incongruent muscle growth

I know certain machines are ok to perform one legged or one armed, but is the leg press machine ok to perform one legged? I would really like to even out my muscles.

Its actually safer if you do it in a controlled manner, because if you fail and cant get the rep, at least you'll have a fresh leg to bail you out. Good Luck. -------------- http://becomehealthaware.tripod.com
