Quad Dominant Leg Press
Here we have an extract from a session with one of my clients with a big focus on making our leg press more focused on growing quads than just developing leg strength. We talk about reps in reserve as a marker for intensity and how we can use tempo and an active range of motion to increase the relative contribution of the quads.
At first it is an easier strategy to increase your range of motion of your leg press by focusing on hip flexion and external rotation at the hip, here in contrast the focus is on flexing the knee and generating as much load on the quads at the bottom part of the movement. Setting this in place early on in a block will reap the benefits later on when we progress weights and other intensifiers- loose your position and miss out on actually working the muscle in the intended way.
