You're a hero I'm at the mid of my leg exercises and just thought about getting sean's opinion on leg press and this saved me time

Okay I have to admit I am guilty some of these mistakes! Thank you for pointing them out and making my work out more efficient!

All great points. I've actually seen several people get injured from locking out knees on the leg press, & I feel it can be damaging to the joints long term. Much better to keep tension on the muscles thru the full ROM by not locking out the knees.

@FitLabb

@@user-zk4dv2nx8k The short simple answer is no. Joints don’t adapt…the muscles, tendons, & ligaments that stabilize & move them do. While you can strengthen your joints by strengthening your muscles, tendons, & ligaments…when you lock out a joint under tension, you are removing all the tension off the very soft tissues that give it the strength & stability it needs. That’s where the damage can be done over time, & the joint itself will not adapt to that specific situation.

I was doing this a while back with heavy ass weight, my knees genuinely still don’t feel right and hurts when I squat or even sit down sometimes, I’d actually appreciate a fix if anyone has one

i love these queue points you are putting in, thanks mate!

This is a huge help, thank you so much fur posing and sharing your knowledge.

Really looking forward to making these tweaks to my leg workout. I had a lower lumbar lamenectomy and so these tips are great. Thanks 🙏

Love these types of videos. Keep them coming.

All the pointers were on point!

I’ve been training 56 years, and this is excellent as well as correct information. Well done.

Very informative. Thanks Sean. I would like to see exercises that you like to do for mid traps.

Didn’t realize there was such thing as TOO much ROM on the leg press, I might be guilty of bringing the weight too far down and stressing my lower back. Great video!

@BigHalfSteps

2 жыл бұрын

Generally it is true, but also depends on the individual's height and hamstring flexibility. After certain point your legs can't go lower without rounding the back, so there is no fixed range on where to stop, but just the cue of taking notes and see how it feels. Also there is the possibility for your legs to be less activated at the bottom if you overdo it too much. You seen people not getting up from a squat? Same principle.

@nikolateslacoil4003

Totally depends on hip mobility. As soon as the hips run out of room (due to genetic hip structure or mobility) the lower back rounds to compensate.

"Gold - Men's Quarter Leg Press", lol! It's pretty crazy how often I've seen people do that in the past. Stack the press with 45s and go down 2 inches. They think people are watching with amazement when people are actually watching and wondering wtf is wrong with them.

Ego-lifting is a blight in general. No one cares how much you lift but people will definitely notice bad form.

This is exactly kzread.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS 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.

This was very useful! Thank you!

Point #6 is a lifesaver for me. I never knew why i kept getting a sore lower back post my leg press. Thanks Sean !

Thanks for the seat angle tip.

Nice. Thank you

This guy is so helpful, I can't stress this enough he's saved me on my fitness journey

Yea. I just started leg pressing and I’ve been going as low as I can (comfortably) I’m not sure if I’m guilty of this but it is possible that I’m rolling my back like he mentioned. so this is super helpful. Not to mention the angle of the machine as well as foot placement. Amazing video!

as someone who has been dealing with lumbar herniated discs since I was 16yrs old, I can't stress enough how crucial you position, seat setting and overall posture keep you away from 99% of injures. I love working out on legs day, especially the doing the leg press, your advice is totally on point and will prevent a lot of ppl from getting hurt. thanks a lot for this upload.

Hi Sean Loving your videos I'm learning so much from them , but would love to see a video on rear belts please 🙏

I love your videos thank you so much for educating me 🥰

@Sean Nalewanyj Great video sir, real helpful . I was hoping that there would be an example on how to actually do it correctly at the end of the video as well, maybe you could add something like that in ur future videos.

Great content! You make it seem so easy but the truth is that there is a lot of information out there that is awful, not science-based...and just too risky for newbies! Keep up the great work!

Great tips.

Sick hams Sean!

For years I ignored the leg press and hack squat machines, but this year I've finally given them some love, and I am really enjoying both. Agreed, higher rep ranges with less weight is the way to go (8-15 is nice), since you don't get bonus points for going heavy as hell and only doing 5 half reps.

Thanks so much! I’ve only been at the gym for about a year now and I never really understood how to use leg press machine. These tips are a life saver

At this point I just love this guy, you are best fitness influencer so far I’ve seen, lucky I found you

Great points. I will check the position of the seat. I feel my glutes work more than the quads. Thanks!

Thanks brother

Sean for President 🔥💯

Great video - thank you!!👍 I would really appreciate a video about lunges. What is the best way to perform them? Since it's basically a one-side-dominant exercise, does the back foot supply only the balance or should the load be divided equally on both legs? If I would like to hit a range of 8-10 reps is a 'left-foot-front+right-foot-front' considered one or two reps? (I ask that because I count left+right as one rep, but before reaching 10 reps, breathing becomes the limiting factor while the muscles are not exhausted)

Hi, Can you make a video about the standing calves raises? Thank you!

Sean Nalewanyj and John Meadows are the only fitness channels that are no bs and very informative! As soon as I see an upload I know I will learn somerhing new and helpful!

Sean great content, love ur style. Im wondering if you have a hack or tip on how to fire my quad after knee replacement. Im having difficulty with mind to muscle connection, have lost alot of strength in that leg, and mean while my other leg keeps getting stronger. Its starting to look really word. Thanx, Eddy.

Hey Sean, when using the leg press machine for calves, should I first get into the position for standing calf raises with my knees locked out, or should I use the entire leg press range of motion? Of course, given that my heels are off the sled. Thanks!

Question: Is it ok to lift your heel up slightly, when lowering foot placement? I think i saw you do it around 4:44-46. Ive heard other youtubers say its ok but trying to comfirm. I appreciate the helpful videos

No BS just straight to the point. Thanks.

Good info, I'll pay more attention to these things next time I do leg press although after watching this I think I am actually doing it fine, lol. Would be nice to see a video about hack squats! Never used it myself, haven't given it much thought either ever since getting a disc herniation, but I was wondering if it maybe was a safer alternative to barbell squats, an option without so much load on the lower back (?)

Sean....I went online to purchase the pre-workout you recommend, but the product was out of stock. Do you know when it will be available again? I would like to try it out.

Sean can you go over the good and the bad on doing squats.

Sean can you make a video on Lactose intolerance and intolerance from milk protein, and how to deal with it? Plus, can we train our gut to tolerate the foods which one is normally intolerant to? That would really be helpful! Love your content from India.
