- Then using your glutes and hamstrings press up 
- Stop before locking out your leg

Single Leg Leg Press

- 10 each leg 
- Elevate your front foot on a step or plate (this allows for a deeper ROM) 
- Make sure your front knee is directly over your ankle 
- As you come down, sit back into the back leg then to press up, think about pushing your front foot through the floor 
- you can have a very slight forward lean to put more emphasis on the glute muscle
