I won't be doing 450# anytime soon. My ankle is a little bad today and I'm 100% sure the leg press is the cause. If I can do 450# 10 times and only have diminished form on reps 9 and 10, I'm sure I can pump out a few at 540#...but I'm not going to risk it until the ankle is fixed.

For those of you who are wondering...my form on the leg press is as follows:

-Feet should width apart, feet pointing straight up.
-I never lock my knee, I keep my legs slightly bent when I am all the way up.
-I lower the weight until the knee is 90 degrees or less.
-I use the 1-1-1 rule, contract for 1 second, hold 1 second, negative contraction for 1 second.

Another reason I haven't done a lot of squats in the past is because of poor ankle flexibility, the leg press finally managed to fix this for me and it also gives me a good idea on how my feet should be when squatting. I have a tendency to have my feet pointing outwards.

I am going to call the clinic I found, right after I finish my post, hope this **** works out...this ankle has ****ed me up for long enough :mad:

P.S. No more Leg Press, reverting to Lunges.

LOL at anniversary stuff and usual animals comments.... :rofl:
 
Eric, the reason I questioned your weight on the leg press is because you said you had an ankle injury and I thought it was a little too much weight to be using until your ankle had healed up. I always err on the side of caution with injuries ... it doesn't take much to f--ck you up again unless you're close to 100%.

Is the leg press machine you use more like a hack squat or is it a shuttle-type leg press?

I do agree that you should lay off the heavy weight until you find out what is wrong with your ankle.
 
As for claw marks, I wear the scars on my rear deltoids with pride.

That's right, look my my rear deltoids carefully you will see them...and no, it wasn't a wild cat....well, maybe.

:cool:

ILM, the leg press I used looks like this:

Where are the pics of your delts, Eric?

That's a good leg press ... makes me want to see pics of your legs now ... :p
 
Screw the delts, I have a much sexier scar in my inner thigh...that one was done by a cougar.

Those are vicious. They are the most vicious of predators, once they are done with you, they move on to the next prey. :rofl:

















You should know...I'm full of crap. I have no such scar :rolleyes:
