Me doing a leg press

I dont know thats why i need critiquing lol
 
well your opinion doesnt matter
 
it looks like your knees are buckling in and your ankle mobility is jacked up. but it is hard to tell from that angle.
 
I noticed the knees too
 
Good call!

you said you dont think
plus you havent provided me with a logical and/or sensible answer evere in my whole time on this forum
 
pelvic position and hip mobility dictate depth again (just like the squat).
 
If those are 45s, this thread just made me feel like less of a man :(
 
I used to have some trouble with my ankles (sprained em in football). I used to move my feet up closer to the top of the plate, even have the top of em stick over a little. This kept my heels down better, don't know if that would really be recommended but thats just how I dealt with it till I limbered back up some.
 
haha they are, but my form needs work
 
how deep are we supposed to go is it till you knees touch your chest ?

no, very hard on the lower back, when your hips start to rise from the seat you're going to deep.
 
"WHuuuu...stop it."
 
lol i was in alot of pain
i had done like, 5 sets before that
 
P-Funk: Any chance of a blog writeup for stretching and how to design a proper stretching routine?

The ankle mobility comment reminded me of that. I've found a ton of information on the benefits, what happens when you don't stretch, how to perform different stretches, etc. What I haven't found is that one post where it's all about "this is how you make good progression in stretching" and "this is what a good stretching routine looks like".

Not an expert but I'd like to chime in. You need at least 10 seconds or so for the golgi complex to recognize the stretch, stimulate the cns and cause a relaxation in the muscle. A short stretch really only causes a contraction, you need ample time to allow a good stretch after your muscles have relaxed. 30 seconds is good but depending on how limber you are it may take longer. As far as a working routine I know what works for me and I've been taught close to 100 different ways of stretching the various muscle groups but I would hate to recommend something that isn't effective. I'll leave that to the experts.

stretching is a really individual thing as far as what muscles to stretch and what muscles to leave along. It would be tough to just make a general comment about what stretches to use as it wouldn't apply to everyone.

Maybe when I get the Optimum Sports Performance newsletter up and running in the next few months, we can have some video displays of how to perform certain stretches and what they would be good for.

I hurt my back in high school doing leg presses. I read in FLEX magazine, lol, that you should go knees to chest. My ass would lift off the pad and I injured my lower back. Had a hard time walking for almost a week.
 
DontStop,

Both leg press videos you showed were done in bad form. Less weigh, slow/smooth/fluid motion, go down as far as you would go down on squats...

Everything else in here is good information as well. Good luck, lets see another video in a couple weeks!
