45 degree leg press with wide foot stance

A variation of the 45-degree leg press involves training with a wide foot stance, activating the inner sides of your thighs.

Body position

Sit on the cushion for the 45-degree leg press with a wide foot stance. Ensure that your back and buttocks are close to the backrest, and if necessary, adjust the backrest for maximum comfort. Now, position your legs on the footplate, placing your feet at the outer edge to execute the 45-degree leg press with a wide foot stance. Make sure your feet are slightly turned outward.

Movement execution

Initiate the movement by extending your legs. Exhale during this motion and ensure that your legs are never fully extended. Subsequently, inhale deeply and slowly bend your legs until they form an approximately right angle.
