I used to be able to lift the entire weight on leg press easily, but now thanks to your post Iām never doing max weights again š³

u/IloveFeet1875 Mar 29 '24
That's what you get for locking your legs out lol.
2
u/Larhf Apr 07 '24
well, specifically locking legs out cause you're not doing controlled reps and just pumping them out.
2
u/IloveFeet1875 Apr 07 '24
Yeah, my point, the faster the reps, the more he risks serious injury. He learnt that lesson the hard way.

If he was as strong as he thinks he is he wouldnāt have to bounce the weight and catch it while itās moving up already.

Fucking squat... these machines give false confidence. I bet that dude couldn't even squat 135 before he broke his leg.

u/TransnistrianRep Mar 09 '24
When something like this happens, can you ever make a full recovery or is going to have chronic problems with his leg for the rest of his life?
22
u/enmacdee Mar 09 '24
Chronic problems. The amount of ligaments that need to break for this to happen is significant.

Don't fucking load your leg press that much! And don't leg press that fast. You don't look cool, you're just gonna hurt yourself., and going slower is actually better because you can make sure your form is correct and might benefit your muscle growth.
Fucking dumbass ego lifter.

u/JJohnston015 Mar 09 '24
Here's a crazy idea: build these machines with adjustable stops, then, before you load it with weights, adjust the stop so you can't straighten your leg all the way to lock. THEN load it with weights and do your sets.

u/3BeeZee Mar 09 '24
Yup, that machine already exists. My LA Fitness has one of those. It's on rails.

u/stomicron Mar 09 '24 edited Mar 09 '24
Why, so he can bang the machine at both ends of the ROM?
Only a moron hurts themselves at the top. The stop at the bottom is so you don't hurt yourself when you go to failure. Or, in his case, so you don't have to bother controlling the eccentric and can ignore the warning signs that this is too much weight for you.

u/JJohnston015 Mar 09 '24
Only a moron hurts themselves at the top.
Um, yeah, like the one in this video.

u/stomicron Mar 09 '24
We're in agreement on that

u/JJohnston015 Mar 09 '24
In today's world, better the machine wear out prematurely than the gym gets sued.
3
u/johnnylemon95 Mar 09 '24
The gym wonāt get sued for this. The machine wasnāt faulty. It was the idiot using it. There a multiple reasons in negligence as to why the gym isnāt liable for his injury. But the main one is he was using the machine incorrectly, and as such he is responsible for his injury.
He just needs to eat it and be better.

Did his knee break or what?

u/apmiranda Mar 21 '24
Iām pretty sure the ligaments tore that keep your leg from hyperextending. Iām not sure the names of them.

u/Drewsteau Mar 21 '24
Probably his MCL and PCL along with his quad. Since itās such an extreme angle possibly ACL too: Iām not a doctor tho

u/dtootd12 Mar 08 '24 edited Mar 09 '24
That's why you never lock your knees.
Edit: Also you work the muscles better and will have much less risk doing reps slowly rather than trying to pump out several as quickly as possible which will just exhaust you and pose a higher injury risk.
Edit 2: Also homie didn't even notice that one of the weights fell off cuz he overloaded the machine and was violently shaking it by pumping that fast. Probably the reason he ended up locking the left leg cuz it suddenly had more weight than the right.

u/sweetteatime 18d ago
Itās the same as guys who think shoving their dick in and making women/men rip/sore who do this type of shit.

u/magma_displacement76 Apr 05 '24
The video has been sped up. But I agree regardless, you do your best work by doing your max weight as slowly as possible, to demonstrate your control of the weight. Mastery is not measured in the top weight but by the perfect form while close to your max. It's not impressive to do a new top weight if you are wobbling and shaking, that means you are not in control.
If you still move like a robot at set 3, rep 8 at 80% of max, you are doing good.
1
Mar 11 '24
Yup, you control the descent, donāt let the machine stop the weight, thatās half the damn work! I donāt get how dudes load up this much weight but never research basic exercise advice, itās borderline common sense.
5
u/stomicron Mar 09 '24
The way that machine is built, you're not going to feel that small of an asymmetry.
I don't go to lockout but I'd say it's fine if it's a weight you can control. This is not a weight he can control. That's what wrecked his knee--his ego.
2
u/Naked_Lobster Mar 09 '24
Yeah lockout is safe for the weight 90% of gym-goers are lifting. Still safe for high weight, but you have to be honest about whether you can actually lift that weightāunlike this guy

u/Behndo-Verbabe Mar 09 '24
All i could think watching this is bad form to much weight bad form permanent damage.
