foot position on leg press

[dick tater]

Started my "new" routine for legs tonight. I did the 5x5 routine on squats and 2 sets of 10 on leg press.

Now I'm wondering a couple of things.


1. What kind of foot position should I have on leg press? I've always used a wide stance just 'cause it's the most comfortable.

2. Should I have the back of the seat all the way up or down?

What do you guys think?

Later,

Just try diferent ways a find what works for you.

I agree, use whatever is more comfortable and natural for you. At the end of the day, i really think it makes 3/5 of fuck all difference where you place your feet, so go with what feels right.

Wider Stance may work the Hams and Glutes more than a Narrow foot position.

For me I have the back is set pretty low so I can get the most leverage. Almost flat in fact if possible

Feet are wider than hips and about 3/4 to the top of the platform.

Don't lock out the knees
Be comfortable

Thanks for the suggestions guys. 'preciate it.

Just use what is comfortable for you. I perform a slightly wider than shoulder stance, so the thighs can come into the armpits.
