normal Leg press vs. angled foot platform leg press

Angled foot

Normal


Does the angle of the platform matter much training or injury wise? I'm probably gonna throw a leg press in my basement for me and others to use. I just wanted to get the pros/cons of the platform part from someone with knowledge. I always used the traditional one at the gym but lately have been seeing the angled ones more frequently.

Any takers?

Can't see any difference it would make. It is slight in foot angle difference, prob more a comfort thing than anything. Like squats, one can vary their stance width wise, etc. to a comfortable position without really changing the exercise effectiveness.

Use the one that mimics your natural squatting foot position best. The others just cause (even more) faulty bio-motor patterns.
