Why do people do this shit

What makes this exercise bad?

I never use it but it seems decent??

This exercise is not bad, but you shouldn't try to load max weights and attempt to press for few inches. Egoistical faggots do this.

Do squats (or at least smith machine squat) instead if you want to do a max rep. They are similar to leg press but use significantly less weights.

>why do they all seem to do 60% of the work for you?

Because of the angle the sled is held at. It'd be damn near impossible to make a leg press machine that doesn't carry most of the load for you

what's the point of loading up that much weight and doing 1/10th ROM

what godless faggotry

the whole point of leg press is that it's simple enough to just rep out close to failure and not worry about being snapped up

what a fag

The whole point of a leg press is to be able to get high rep (minimum 8-20 reps) and get a deep as fuck stretch, burn and pump on your legs, something that you can't really get with a squat without form breaking down completely.

I never go above 5 plates on the leg press and stay over 15 rep range, I have 24 inch quads at 5'7.

>Kettlebell on the handle

Literally what is even the point? To counteract some of the weight on the other side?

>Hey where are all the plates?
>oh

>Dubs are good,
>Dubs are fun,
>But the TRIPS ARE MINE,
You heathen scum

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH OFF BY FUCKING 1 WHAT THE FUCK NONONONO I TRIED SO FUCKING HARD!!!!!!!!!! I WAITED SO LONG I TRIED SO HARD, BUT IN THE END I BELONG ON A PLATT-ERERRRRR. KILL ME

this, i find that racking the leg press is a really good exercise for forearms.

Let's do some rows user

Because its takes twice as much time and effort to use as a barbell squatting but its not nearly as efficient of an exercise, all so a guy can pretend he just moved 3x the weight he actually can.

Its only legitimate use is for those unable to squat due to injury or something

But you can't make normies gasp in awe

I did this yesterday for the first time after squatting with like 3pl8 and lots of time under tension. it was plenty heavy for a nice burn. Why do people do like 20pl8? Is that necessary?

its stupid

takes 3 years to rack the weight
way too much lower back load

thw worst is when they bounce the sled. off the bottom safeties

le ebin leg press maymemeay

>All of the weight past the fulcrum are literally helping him

What a meme

Try and match my leg press you cookie cutter porn addict faggot

>are you even trying to make it

Everyone did.

Me last week.

What are pulleys

my fucking sides

Only works the legs and glutes. Helps me with flexibility and getting a leg workout until I can do squats and DL again.

>all that back hair
kys

How do I into santa mode?

>way too much lower back load

Then your hips are too tight for the depth you're at and your pelvis is rotating, placing the load on your lower back.

If you're doing it correctly, you don't load the lower back.

kek'd at this

>this fucking guy

It's like a carpet. I have to trim it.

its much much much easier than squatting

anyone who disagrees is either lying or has never squatted heavy

this guy is unironically stronger than 100% of Veeky Forums

That's why I use the leg press unilaterally.

some special feel about a siberian gym

because there's nothing to it, but to do it

Gym noob here. You mean that squats are better?

ego

...

I can't really do the leg press anymore because I get this strange pain in my left ribcage. Looked it up and it's apparently common, a small muscle or something attached to the ribcage that literally rips off. Luckily my shit was just sore and not that far gone so fuck this shit.

depends on what you are trying to do.

but if you are asking that question in the first place then you dont know much so a quick answer is: Yes, squats are better.

is this 1/32 ROM? this is ego lifting to a whole other level.

you can tell that pic was taken at the bottom of his ROM. you all know it.

mirin' his knee routine
