Narrow Stance Leg Press: how to do it and form tips

A leg press with feet close together near the center of the platform, shifting the emphasis to the outer quad sweep (vastus lateralis) for more complete quad development.

Form tips

1. Place feet hip-width or narrower, positioned in the middle of the platform.
2. Lower until knees are at 90 degrees, then drive through your full foot.
3. The narrow stance reduces glute contribution — expect an intense outer quad burn.
