spine to bear weight.

 

The knees and heels are in a straight line, and the knees should not bend inward or open too much, otherwise it will cause greater pressure on the knees and cause damage.

 

Ensure the continuity of the movement, do not pause, and lock the knees.

 

For beginners, I recommend starting with a lighter weight and gradually increasing the load to avoid injury.

 

The above is about the correct training movements of the leg press machine, as well as the parts of the body to be trained in different pedal positions, precautions, etc.

 

After all, everyone's training experience and actual situation are different, so we still need to constantly discover problems in practice and make timely adjustments.
