Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders training regimes.It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.In this article well take a close look at the leg press.MUSCLES TARGETED: vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, rectus femorisSTARTING POSITIONLie on leg press machine with buttocks supported on seat and back pressed against the back rest pad.Place feet flat on the platform, shoulder width apart.
