Lever Angled Single Leg Press

The Lever Angled Single Leg Press targets the lower body, focusing on the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.

To perform this exercise:

  1. Adjust the seat and footplate to your height.
  2. Place one foot on the footplate, ensuring your heel is flat.
  3. Push through your heel to extend your leg, keeping your knee aligned.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.

How to perform the Lever Angled Single Leg Press

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lever Angled Single Leg Press using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
