Death, taxes, and ego lifters abusing the leg press. Some things never change. Every gym has that guy who stacks the machine with a mountain of plates, does two-inch partial reps, presses with his hands, and acts like it’s impressive. It’s not. No one cares how much fake weight you can move. It doesn’t build real strength, it doesn’t build muscle, and it increases your risk of injury.
The leg press can be an effective lower body exercise for targeting the quads, glutes, and adductors if you use it correctly. That means using a proper range of motion based on your own mobility, controlling the eccentric, and not bouncing off the safety stops like an idiot. Real hypertrophy comes from control and effort, not turning your workout into a strongman parody.
There is no universally perfect leg press depth. It depends on your limb lengths, flexibility, and what muscle group you’re trying to target. What matters is training through a challenging and safe range that keeps tension on the muscles without your lower back rounding off the pad.
This video explains what proper leg press form looks like, how to find your ideal range of motion, which common mistakes ruin your results, and why chasing plate numbers means nothing if your form is garbage.
