@@Cay9za person who thinks all the time has nth to think about expect thoughts 🗿...pain is an illusion one uses because their afraid of something unknown, if our pain nerves were cut we'd be heartless bastards and i see nth wrong with that
I’ve been guilty of this. As soon as a leg exercise is involved everyone thinks they need to go as deep as possible. You can only go as deep as your mobility allows. If you’re not happy with your mobility, then you can do mobility work. But forcing depth isn’t going to make your muscles grow more, it’s just going to make a chiropractor rich.
You can try to mitigate this by using a lower and wider feet position to allow for better knee flexion (Quad's primary function). However, if you notice your butt start to lift off the pad, it's most likely an ankle mobility issue preventing you from fully bending your knee, causing your butt to lift off the pad to compensate for the lack of motion
The amount of information I get from this makes working out with machines so much less intimidating and mysterious. Thank you so much for all your hard work man
Also, focus on your abdominal muscles and tense them while leg pressing/squating. Those muscles are the antagonists of the lower back muscles, so they release the stress on the lower back muscles. Trust me, it works!
i was so focused on doing "full rom" on these that I actually hurt my tailbone for a few days. now I stop when my back is starting to round. lesson learned
I tore my lower back muscles on the left side from this exact issue with leg press ! And i have not been able to train since 8 months and still counting .... This is very serious , Always be extremely careful with leg press.
You can also position your legs so that it comes to the side of your body. Basically your knees will go to your armpits instead of your chest. And hold onto the handles and pull yourself down. They're there for a reason. 🤣
Dr Mike Israetel says the opposite my friend, when your butt rounds too much it's because your feet are too elevated in the platform, you should place them lower until your ankle mobility allows you to do full ROM, and if your belly does not let you do full ROM, open up your knees a bit and move the seat back until you have full ROM, with no rounded back.
that just happen to me in the gym lower I feel like I was to drop to the floor once I ben down and get up my body like in a shock I say fuck no I will stop do legs press for know
Once I did it my lower body feel weak my belly feel funny my body feel weak not not feeling I just leave the gym legs press not great some machines don't build correct 😢😢
my only question is since there's 2 bars on it. which one should i put the weights on because when i put them on the lower one (the one he has weights on in the video) it feels heavier. but when i put half on the bottom and half on top it feels lighter more distributed. idk could someone pls answer this
