WTF!!! I am sure all the people who do leg press do feel blurriness in their eye site and that is cause all the blood is rushed in the legs … too bad we don’t have G suits … same shit happens when experiencing hi G force … but to an extend to make you wear glasses … damn … that is sick and messed up … heavy weight should be aligned with proper form … and stimulating targeted muscle group … I was surprised he was doing pullover for chest as I have said many times that is a lat exercise … and while doing leg press I emphasis on pushing from the toes to press with your quad muscle and exclude the glues, hamstring and back … of course you can’t go as heavy but lifting heavy doesn’t mean lifting heavy weights in bodybuilding ...
Really sad for Gustavo as he a great guy and respectable family man … hope he recovers as health should be number concern on everyone’s list
Let me give you a fast lesson in Biomehahnics of human motion-you need it.
1- Pullovers. Although a pullover, at least with a DB, is primarily a back exercise-it also is a pec exercise by adducting the humerous bones of the arms.
2- "pushing" with your toes on leg presses-it makes NO difference if you push with your toes, heels or ankles, the leg press is a limited range flexion movement of primarily the knee joint, so all the muscles that EXTEND the knee joint are active-including the hamstrings and quads. What you "push" to extend the knee is immaterial.
HTH's.
