Leg press form
Is the correct full ROM on leg press going until your knees are 90 degrees, or until your knees touch your chest?

Damn it feels good to be right. This gym at my gym had me worried, and everyone that uses the leg press we just got only goes 90.

There are times were I change my feet placement when doing leg press, middle,upper part or lower part, but yea normally I go deep
Every setback is a learning experience,but first you have to see the lesson

I would go as far down as possible with out causing the low back to round off the back support. keep the feet to shoulder width or close and low on the platfrom. feet spread out wide and high on the platform will hit the hamstrings & glutes more.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Not unlike squats, I see so many people pile a shit load of weight on the LP machine and then bring the platform down to not even 90, probably not even 60.
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
