For all you leg press blokes out there....

[spywizard]

well... anything past 90 degrees on the knee transfers the weight to the skeletal system and thus allows the muscle to release the tension.. and if he's 40, i'd suggest he better not be going past 90 degrees for sure..

Further, once the muscle is engaged and the mitochondria is exhausted, and bursts, recovery and development of the mitochondria would be his desired goal.. if muscle fiber grown is desired, and he's 40, i'd suggest he needs to be on at least trt, and IGF supplementation to achieve that..

CNS development is also a problem, many people don't lift as much as they are capable because the CNS is not shocked nor developed, I'd suggest he is doing that as well..

thoughts??

I agree with you on the 90 degree issue with squats. but for me, and leg press, all the way down to the backs of my heels, and i've never really had any issues with my knees. But again, I'm lower weight and higher reps, and therefore not pushing the 900lbs like i saw this other bloke doing.

I also agree with the CNS comment. Leg press really is difficult for me (as i suspect it is for many), and I need to push this as i know it will extend my CNS, slowly, but it will.
