Vertical Leg Press

Place the bar in the Smith Machine about a foot off the ground. Set the desired weight and lie on the floor under the barbell. Rest your feet on the bar of the bar, knees should be tucked to your chest, feet shoulder-width apart. This will be your starting position. Start the movement by straightening your legs and pushing the bar up. Do not straighten your legs to the end, at the top of the movement, the knees should be slightly bent, this will protect the knee joint from possible injuries. Pausing for a second at the top, return to the starting position.
