Pattern

Wide-stance leg press

Setup

  1. 01Sit deep in the 45-degree sled with the low back flat on the pad.
  2. 02Place the feet wider than shoulder width, near the platform edges.
  3. 03Turn the toes out roughly 30 to 45 degrees.
  4. 04Press the sled up and release the safeties.

Execution

  1. 01Lower the sled slowly, letting the knees travel out over the toes.
  2. 02Sink until you feel a stretch through the inner thighs.
  3. 03Drive through the whole foot, pushing the knees out as you press.
  4. 04Stop short of a hard knee lockout at the top.

Checkpoints

  • -Knees track out over the angled toes, never inside them.
  • -Hips stay flat on the pad at full depth.
  • -The stretch is felt in the adductors, not the knee joint.
  • -Both feet press evenly through the whole rep.

Common mistakes

  • -Letting the knees drift inward out of the bottom.
  • -Going so wide that the feet slip toward the platform edge.
  • -Cutting the range and losing the adductor stretch.
  • -Turning the toes out without letting the knees follow.

Programming notes

  • -Use 3 to 4 sets of 10 to 15 reps with a deliberate 2 to 3 second eccentric.
  • -Slightly lighter than your standard-stance press; the stretch position is the point.
  • -Pairs well with hip adduction machine work for inner-thigh development.
