• Why Is Single Leg Press Much Harder?

  The single leg press requires greater stability than the bilateral leg press, making it a more challenging variation. As a result, you’ll likely find you can press less than 50% of the weight of your standard leg press.

• Is It Better To Do One Leg Or Two Leg Press?

  The single and double leg press are both good exercises to include in your training programme. Single leg press can be better for strengthening the stabilising muscles, while the bilateral leg press exposes the muscles to greater load. Including both will allow you to build strength and stability while reducing the risk of injury.
