Anyone use a vertical leg press? I just joined an old school powerlifting gym and got to use my first one in several years today.

These things are RIDICULOUSLY hard. I absolutely love it. I'll NEVER leg press on a normal Gold's machine again.

I leg press ~1000 x 6-7 on a normal 45degree leg press but on this thing I could only put up 525 x 6 and got the 7th rep 80% up before failure.

i dont do leg press

Damn u ever tried horizontal squatting?

no men, leg press

bettor for calf and cow

I bet you also squat maybe 315x1 tops.

What do you do to develop your hamstrings? I bet you don't do good mornings. I bet you don't even activate your hamstrings in your squats.

Want to add 50 pounds to your squat in 3 months? Add heavy, controlled leg presses.

the fuck is your problem lol kill your ego fagget

You must be one of the 315 squatting kids.

Lol kill your ego problem the fuck is your fagget

this was a year ago, infant.

you make this thread to boast about numbers and how fucking cool a vertical leg press is, no one gives a shit. you go off on an under-developed hamstring ranting tangent then proclaim that heavy leg presses will add 50 pounds to your squat in 3 months.

what the fuck was the point of this post you little shit?

If you do not use mind-muscle connection to activate your hamstrings, what brings you out of the hole on a squat?

Quit pretending like your body isn't using X muscle because you're not consciously focused on contracting it. Whether you can think/feel it or not, it doesn't change the bio-mechanics of the lift.

inb4 I only squat 315. (as if that is even bad...)
