The gym i go, i have to push through feet and is not seated leg press as you have shown, but thanks for increasing the knowledge

[@jaipeace]

yep, just don't fully straighten your legs :)

[@user-xc1lb3vv8p]

So should one keep the knees slightly bent ?

[@jira6640]

​@@user-xc1lb3vv8pyes, so you don't harm your knees

[@pyroed7044]

​@user-xc1lb3vv8p that's what I've been told and that's what I do. You feel it better in your legs plus if you straighten your knee you can do more damage to the joint.

​@@user-xc1lb3vv8pyes because it is safer and also less stress on the knees. If you are not careful and are leg pressing heavy weight while having your knees fully straightened or what many say "locking your knees" then you can get stuck if your legs give out which can put your knees at risk of breaking.

No you cant damage your joints when you straighten you legs even you can increase your joints strenght

On this machine are we also lifting our body weight? As on this machine i typically lift around 140kg which seems really heavy, whereas on angled leg press which is free weight i typically lift around 230kg, for reference i weigh 100kg, thanks in advance.
