I do one-leg leg presses. A set with the right leg, then a set with the left. Here's what the Stronglifts guy has to say about leg presses:


And of course that's exactly what I've been doing, trying to get the full range of motion.

My lower back has been sore, which is new to me. I know lots of people have back pain from cycling, I've never experienced it before, until now.
I missed that you were talking about leg presses specifically when I first read your OP. When doing leg presses, I pay a lot of attention to the contact/pressure my butt is making with the seat, and figure that I'm going outside MY safe range of motion if my butt starts to raise off the seat.

Leg presses are for legs. If you want to exercise your spinal erectors, do weighted hypers.
