What the fuck else would you use on the leg press

>>38975554
What I'm trying to get at is that leg press isn't impressive. People think it's a milestone to leg press 6 plates each side when it's not.

Mind your business asshole, who are you the autist gym census guy. Eat a dick you fucking idiot.

The kind of person OP is talking about is a problem. He's fucking up the equipment by putting additional weight on it like that, and he's likely wasting other people's time by using like 20 plates and sitting there for 10 minutes between sets on the leg press machine. That type of behavior should be shamed out of existence as much as possible. Threads like this help accomplish that.

OP is not being the "gym census guy," which doesn't make sense even in a deliberately absurd context. He's just being a responsible member of a subset of society--the gym. We need people like this.

So fuck off with your lazy and counterproductive attitude.

OP here. You can see the 45 on the opposite side. He needed to use the weight pin from the stack on the opposite side to hold the extra 45 in. There was a guy trying to do tricep push downs but when he realized he couldn't adjust the weight on the stack because the cable row guy was using it, he just went over to another exercise.

>>38975465
That's pretty fucking creative but now I learned how people manage to bend the pins.

Ayyy whattya gonna do? Oh yeah! Cry like a bitch about it on the Internet.

Tell the cunt, or if youre too much of a pussy report it, or shut the fuck up stop being an aspie and get on with your business.

These kind of threads just demonstrate real bitch like behaviour. You might need to get your test checked fellas.

>Hes also the same guy who loads up the leg press with 45s and rests 10 minutes between sets
You mean the guy who does this?

>>38975465
>not having his lifting buddy grab the cables for extra friction, therefore extra weight and extra gains

not gonna make it

>>38975668
If the man needs 10 minures between sets the man needs 10 minutes between sets.

Fuck. I've run into a squat rack shrugger before. They're the worst.

> that guy that takes more than 30 seconds rest between machine sets
> that guy that takes more than 1 minute rest during compound lifts

> yfw they argue the recommended amount of rest time between heavy compound lifts is 2 minutes

It's like these people don't even want to make it. How do you expect to gain muscle when you take more time resting in the gym than actually lifting.

Broscience dictates that 1-2 minutes between sets is best for hypertrophy

He doesn't. This is like making an excuse for someone who cuts you off in traffic.

Great workout if you do single leg presses. Other then that you're wasting your time

>>38979131
If you reat properly and long enough, you can repeat maximal efforts, getting more training volume than if you hadn't reated, thus getting more gains

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25047853/

Reviews of all academic literature show that *when you control for volume* reat intervals do not affect hypertrophy or strength adaptations.

You can get more volume in if you rest, though..

>>38979587
Actual science disagrees

What about the changes in metabolism, human growth hormone production and testosterone that comes from short resting periods.

>Rest intervals less than 1 minute can result in acute increases in serum growth hormone levels and these rest intervals also decrease the serum testosterone to cortisol ratio.

They are stating that they have no idea and are simply reading a lot of studies. They have done NO long term trials.
