2) Leg Press
a) Set the handle high enough to be out of the way of your knees.
b) Foot height: Adjust the Flexfoot so that the ball of your foot rests on the flat stationary
section of the Flexfoot.
c) Damper levers: Start in the range of 2-4 dampers open.
d) There is a pair of handles under the seat to hold on to during the leg press.
e) Watch to see what compression reading you naturally achieve. Most people should aim for a
compression of between 6 and 12. Those with shorter legs should aim for smaller compres-
sion numbers; those with longer legs should aim for larger numbers. Your force reading will
vary greatly at different compression starting points. This is because more compression
puts your body into a “weaker” position. The smaller force applied at this weaker position
will be averaged into the reading for that rep, thus giving a lower value.
f) Start position: Start the press with your legs comfortably compressed and extend them until
they are just straight, but not hyper-extended.
