Leg Press Without Wrecking Your Knees

Tried the leg press for the first time and realized it’s not as simple as just pushing weight with your legs. Here’s what actually helped me do it right and not mess up my knees: 🔸 Wear flat sneakers and comfy gym clothes—no one needs a wardrobe malfunction mid-set. 🔸 Always check the seat and range of motion before you start. If you’re not comfy, you’re way more likely to tweak something. 🔸 Keep your back flat against the seat and your feet shoulder-width apart. This keeps things stable and targets your legs evenly. 🔸 Don’t lock your knees at the top. Push through your heels, and stop when your knees hit about 90 degrees—no need to go full pretzel. And yeah, wipe down the machine when you’re done. No one wants to sit in your sweat. #LegDay #GymTips #SafeLifting #Health #Fitness
