Why do people do this shit

>>40415465
so you can spend more time racking and unwracking weight than actually using the machine

why doesn't someone just make one of those that doesn't require you to multiple the weight you'd use on a squat by 3?
like why do they all seem to do 60% of the work for you?

>>40415482
>implying hes going to unrack it
nice joke friendo

>>40415465

Some men just want to watch their legs burn.

I literally had to wait to squat because two kids decided to load up 500kg on one of these

>>40415543
what he means is that that faggot would be able to squat 1/3 of those plates for a better all around workout

>>40415591
>Implying he can squat 5 plate

ego, like 99% of the other dumb shit that goes on in the gym

>>40415630
Only further proves the points.

Why waste time racking and hogging that much weight when a squat is a better workout with a fraction of the resources.

>>40415465

What makes this exercise bad?

I never use it but it seems decent??

>>40415682
This exercise is not bad, but you shouldn't try to load max weights and attempt to press for few inches. Egoistical faggots do this.

Do squats (or at least smith machine squat) instead if you want to do a max rep. They are similar to leg press but use significantly less weights.

>>40415487

>why do they all seem to do 60% of the work for you?

Because of the angle the sled is held at. It'd be damn near impossible to make a leg press machine that doesn't carry most of the load for you

>>40415465
what's the point of loading up that much weight and doing 1/10th ROM

what godless faggotry

the whole point of leg press is that it's simple enough to just rep out close to failure and not worry about being snapped up

what a fag

The whole point of a leg press is to be able to get high rep (minimum 8-20 reps) and get a deep as fuck stretch, burn and pump on your legs, something that you can't really get with a squat without form breaking down completely.

I never go above 5 plates on the leg press and stay over 15 rep range, I have 24 inch quads at 5'7.

Let's do some rows anon

>>40415682
Because its takes twice as much time and effort to use as a barbell squatting but its not nearly as efficient of an exercise, all so a guy can pretend he just moved 3x the weight he actually can.

Its only legitimate use is for those unable to squat due to injury or something

>>40416177
But you can't make normies gasp in awe

>>40415465
I did this yesterday for the first time after squatting with like 3pl8 and lots of time under tension. it was plenty heavy for a nice burn. Why do people do like 20pl8? Is that necessary?

>>40415465
its stupid

takes 3 years to rack the weight
way too much lower back load

thw worst is when they bounce the sled. off the bottom safeties

Only works the legs and glutes. Helps me with flexibility and getting a leg workout until I can do squats and DL again.

>way too much lower back load

Then your hips are too tight for the depth you're at and your pelvis is rotating, placing the load on your lower back.

If you're doing it correctly, you don't load the lower back.

its much much much easier than squatting

anyone who disagrees is either lying or has never squatted heavy

this guy is unironically stronger than 100% of /fit/

Gym noob here. You mean that squats are better?

ego

I can't really do the leg press anymore because I get this strange pain in my left ribcage. Looked it up and it's apparently common, a small muscle or something attached to the ribcage that literally rips off. Luckily my shit was just sore and not that far gone so fuck this shit.

>>40419353
depends on what you are trying to do.

but if you are asking that question in the first place then you dont know much so a quick answer is: Yes, squats are better.

>>40416718
is this 1/32 ROM? this is ego lifting to a whole other level.

>>40415465
you can tell that pic was taken at the bottom of his ROM. you all know it.
