@TRISKADEXTER Also, sweating profusely is a really effective method of attracting our attention, I suggest a spray bottle. We’re on to you.

@MarioBrosClassic move your feet higher
November 16, 2010 - 3:07 am
@kabalakabala Angle of knee should be 90 degrees. Also be sure that your knee does not go farther than your toes. The guy in the video actually has his feet a little low on the machine. Majority of the weight should distributed on your heels.

@titans091052 ROFL no

@MarioBrosClassic You probably shouldn’t be lifting if you have to ask a question like that.
November 16, 2010 - 4:08 am
@MarioBrosClassic don’t come too low with your legs, when yo feel that your feet can’t bend any further, it’s time to push the weight up
November 16, 2010 - 4:08 am
@kabalakabala ….. I think it’s good to lower the weight until your legs are at about a 90 degree angle (upper leg from lower leg) … lowering it more, especially if you haven’t mastered this exercise, can put you at risk for injury… just my opinion =]

haha I’m 5ft 8 and weigh 78kg so yeah I’m a bit chubby and at my gym the highest option is 180kg and I can happily do 12 reps at over 6 sets without any stress or aching afterwards, is that abnormal? :S

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Can someone please tell me how low should we go during the leg press? I know it should not touch the chest, but how low? What should the angle of the knee be?
November 16, 2010 - 7:24 am
how the fuck do you keep the weight on your heels when coming down it puts the pressure on your toes and front calf

Well done man, its great to get a straight down the line and down to earth education in weight training.
November 16, 2010 - 8:49 am
@KawaiyoKoji It depends if you ever worked out or doing sports like football. Start off with 50KG is fine, if its easy go to 55-60. You really have to check yourself

How much weight is good for a beginner?
November 16, 2010 - 10:12 am

hey mate thanks for the demonstration, that machine scares me a lot. Does the leg press help to build up good muscles to sustain and protect the knees?
keep up the work out!
