New Lesson Uploaded: Foot Pressure in Leg Press vs. RDL

Got a great question in the chat from

about how foot pressure should be distributed on a leg press compared to an RDL, and why it matters for both muscle activation and joint safety.

I’ve uploaded a full breakdown in the Principle in Practice series — covering:

Why mid-foot pressure is the foundation for max force production
How foot pressure influences motor unit recruitment and hypertrophy
Why “toes-only” or “heels-only” strategies create more sensation but less effectiveness
The impact of pressure on joint coordination up the chain
Practical cueing strategies to correct imbalances

Bottom line: full-foot contact = max load, max output, and safer, more effective training.

👉 Check out the lesson in the Principles In Practice classroom for the full breakdown.
