1 legged press

[thatwaslight]

Seen a few big units doing these recently, what are some thoughts on effectiveness, possible wank factor ect?

[Katie1309]

haha like the 'possible wank factor'....Teneka put me onto these but dont really think I'm in the league you're talking about - although I do have pretty good thighs!

I like them, good unilateral compound exercise for quads that doesn't have the same limiting factors lunges do. I'd think they're more of an advanced thing and a great way to even up your leg development and target specific areas of your quad. One leg hacks too sometimes.

No wank factor I don't think as long as you hit some heavy weights on your other quad stuff! If you skinny wee legs and you only do one leg leg press and a few leg extns then yes, big wank factor!

Give me these ANY day over lunges - I hate them, have to do them first and get them outta the way - they suck balls. Squats and leg presses for Africa but there is something about lunges that just grates me!!!

Haha, yeah there is a whole inch difference in my left and right :shock: very noticeable so maybe a few extra sets on that side? how deep do you go bro?

Been doing 1 leg press and Hacks for the last year, Reckon it's the main reason for my legs fiinaly starting to get some development, especially the hammys. I also think the whole reason my Leg press went over the 500kg mark was due to constant heavy single Leg press.

There no secret exersize just train em hard

[HarryB]

I don't think anyone is saying there's any secret exercise, I find one legged movements effective at taking care of disparities in development but yeah you wouldn't do just one legged leg press.

The training hard bit is a given.

Pyramid single leg press is a great follow up after squats!

[HarryB]

Pyramid single leg press is a grey follow up after squats!

Yeah or I sometimes do them when I am fresh just to hammer my quads into submission before I squat!

[lazyeye]

i like them, some times you get a noob who is so uncoordinated that teaching them to lunge and squat is far outside the scope of the single session.

good for evening up leg strength imbalances and hard to f*ck up
