Reverse lunges on the multi press

For leg press lunges, position yourself hip-width in front of the barbell on the leg press machine. Your legs are nearly fully extended, and your arms grip the barbell outside of your shoulders. The upper body should be entirely upright, and the lower back maintains a slight arch. Keep your gaze forward, and engage your abdominal muscles. Lift the barbell slightly to release it from the lock, and place the weight on your trapezius or rear shoulder muscles.

Movement execution

Initiate the movement by taking a step back. The front leg bends during this motion. Choose a step length that forms a right angle between the upper and lower leg of the front leg. The upper body remains upright with a slight arch in the lower back. Due to the restricted range of motion on the leg press machine, the upper body may incline slightly forward. Push yourself up through the heel of the front leg, simultaneously pushing the barbell in the track of the leg press machine upward. Step back with the leg to return to the hip-width starting position.
