A good exercise, some depending on design emphasize the hip, while other allow one to go much deeper (safely) compared to the squat.
if you ever feel strain in the low back or itchy afterwards , consider how you perform the movement, more often than not you shouldn’t actually sit on the seat pad.
with a lighter than usual weight (to test this) position your butt at the bottom of the back-rest, the force-then- is moved to the hip and away from the lower back, but this doesn’t mean you relax the torso, still maintain rigidity there as always.
if you try this let me know, I’m interested.
i think this is why the leg press gets left behind
