Iso-Lateral Leg Press
Muscles worked: Quads (assisted by glutes, hamstrings).
How to do it
- Sit into the machine with your back flat and a foot on each sled.
- Set your feet mid-platform with your heels flat.
- Lower one or both sleds under control to your working depth.
- Drive back up with the knees tracking over the toes.
- One sled per leg means no favouring the strong side. Weight is per side.
