Single-leg leg press

45° leg press with only the right foot on the plate; the left leg rests bent. The plate travels the same line as the two-leg version.

Load and joint demand

Machine or cable load (80 kg at this setting) is not modelled, so joint demand shows the body only.

No gravity-based joint demand to show for this exercise.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

6/10 effort6.3fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 80 kg, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 200 legs points.

Prime movers

Quadriceps and gluteus maximus of the working leg.

What to look for

  • Keep the pelvis level on the seat.
  • Foot centred on the plate so the knee tracks the toes.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
