Technogym Leg Press, Pure Strength The leg press offers the freedom and pure feel of free weights within a safe environ- ment. It replicates the extension movement in a closed kinetic chain and is ideal to build muscle in the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteus muscles. Two key features in- clude the Optimal Resistance profile and the Bodyprint system. The rotary path of the weight plates provides an optimal resistance profile that increases as the legs move to full extension. The Bodyprint system uses padding made from a special high-density foam that adapts to the shape of the body, providing maximum comfort and a stabiliz- ing effect during exercise.
