sore tail bone from leg presses?

[gman10]

after yesterdays workout; today I again have a sore tailbone from leg presses......anyone have similar issue?....I keep feet about middle of platform and shoulder-width.......also, feet are straight....thnx

your hips should be tucked in , your tail bone must not touch or press on the bench...adjust the angle of your back.

Umm, why is your tailbone sore? Are you talking about your glutes being sore? If so, that is fine. If you go deep and do slow negative reps with a fast positive part of the rep you get more ham and glute involvement coming out of the bottom position. If its you tailbone that's actually hurting, that makes no sense at all. Your ass shouldn't be grinding into the pad, your hips and back need to stay planted in the seat to keep from hurting yourself.

^^ what they said, you need to make sure your're not sliding off the seat, put a towel or something down if your sweating and sliding too much.

Are you sure there's not another guy sneaking under you before you sit down?
