LEG PRESS: Quads or glutes?? Leg press is one of those exercises where foot position DOES alter muscle recruitment . Leg press with feet lower on the platform = MORE QUADS. Why? The bottom positions lends itself to a more flexed knee which means the quads are working hard here. Remember: more quads = more knee flexion. Feet high = more GLUTES. Why? Well we said more knee flexion = more quads. So decreasing the flexion of the knee joint, and prioritizing hip flexion + vertical shin can help recruit more glutes. Or if you want the best of both worlds- keep feet in the middle of the platform. Check out the links in my bio for training options! #bodybuilding #legpress #glutes #quads #lifting
