Description: Hamstring

The target muscles are the quadriceps femoris and gluteus maximus

The higher we raise the back rest forward, the more dominant is the gluteus maximus

Leg Press

Start in standing position. (the bar does not touch the floor). Classical Deadlift starts on the floor (Dead-stop).

Keep the back straight.
At the start, the bar should be resting against the thighs.
The movement is through the hip joint (hip hinge) and not through the spine.
Keep the bar in contact with the thighs all the way down.

Target muscles:
Gluteus maximus
Hamstrings
Erector spinae (static contraction)
The spinal erectors are statically active and prevent spinal flexion.
