Heavy leg press with bad knees

[miacova]

My workouts include heavy sets of leg presses. Problem is, my knees are starting to feel the strain from years of running and playing sports.

Does anyone have a similar problem? Any advice on how to minimise the stress on the knees? Any particular form I should use when doing leg presses to take pressure off?

Thanks for your responses...

Try moving your feet up more on the platform....works for me.
