I never see anyone go to the safety on leg pressing. They always go like 3-5" lower and than push it back up. Its like some tard that was trying to leg press 1200lbs and moving it down 3"

i bring the weight as low as possible.. til it feel slike its putting too much stress on my knees (which usually never happens cos im 21)
I squat below parallel at low weights too... and some trainer at LA Fitness once had the nerve to tell me that was improper form, while i was discussing it with my lifting partner and just saying i like the strecth/range and all...
so i was like 'ok, look i do it when the weight is easy ya kno under 175 when i throw on more i only go parallel and no sir i dont do those popular 1/2 squats people seem to love i use proper ROM im not a dbag' than i procedded to leave the locker room before he responded. i might of even told him sometime about not giving advice to people that arent paying for his training, especially if its not requested.. cos im a dickhead like that osmetimes.

Originally posted by stonecoldtruthThe ROM on the safety bars on my leg press sled has my quads still about an inch from touching my chest, so I personally don't use the safety, go quads to chest or nothing..
I did once do safety bars for 1200@6 reps, just to prove a point to some old geezers.

Originally posted by LancerVWhat type of leg press is it? Im doubting the 1200pounds
Like that, and doubt away bro to the safeties is a VERY limited ROM.. compounded by the fact that my body used to lug around 400+ LBS daily.. *shrug* Quads to chest I could NEVER push 1200lbs, but to the safeties, yep.Back to the basics!

I also do more than 45degrees probobaly around 60-75degrees back so I can all the way down to where the machine stopsLast edited by LancerV; 06-09-2006, 02:45 PM.

Originally posted by stonecoldtruthThe back position on ours is lower than that one, but it is also stuck in place. I wish we could lower it more..
I also make use of higher foot placement to hit the glutes/hams better.
I have midget legs! I also go all the way knees to chest. Not 1200lb though lmao more like 240 ish for me.What typos?
