This is exactly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
I see it aallll the time. Guy loads a TON of weight. Guy goes nowhere near full range of motion. People need to leave their egos at the door. 1) HUMBLE yourself 2)Lower the weight 3) Do it right. SIMPLE.
Jay Jay Jay, where have you been 7-10 years ago?! :) i was ego lifting pretty much all that time. Only few years ago started to focus on a muscle contraction. Yesterday was leg day training and i found this video... I'm glad you made this and other videos. I found them very simple and informative. I already said in a comment on a chest workout, it's good to know that I'm working on a good path. You are kinda a role model. Love you as a person and an athlete! Thank you
Lol it's just your knee joint. It can't go lower or to the left. It can only extend. That's it. No magic. Add some weight with the same technique eat enough and you will grow
Me being a Professional Fitness Trainer and watching this is great to see a bodybuilder like Jay Cutler teaching the importance of having correct form when workingout because a lot of people believe it's just about lifting heavy and getting bigger. Besides having a discipline diet, using correct form is very important when lifting long term to prevent injury
Fitness Training Motivation I agree, there are people who claim to me that can leg press 500-800 easy but their form is sloppy and they never go full range of motion. Even with 300lbs I feel the high tension in my legs, same with push ups they focus on the numbers rather than the form.
Exactly. There are some who don't realize just by doing the exercises with control and good form makes the exercise harder so in reality they would be lifting less if they did it correctly.
+Fitness Training Motivation i have now got over the whole ego thing with heavy weights. and actually if you keep tension and dont lock out on most exercises the weight will feel heavier. also i find doing slower reps controlled better than lifting heavy.
MrBath1985 that's real good and I'm sure you can feel the difference when you lift with control and when you force it. Sometimes like when you do negatives like training to failure you can do half reps because its all about continuing to rep until you can no longer. I use to also, lift real heavy without good form so don't feel bad. Its all trial and error. You know what I mean? Good to hear though that you are working out smart. Keep it up!
Thank so much!! I have been looking for videos to explain how to leg press with an emphasis on quads but havnt found any useful video until youtube brought yours, after 2 years now finally i got it!!! Thanks man!
I started doing leg presses but my balls kept hitting the platform....I got used to the pain and now I basically use my nuts to sort of bounce the platform up as I explode upward. All with very very strict form of course. If your nads are small you can get a fuller range of motion. Great video. Signed: Max Swolegainz
Jay's correct about placing the feet in the middle or lower part of the platform to focus more on the quads but the lower you put the feet on the platform the more pressure you put on the knees too, but he's right about placement for focusing on the quads.
One note is that the leg press at least from what we can tell from a biomacanical standpoint the hamstrings are not very active on leg press You can definitely get a streach (at lest from my experience) in it but it's not really bring worked, you should do a hip hinge and curling movement for you're hamstrings not so much on the leg press Like and Romanian deadlift and leg curl
Agree, locking the knee is super dangerous as it might result (depending how strong your ligaments, and the weight on the machine) in your knee bending the opposite way
On those gym fails people lock their legs out and their legs break and weight just comes down over the top of them. It looks aggonising. So I try to get max range of motion without fully locking them out purely because of the amount of times I have watched that injury.
@Daniel Welch even jay cutler says don't lock. If someone is really hardcore body building and lifting serious weight then locking out is very dangerous. Besides that it also momentarily takes tension of the quad muscle. Not locking out keeps the muscle under tension thus exhausting it faster and working the muscle better
@Daniel Welch you don't need any damn studies dumbass to know that you do not lockout... the feel, pump and pain is all the study you need. The entire bodybuilding world knows TUT is what works except you.
when I do my reps and bring the knees to my chest, I lift my heels slightly so that the weight is controlled through the mid foot, and then press through my heels. Really nice feeling in the quads and glutes. Just use a sensible weight.
The Chicago Bears must be really regretting letting this guy go. Even if he couldn’t play QB, With his physique you could have just easily switched him to linebacker 😔. Anyways RUclips isn’t a downgrade.
Jay when I do presses it hurt my knees and I've been doing them with my feet upwards and going to lower the weight and put my feet low like you had them I really need work on my quads thank you
Did it help? Common things that help stopping the knees caving in; keep feet flat (pressure on three points: base of big toe base of little toe and heel); tracking knee over your feet foot (keep them in line); managing load and volume so you’re not aggravating the tendons (don’t just up your weight or how much you working massively, go up gradually)
If you get your feet too high on the platform you could really damage your lower back. I have found too high and part of the lower back starts to bend forward, this is not good.
Grab the handles to keep your butt in the seat. Before the rep, begin bracing your core to keep your spine in a neutral position. Start by pushing out your belly (in front and out to the sides). Now take a big breath into your belly (pushing diaphragm down instead of letting your chest rise). Just gently let your breath go while keeping the tension in your core, and breathe in again like you’re blowing up that balloon, you’ll feel even more pressure build up in your core, even your lower back muscles will fire. Now you are using the core to keep your back safe and supported. Keep your head pushed back onto the pad behind it. Keep the tension in your core and complete a rep. Breathe out and breath in, build the tension, do the next rep.
Neither. Mind muscle connection is really irrelevant, if you’re lifting a heavy weight it’s obvious your muscles are being used. If anything hurts that aren’t your muscles than that’s a problem
Bingo - high foot placement is hamstring. Wider stance will assist vastus medialis development, Be aware that shear forces on the patellar tendon increase greatly as you lower your feet. One of the banes of bodybuilding - some of the things we do for growth (quads here) can be very demanding on our joints and tendons. Hard to think long term when training, but like Jay says - use your common sense and you will be good in your later years :)
It's not like it's a hard exercise to do. Pretty easy. When I was in my twenties, i could leg press 10 plates per side! Pretty cool exercise. 5 plates per side is enough, in my opinion.
The lower you put your feet on the platform the more you focus quads and the more stress you are putting on the knee joint. So one would need to experiement with the correct height for his own build, as low as possible without any knee pain. I couldn't press as low as he does, no way. And my squat is very hip dominant which takes away stress from the quads unfortunately but helps keep my knees safe and healthy.
Toes facing forward and knees pushing out sideways helps you use hip muscles to brace the hip joint and keep it stable. Helps a lot in the squat. This machine helps you focus on quads so focus on pressing from a flat foot (pressure over three points that make a triangle: the base of the big toe, base of little toe and heel). Keep knees in line with the foot (track over your second toe). Don’t let the knee go too far beyond the toes when pushing a lot of weight if it hurts your knee.
Actually, you don't train the hamstrings during leg press or squats. In physiology, there's something called, bilateral deficit. Which means, you can't train the quads and the hamstrings at the same time using the same limb. Or, you can't get a "bilateral contraction" at the same time with antagonist muscles.
I have a quick question im hoping someone can help me with. I just started really working out like 4 times a week for last 2 months and was wondering if being able to leg press 410 3 times with good form is decent for someone my size. Im a smidge under 6 ft (jerk nurse straight up told me 5'11 3/4" -_-) and 183 lbs.

he must mean keep the feet straight rather than sideways like usual people do lol

Jay still in a great shape,crazy separation is still there respect sir!
that has to be the cleanest leg press machine I have ever seen. Great video ... Cutler is my favorite IFBB pro
Very few pro body builders make videos on muscle development like Jay, kudos to you!
Been doing this exercise since 2015 but I’m always searching for that “perfect” form (for my body) this helps for sure Thanks 🙏🏾
Me too bro it's all bout form
Definitely, it’s one of those movements that allows you to dial in the perfect position to target the areas you want to hit.
It's all about genetic😉

Jay is a class act. I’ve met him a few times and he was awesome.
Jay quadler!
Leg press used to really hurt the back of my knee. This vid helped me fix my form, thanks!
Weak hanstrings
try working hamstrings as well, not just avoiding exercises that work them.

if done wrong yes u put more pressure on yiur knee
I can leg press 420 tons and I'm only 7.
good for you
lol nice brah
i can leg press 7. and im 420.
+yo yo same
u are 7 na dats why u dont know how to calculate.. :) believe me weight must be 420 grams
One note is that the leg press at least from what we can tell from a biomacanical standpoint the hamstrings are not very active on leg press
You can definitely get a streach (at lest from my experience) in it but it's not really bring worked,
you should do a hip hinge and curling movement for you're hamstrings not so much on the leg press
Like and Romanian deadlift and leg curl
U leg press at e d of workout after u all ready have trouble walking. So u can push the pump without injury. Lighter weight on it with slow reps
One of the smartest guys in the business!
The best explanation I ever heard for the leg press machine 💪
How is nobody talking about the cheeky fart that popped out 3:47
He did great job emphasizing the proper way.

thank you Mr. Cutler.
Thanks, Jay
Jays quads are digustingly big and defined. They look better in his retired years than most guys in their prime.
well this is a very nice and subtle video
thanks Mr. Cutler
He should have said something about the angle of the platform
and the back rest
Same thought here
These videos are really helpful. Thank you

We love you Jay!
Yeah, this is the guy you need to hear to for quads. Damn that Quad stomp
Jay “look at my quads” cutler
Thanks man! Cheers
Probably a very ignorant question but, do you keep your muscles tense or flexed when pushing ?
Neither. Mind muscle connection is really irrelevant, if you’re lifting a heavy weight it’s obvious your muscles are being used. If anything hurts that aren’t your muscles than that’s a problem

Thanks bro, I was doing that exercise today
Jay is the man

What is the difference with back support height please?

Do sumos actually help ham and glute contraction
quad in end :D fuckin awesome
Thanks.
just great I knew ,that I was on the right tecnic ,by cutler just confermd it☺thank you sir.
I’m interested to know what your Vertical is Bro! Hopefully u see this.
Crazy cuts in those quads.
this vid makes complete sense
Was this recorded on a 90's camcorder?!
I'm diggin the shoes
Love how hes shouting and u can hear his echo in that gym
dont forget the juice after your workouts!!!
apple juice or orange juice ????
cannabidiol
Aaryan Dev Cow! LOL
Juice!? what the fuck is juice!!?? I want that grape drank!
lol chappele
That smile at the end
But what if we are trying to hit the hamstrings too, like for someone who cannot do stiff legged deadlifts to hit them
***** Also leg curls are good for hamstrings.
Hey Jay I was told that you should turn your toes upward to protect the knees, that way all the pressure goes on your back heal.
The lower you put your feet on the platform the more you focus quads and the more stress you are putting on the knee joint.
So one would need to experiement with the correct height for his own build, as low as possible without any knee pain.
I couldn't press as low as he does, no way.
And my squat is very hip dominant which takes away stress from the quads unfortunately but helps keep my knees safe and healthy.

Keep knees in line with the foot (track over your second toe). Don’t let the knee go too far beyond the toes when pushing a lot of weight if it hurts your knee.
His dam quads are crazy. I've always liked cutler. He always seems to be straight up & not full of BS
Actually, you don't train the hamstrings during leg press or squats. In physiology, there's something called, bilateral deficit. Which means, you can't train the quads and the hamstrings at the same time using the same limb. Or, you can't get a "bilateral contraction" at the same time with antagonist muscles.
How many sets? 1 set of 12 reps or 3 sets?
Thx
