How to Complete the Challenge:

• Sit on the Leg Press machine and place feet shoulder-width apart on the platform.
• Ensure knees are aligned with toes and not collapsing inward.
• Press the platform forward until legs are nearly straight, do not lock your knees.
• Slowly bend your knees to lower the weight back to starting depth.
• Perform all required reps smoothly and without pausing.

How to Train for This Challenge:

• Start at lighter weight and build your strength and stamina.
• Practice your chosen version 1–2 times per week, allowing 1–2 days of rest between sessions.
• When you can perform smooth, controlled reps without swinging or using momentum, move up to the next harder variation.

Remember: to earn points, you must complete the actual Challenge version correctly, not the practice variations.
