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.
