How maximizing muscle focus
La press is a guided machine for working the lower limbs. Depending on the position of your feet on the platform, you'll be able to focus more on a particular muscle area.
We're not talking about isolation musculaire!! It's simply a more significant intervention of a muscle (if you have a little miss on muscular zone for exemple)
- Standard: Involves all the lower muscles.
- Spread: Increased use of the adductor muscles.
- Tight: Greater use of the vastus lateralis (the outside of the quadriceps).
- High: Greater use of hamstrings (back of thigh) and glutes.
- Low: Greater use of the quadriceps.
The choice of position is yours. It's up to you to adopt it according to your delays, your preferences, the muscle group you want to work...
Personally, when faced with a press, I prefer a high or low position.
