Exercise

High-Feet Leg Press

CompoundBeginner

A leg press with the feet placed high on the platform instead of centered, shifting more of the work toward the glutes and hamstrings.

Tips & instructions

Form

Push through the whole foot rather than just the heels, the higher foot placement already shifts the emphasis without needing to exaggerate it further.

Progression

EMG research confirms a higher foot placement increases glute and hamstring activation compared to a standard or low placement, though newer findings suggest how deep the knee bends may matter more than the exact foot position, so pairing this stance with a full range of motion matters more than the placement alone.

Muscle groups

Primary: Glute Max

Secondary: Bicep Femoris, Vastus Lateralis
