Stats time!

[abdu1lah]

Wierd? Maybe becoz i started out training years back just hitting my upper body and neglecting my lower half but a few years later i start to train everything equally so my upper body strength is way much stronger than lower body. ooppss and i didnt know that leg presses dont count ****. Frm Boxfit Fengshan here, anyone else workout there too??

 

[galapogos]

Just to make sure, since you mentioned the leg press...are those lift done with a standard olympic barbell(not smith machine), and done with full ROM(i.e. for bench - bar touches chest, for squat - ATG, for deadlift(full extension/lockout at the top)?

Great way to screw up your back.

Why you doing leg press?

I was talking about the barbell lifts when mentioning full ROM, not the leg press. In fact in the leg press you don't want to have full ROM since when your knee touches your chest, you are almost guaranteed to be in lumbar flexion, which is the last thing you want when you have 320kg piled on you.

oh gosh, is it that bad to get the knees to touch the chest? coz i wasnt doing it all the way till Halim Haron the Singapore champ told me that i should go all the way down to get the full benefits.

 

[galapogos]

Yes, it's bad. Champs may do what they feel work the best for them, but they rarely go in depth enough to truly know what works best for most people without causing potential injury.
