Heavy leg presses kill my ankles
My ankles are pretty dainty (8 1/2") so they probably just arent designed to handle huge poundages. When i was up to 800lbs+ they hurt like i had actually broken them after a set. Anyone suffer the same problem? Apart from going lighter and increacing the reps i cant think what to do

It sounds like just one of those pains in the azzes we have to put up with. My wrists hurt when I do heavy bench...I guess it just comes with the territory.
My ankles also hurt when I do calve raises and leg presses heavily due to previous injuries.

No i dont agree that you should do things that actually hurt you. Im only 21 i dont want to develop probems in later life due to being stupid now. And when i say it feel like its broken it doenst start hurting till i rack teh weight and take the pressure off it then it begins to hurt. And i mean excrciating pain for a few minutes.

Sounds like what happens to my forearms/wrists when I set the bar down after doing barbell or preacher curls... but that only hurts for 15 seconds tops.

Switch to squats, I bet you it's the angle the leg press is putting your ankles at that's the problem. I swear leg presses and smith machines are the devil for bad biomechanics.

Archiles tendon is too stiff. Limits the ROM range of motion/travel.
