      Honestly...it should be kind of socially okay to say "hey man, you are hoarding all the plates and there is really no need to".

    Love these tips! I used to think squatting and leg presses weren't for me because of knee pain. Once I started working on my form and not ego lifting, my ankle mobility has improved so much. Having sore quads and ass cheeks for the next 2-3 days after my workout is so awesome!

      My ankle mobility has always been so ass that it puts me off when it comes to leg workouts, and I can’t seem to improve it..
      I literally cannot go to a 90 degree squat even without any weights, meaning I’ll always need something under my heels. But at the same time having some plates under the heels feels so unstable when you have a load of weight on your shoulders.
      Do you have any good advice on increasing the ankle mobility effectively, other than just performing the moves which might increase it slowly over time?

    Ah yes, there are people in my gym loading more than 500 lbs on the leg press machine, then press it with their arms pushing their knees into the machine with a 1/16 ROM.
    Edit: for those who said 500 lbs is light weight, I'm just using this number for the average population, that's why I put it as "more than 500 lbs". The math is 500+ lbs with ∞ upper limit depending on what you interpret as heavy weight.

    I've been utilizing the leg press machine a lot more, and I've noticed a drastic difference in quad growth and glute strength. I deal with POTS, so I really need to focus on strengthening my legs to keep me from passing out when my heart rate gets up there, and slow controlled reps on this machine has proven to work wonders. I do 6 plates on each side, do 10 slow reps, remove a plate from each side, do 10 more reps, and continue removing till I'm down to 1 plate on each side. At that point, I push till failure, then lay on the machine for a minute so I don't puke lol.

    I did leg press for the first time one month back, as the weight came down my hips went up and I pushed tbe weight up with a raised/elevated hip that stained my back and it took me 3 weeks to recover.
    Did leg press today at a much higher weight and did it perfectly ensuring the back stays glued on the seat and the hard grip on the handle, but I avoid going beyond the right angle as that tends to push my hips forward. I keep it in such a way that my calf and quads are at right angle to each other.

      Honestly the best thing to do is just try different positionings and see what feels the best for you. Pay attention to any discomfort or pain that you feel before, during, and after the lift, and don't lift too heavy when testing them out.
      Some positions will better target certain areas than others so depending on your goals it might even be worth it to you to change positions between sets or days.

    I disagree on foot width. I do a lot of leg press instead of squat due to knee and knee cap problems. You can emphasize different heads and build knee stability depending on the foot placement: shoulder width = mid quad, narrower = inner quad, and wider = outer quad. The difference is like lining the outside part of your feet on the inside part of your shoulders vs. Inside part of your feet on the outside part of your shoulders. You are not trying to get crazy with it; more just slightly shift the balance of weight. I usually do 1-3 super sets at 80%-90% of my working load that to burn out my legs and it really helps my knee stability.

      Also, make sure your knees are hinging, not buckling in or out.

    I started using the leg press to work on my mobility
    With 100kg of plates i cant bottom out the machine without my butt lifting
    With 200kg of plates i can
    So im working on two things, bottom out the machine on as low weight possible and to keep that mobility going heavier

    Mentzer had a very different approach about point 4
    The blood circulation is hydraulic which leads to a loose grip being better for the system

      ​​@@tomgold5006Show me the data that gripping the leg press worsens gains 🤦. You made the claim, burden of proof is on you. Generally speaking, more stability means more force output and gripping hard increases stability here. That doesn't necessarily mean better gains but it definitely doesn't hurt

    Also higher your foot position the more you target muscles and less stress is put on the knee joint. In my opinion based on bio mechanics this is the only way to do it. Narrow foot for quads. Wider foot for posterior chain.

    How are you that flexible? And is there a way to do leg press at home? I was thinking of putting a weighted bar behind my lower back, bending forward, and using my glutes to raise and lower that weight.

    I just replaced back squat with dumbbell front squats. Maybe it’s just me but i only need a fraction of the weight for front squat to get the same exhaustion with the same rough rep-range. And it forces me to engage my core much more to stay balanced.

    Do you think the leg press is safe if you have a bulging disc? The net says no. I' know heavy back squats and deadlifts are out foe now. I've been doing med weight supported hack squats and stiff-legs and of course leg ext and curls. I don't seem to feel any pain while doing them, but heard you should limit bending over and too much load on the back so I'm thinking I should stop the stiff legs too. What do you ir somebody with experience with this condition recommend for legs and back?

    Going deep isn't advised by many, as it causes butt wink, and the opinion is that butt wink is not good. Also, lots of people will have problems getting the weight back up when it goes deep. I press 720 lbs, 6 sets, 25 reps and will never go deeper than 90%, as there's little benefit going deeper.

    I tend not to lock my knees out because it's a rested position and the muscles don't do any work there. Only when I feel I can get 1 or 2 more reps will I lock out the knees in between to catch my breath.
