Leg Press form - lock out?

**cherrydrpepper** · 06-21-2010, 10:42 AM

Hi I never lock out on leg press but see some people do this, some pros even. I keep just a little bit of bend in my leg at the extension. Is there any reason to lock out or is it personal preference?

"some" people are ****ing retarded too. Save your joints...you want to keep tension on the muscle..DON'T lock out!

Agreed, you are only looking for injury. Im always afraid of hyper extension with lock out.

How many threads can one guy start about obvious answer questions? Yes, Lock Out. Do it all the time! C'mon, if you've been lifting for a week you know the answer to this.

I've got a machine for leg press. Not ideal, but i get full range of motion, I can target the number of reps to failure, and no pressure on my shoulders/neck or back. Dam I hate getting old!
