No....its not.....heres my take on it:

1) Why in the hell are you wearing a belt to bench??  I could understand it if you were in a meet...but for a regular workout???

2) The way your bar sits in your hands makes MY wrists hurt.  NO mechanical advantage.  Try bringing the bar over your wrists more.

3) Keep those hips down.  Every time you move them, you lose stability....thus lose strength.

3) Keep those hips down.  Every time you move them, you lose stability....thus lose strength.

It's funny that you mention the belt because that was the first day in my life I ever used a belt to bench.  I wanted to see if it offered any advantage but I didn't find that it did.

The other tips are all well and good and would help me out, but keep in mind I only eat < 2,000 calories per day and THAT is the real reason why I don't gain any muscle.

It reminded me of the thread Alex started asking why getbig has been going down in terms of quality lately and he kept trying to make up reasons for this when the real reason is simply that the server is shit on here.  Likewise, while my training is hard and heavy but with imperfect form, that really has nothing to do with my lack of gains.  My lack of calories = my lack of gains.  Eat like a bird, look like a bird.  It's as simple as that.  While my training may have flaws, it really has little to do with my lack of gains.  You can't gain muscle on such low calories.

That is why Alex is one of the biggest dudes on getbig!!  He probably has a larger appetite than I do and consumes more protein and overall calories.

I didnt say anything about you gaining muscle.  All I said was correct your form.  Correct form will allow for easier movement of weight.

Why wear gloves for a leg press?  Also....that cybex leg press is one of the biggest pain in the ass leg presses out there.  The release/lock handle alone makes me avoid it.

You are pressing with your front delts.  Looking at your your proportions this is a consistent problem with more than just bench press.

A few tips to bring your chest in play
1. Roll your shoulders back at the start of every negative, keep them as far back as possible
2. Lower the bar higher on your chest, halfway between your nipples and clavicle.

Consider hiring a good national level bodybuilder to show you how to train.

leg press is such a useless measurment of strengt.

point #1: all legpresses are different cause set at different angles.

point #2: to many douchbags does 2 inch rom presses working knee joints only.  ::)

i'm sure you are a pretty strong fellow though alex
Title: Re: Decent leg press day.
Post by: Rami on June 25, 2008, 12:39:58 PM
why do people do that to their bodies. Why lift something so heavy, it tears on your ligaments, tendons and joints.

High reps and proper execution is more effective any way.


Hope this helps.

In who's face? You just loaded up a sled and took a picture of it. That's a lot different than actually using it for a full range rep isn't it? Silly boy. Why would you have to post it even if you could do it? You need us to validate you as a big man?

i actually like the cybex leg press its movement feels alot more natural to me and is easier on my knees, the release handle isnt that bad once you get used to it

and i got 1270, how in the world did you get 1700????

Post by: Fortress on June 25, 2008, 02:32:13 PM
Yeah, the leg-press exercise isn't an accurate guage of strength. I'm a powerlifter and squat close to 700, and when I perform the movement, I use no more than 6 or 700 pounds, tops. I bring my knees to a point where they sit beside my delts. Real deep reps. I've witnessed many folks "press" much, much more than I do, and they'd be lucky to ascend with 185 pounds draped across their backs.

One doofus at my old gym (a middle-aged fool with no measureable muscle) would load the damn machine with well over a tonne and perform two-inch reps, and then get a look on his face like he was The Man. Right. I told him once that he'd derive more benfit with less resistance and more range of motion and he smirked as if he "knew better".  

In the three years I frequented that establishment this dude grew not an ounce of muscle weight and never could bench press more than 185 OUT OF THE RACK. Pathetic gimp.

careful with that, dude. if you go that deep, your lower back is probably rounding and your hips lifting off the pad. unless you've got weirdly loose hip joints there's no need to go that deep.

of course, there's also no real need to do heavy leg presses (like you said), but hey. ::)
Title: Re: Decent leg press day.
Post by: JohnnyVegas on June 25, 2008, 04:26:20 PM
LOL, he is da man but here is the real man leg pressin' baby


1) that is a Nebula leg press, and Nebula are not 45 degree angled leg presses, they are set at 35 degrees, which lowers the resistance by 30%, So doing 30 plates on a Nebula would be like doing 20 plates on a Flex leg press.

2) RC is doing pussy half ROM eps, not nealy deep enough.

Yeah too deep is when your hips start to lift.  This does make you prone to injury, good to try and go as deep as you can before that happens, a little below parallel for me usually.  People don't get below the sticking point on many exercises and if they don't they will not grow much, squats and presses of all kinds are also often short ranged.
