Locking out Knees on Leg Press

[amazingcabbage]

Explanation of video: locking out completely is safe if it is controlled. If you’re doing a PR or a weight you can only rep 3 times for example, it’s not safe.

Unrelated but saddest gym bro interaction my dad had: A guy he'd seen daily for months and often chatted with came in one day and said he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (forget which type). His exact words were "I'm going to fight this thing, but if you don't see me here again in a few months, it's been good knowing you." My dad never saw him again. :(

You just have to be very careful. There’s no rush. Unless you’re getting close to failure and then it’s just pain pain pain

Bro’s message is getting increasingly encrypted

I use to get criticized for locking out on leg press because “you’ll damage your knees”. It felt completely normal to me. No pain, no strain and repping 12-15. I just don’t fully lock out when going heavy

I’m definitely not locking them out. I’m scared brother

I actually had a guy at the gym explain to me why this is bad n how u can get HORRIFICALLY INJURED locking ur knees - ill always be grateful for him, he was so cool!

[Rrrafe]

One of my first ever tips I got from a guy at the gym, appreciate that guy

Sticking out your tongue for the picture

It's crazy to knowing the dude is literally his twin. I thought he was doing double take 😂

A guy saw me locking my legs and immediately told me to stop and showed me how to properly do them, grateful fr

Edit: to those who don't understand, I was completely stopping with my knees straight as a needle, I was NOT controlling the movement

If your knees give out backwards when doing leg presses, you are lifting too heavy. I suspect your eccentric is not deep enough, if you can do it. Knees to shoulders (or as close to it as you can.)

I was about to say he do leg day once a month, but my bro proud of him.

[diligentsun]

'if i do it correctly, he might return...!'

Still don’t lock out your knees. No benefits, only potential loss

[ahmadamer]

Notice that the first guy added weight, while the other stayed on the same weight

[ashtoncomer]

I like to push it to the point where if I wanted to lock out it almost feels like flexing my knee rather than pushing the weight with my quads
