  • scott you rock man.

  • 1:38

    good times when videos had the star system, not the fucked up, shitty, asshole, facebook-wannabe thumb-up system...

  • this guy is an inspiration to me! i want to be as toned as him so i can walk in to my gym with no shirt!

  • What is wrong with all you people insulting this guy?

  • Yummy! Thanks !

  • Can I get some advice here please? I had a real bad knee injury years ago, have attempted to squat, I can do it but it's not comfortable. Find this exercise a good replacement, but can't go heavy! Literally 40Kgs each side is my limit, not because of strength more comfort. I've been doing 30-40 reps x 4 sets for a few weeks, will it make a difference to leg size, or will that only come with real heavy presses? Hate the thought of not doing legs and being an 'upper body guy'!

  • @oman0115 go watch mike o'hearns powerbodybuilding leg workout for proper form on squat it will work for you

  • thanks scott

  • why is his shirt off?

  • how come your not massive ??

  • @teddybear1829 he doesnt take steroids thats why

  • @teddybear1829 because he eats like a bitch and trains like a bitch any videos on here are worthless

  • @fuckoffno then why are you watching them?

  • @fuckoffno Your funny. You say he trains like a bitch when all of these video's are instructional. He can shoulder shrug 4 plates for reps. I don't think that makes him a bitch. Along with the other shit he can do.

  • @Singetally lol 4 plates is nothing and he does it with horrible form because he wants the 'reps' and his shoulders are out of proportion to his retard chest go look at zyzz you ball licking stupid cunt :L

  • @fuckoffno Zyzz did steroids (Omg start flipping out!!!) and he honestly acted like a douche a lot of the time. He was a really arrogant guy. rip...but what do you mean watch zyzz, he doesn't have instructional video's....

  • @Singetally lets be honest we all know he didnt do steroids he just mastered CYCLES and ate perfectly and you dont see instructional videos just watch the guy with the best shape in your gym do it, if it looks like hes doing it wrong then there you go dont do that but why you'd be using this machine is mindblowing as its absoloutely useless Learn proper squat technique bro

  • @fuckoffno actually he did do steroids and he openly admitted it a lot of times and he also openly gave advice on steroids on forums a lot

  • @teddybear1829 He trains to look good as a model not as a body builder. He is healthier than all of those huge guys that shoot up. I no for sure Scot would walk all over them in endurance, cardio, and athleticism. Not to mention his heart is most likely stronger.

  • There doesn't seem to be anyone else  from scotthermanfitness . com, yet our man still introduces himself the same way. In a way, it takes his ego out of things, makes him part of his company and not the face of it

  • why no TTSSSCHHHHH TSSCCCHHHH in this

  • I can leg press 300+lbs. Source: Witnesses at LA. I'm stronger then I look.

  • @SpartanForgeWorld300 430 here 8D

  • Good form is essential. Thanks Scott!

  • why does he always talk like a dick

  • can u go deeper than 90 degrees?

  • Jesus put a towel down, No one wants backsweat

  • lol abs on skinny dudes are like big tits on fat chics they dont count!

    put a shirt on!

  • @monfuckinstrosity Seriously? Jealous much?

    Or is it just because he's not a 280lb powerlifter with absoloutly NO muscle tone/definition?

  • @monfuckinstrosity Just you stick to your drugs mate...

  • Comment removed

  • @monfuckinstrosity You call this guy skinny? pahh bull shit... he might not be the biggest guy in the world but hes strong as fuck anyway.. you dont have to be a hulk to lift much tbh... maybe you are one of those fat chicks and just are jealous? just quit it <.<

  • Comment removed

  • i did this and farted

  • dude put a fuckin short on

  • @thehobohitman he is wearing shorts :p learn to spell

  • working out shirtless is a great way to attract men

  • my friend does the "one leg press" for this machine for the calf muscles, he places half the sole on the machine, presses with the toes, and back with the sole on it. Does that hurt your knees?

  • @M4tsu0

    Nah it is ok, it's a usual way to work out the calfs since you can often load it with more weight+it's usually more comfortable then most calfmachines

  • @ScottHermanFitness How many reps + sets should you do on this machine?

  • @HU55UN1 I learned that for legs you should aim for 15 - 25 reps upper body 6 - 12 legs are the biggest muscle in your body.

  • @wheredah0odat Higher reps is unnecessary for training the bigger muscles in your legs. When doing squats, leg curls and leg press you should be in the 5-10 rep range, depending on your goal.

    However when doing calfraises you should aim for at least 10+ reps per set with a HEAVY weight.

  • @kripposoft thank you for your advice I will try this out :)

  • @kripposoft wrong wrong wrong. you should train all rep ranges for you bigger muscles in your legs. doing 6 reps every set every workout is only going to get you so far. include 20 reps squat every now and then and watch your legs grow.

  • "You should set it to a weight you can do" No shit.

  • Have you ever tought how much you left swet and your own germs on those expensive devices because of not wearing a shirt. And how much you can get from that? It goes either way. At least use a towel...

  • if you have shit to say,don't say it at all,scotts just showing people how to do some excercises,so chill people.......

  • Comment removed

  • I'd work out shirtless if there was no one else in the gym.

  • does leg press do same as a squat?

  • another thing, training without a tshirt on using the equipment is not hygienic. this person here is nothing but a showoff i hope he wiped down the machines after he used them

  • This type of leg press machine is not manlet friendly hence why i must resort to light wieght squats after deadlifting as if my lower back wasnt stressed enough. might aswell stick to the leg extensions

  • this guys an idiot

  • @TheNewAlias

    the only idiot i can see is you

  • "5 stars for great tips"

  • hey scott how many days per week you do legs ? because i do it just one day at Tuesday

  • dont listen to him. 3 does not work for everybody. if you have long legs you will have to go further back

  • someone should buy him a tshirt

  • @mufcboy1999 And a new pair of shorts

  • @mufcboy1999 someone should buy you a new mouth

  • Respond to this video... well you can also see which muscles are being worked with a tshirt off - plus he's getting all the female viewers this way lol , its a nice marketing ploy - same reason all the twi hards watch Twilight - cuz of that Jake werewolf

  • GIRL MACHINE !!!!

  • @roberto347 Lol, are you kidding!?!?! The leg press is brutal!

  • @roberto347 That goes up to 300lbs +....

  • @roberto347 idd

  • if you adjust the seat back so your laying down more you'll work your glutes. right now hes workin the lower portion of his quads and some hams on the way back down.

  • lol i have that machine, its good but they need to put more weight into it, i already maxed it out in a week :S

  • Thanks for this video! I'm trying to add more compound exercises to my workout, though I've found that I can't do squats (injured knee). I'll be trying this machine for the first time tomorrow. Thanks for the tips on how to do this correctly.

  • You do the best how-to's.. you cover everything.. it turned out I wasn't doing it right.. I used to put my feet to low..

  • best leg press how to

  • squats do a way better job.

  • @23RAIDa but if you got some problem at your back you cannot do squat ...

  • Hey Scott, what Nike shoes are you wearing in this video? Thanks

  • did you use any extra proteins or other supplies or just working out...??? ....thanks...

  • I get stinging pain in my left knee during the negative part of a rep. It goes away immediately when I quit doing the set.

    My form should be good. Any ideas?

  • @Agonar81 Try to stretch your legs more before you workout. That might be the problem. Is it in your knee cap that the stinging is occuring?If so you might be locking you legs during the workout which eventually cause injury. Never lock during any workout. If none of these are the problem causers then you should go to your docter.

  • @iHubble reccommending stretching for preventing injuries just shows what a jerk you are. There is no evidence that stretching will help you, prevent pain or injuries. It might help, and then again it might not, it might also be wors for your muscles to stretch, noone knows since their are no studies.

  • my bro is fourteen, 205lbs, and did 3 sets of twelve on 400... ah yea

  • @Waddug Fat bro.

  • I want massive legs how many should I do 3 sets of 12?

  • @milzeh depends on what you can do. I do mine on 400lbs. I started around 135 when i first started.

  • @digitalwatcher a no no

  • To improve the burn a little more, try to get the weights as close to possible to the other weights, but don't let them touch. This causes you to go slower and work harder.

  • Although I do wonder why he's shirtless...It somehow enhances my viewing pleasure....instruct me some more Scotty!

  • hi! come to see my vídeo if it is correctly done!

  • spot on with explaining how to do this exercise and same goes for the squat on what u said about making sure u dont let ur knees go by ur toes and that u do not lock ur knees out when extending ur leg.not only does it increase the chance of injury but u take the tension away and u therefore defeat the purpose of the exercise, u wanna work the muscle, down my gym i c people doing it all wrong and dont have clue, they constanly have there feet wrong, knees over toes and jerk out the movement!

  • I cant give you 5stars, silly scott

  • The leg press is a great exercise but my favorite leg exercise is the squat. I think it's my favorite exercise period. I like all the variations of the squat. The squat also fixed my lower back problem which was a surprise.

  • finally, someone that correctly demonstrates a leg press. 

  • squats RULE...but only if you don´t have back and/or knee problems (like me!)...so the leg press is the next best thing...as to the correct way to use the machine: i´ve heard millions of variations from all the so-called knowalls one meets in the various gyms around the world....for me, it´s simple: if there´s no pump, or there´s pain, then i´m doing it wrongly

  • @TheOlddog49

    Yeah there are many guru nuts that says there's one way, but there are indeed many ways. It all depends on how much quads, glutes and/ or hamstrings you wanna train with it. Just like mana guru nuts say you should not go too deep with squads while many natural weight lifters have been doing deep squads for years and never had any joint problems. In the end thought, we can all agree, the leg press is an excellent exersize!

  • The leg press - probably the worse exercise in the world. Non-functional, supported, machine-based exercise. Also, who says that having the knees go over the feet is bad? Have you even seen an Olympic lifter perform a snatch?? The next time you go up a flight of stairs, check your knee position compared with your feet. You will see knees over toes. No offense, but your legs are damn skinny and weak looking. You need to squat buddy! Forget the leg press, leg extensions, etc. SQUAT!!

  • @bsumiko

    Dude Im glad you are a supporter of the GOD of all exercises (the squat) as i myself am,

    but come on dont say leg press, leg curls and extensions are bad. They are alll very important for developing well SHAPED quads and hams. leg press lets you push heavier weights then you could with a Free weight squat, and the isolation exercises are good for detailing.

    Peace and happy squatting

  • Guys it's not bad to work out at 15!!! I'm 15 and I work out and I'm not getting hurt?!?! I do this leg press at 405lbs and I'm 6'1 135lbs

  • @947r1ck you are skinny as shit

  • Jeez dude, you clearly don't work out your quads/hamstrings/calves very often, they look disproportionately smaller than the upper body. My advice, instead of concentrating so much on chest and arms, try doing some damn legs.

  • Awesome!

  • It is incorrect to say that this machine/exercise works the hamstrings, cause it does not. Yes, the hamstrings contract as you extend the hips but they lengthen as you extend the knees, so since you do both in this exercise at the same time, they cancel eachother out and the hamstrings remain pretty much inactive, although under tension.

  • my fitness center has cybes too. its very good

  • go buy a tshirt

  • are these leg press machine the same thing as doing squat? I'm just scare to do squat.

  • @bambarby yep

  • How far betweem 2 feet?

     Should we push off not knee pointing inside??

  • Many people say that if you full extent you legs it can cause damage, I don't think it's true

  • Sound advice... thanks!

  • y'all. i heard if i take off my shirt when i lift weights i will lift 300% more on all my lifts. can someone please confirm/deny this statement. thank you.

  • @SteveSCENE33 The shirtless method only works with a pair of short shorts.

  • @SteveSCENE33 Hahahahaha, genious

  • @SteveSCENE33 True

  • @SteveSCENE33 Based on that comment, you'd take work out tips from anyone no matter of their physical appearance?

    They wear minimal clothing so you can see with your own eyes what they're telling you worked for them.

  • @SteveSCENE33 true

  • @SteveSCENE33 Confirmed.

  • @SteveSCENE33 There's actually a TINY bit of truth in this. Generally, if you take off your shirt for any workout I think it will increase your intensity, especially if you're one to get turned on by looking at yourself working out. Pretty much irregardless, it will make you more aggressive due to the increased flow of testosterone, as I would think that since being shirtless would make you feel more manly, and in turn, providing your body with more testosterone.It all sounds silly but it's true

  • I have that leg press machine at my gym... It's annoying because, when performing the full range of motion, my butt raises off the platform unless if I grip my hands firmly on the arm support, which wears me out faster. Not a well thought out machine. I prefer the seated leg press descending from a lower angle.

  • @SteveSCENE33 yes, it's because u feel mad when some young girls laugh from ur boobies and angy as u know is POWER!

  • @SteveSCENE33 the only reason this guy is shirtless in all his vids, is because he would look like an average joe in a t-shirt lol

  • @lowdagaramhai He does look like an avergae joe. He actually looks completely average.

  • @lowdagaramhai now he looks like a shirtless average joe.

  • Hey Scott.. <- Mike here.. uhm,.. im 15 years old.. im taking Creatine, BSN 'Syntha-6'... ZMA before bed, Multi vitamin, L- Glutamine.. and i'm Doing Biceps Back... triceps chest... legs... abs.. week split.. and im wondering if i should buy a weight gainer? or antyhing..

    i weigh 125 and i bench 135, squat 185, deadlift 185, and i want to be a pro bodybuilder some day.. any reccomendations?

  • omg at 15 you shouldnt even lift weights and eat so much crap. go climb in trees or stuff

  • @jordanlarson yeh work your shoulders :D

  • @jordanlarson dude u dont and shouldntbe putting all that shit into ur body at 15! exercise is good at all ages but for you just eat well no supplements maybe a protein shake and a good multi but thats it. at your age your body hormones are wayyyyy wayyyy more powerful than any man made supplement out there so take advantage of that. :)

  • @jordanlarson I say disregard everyone else, if you want to do it do it!! according to your body type its depending, you seem like an ectomorph right off the back so I'd say go with a gainer but the most important part is your diet, fix your diet and tighten it up and then everything else is accessory

  • Hey thanks...

  • Hi Scott ..Thanks for showing the proper way to do this type of leg press,, I would like to have a question regarding this exercise ...Would this exercise put lot of pressure on the lumbar spine ? Since i had lumbar disc surgery , i don't wanna do the 45 degree leg press anymore, but still wanna work on my lower body..Thanks

  • Hi, during our athletic PE class a guy was using a different version of this machine. It allows you lift a lot of weight. The guy put 800 pounds (I am not exaggerating.) But he was locking his knees. Is this really bad for you? I was debating weather to tell him or not because there was a whole group of guys there cheering him on. Should I tell him its bad to lock your knees or leave him be? Because I know its way easier to lift more if you lock your knees. thanks! :D

  • good video though.

    one question, at the gym on my lower body days i use machines for my legs instead of free weight squats and deadlifts and thats because of ankle and knee injuries. do machines build muscle mass in your legs is what i'm asking really?

    thanks.

  • Oh and I love this machine, huge fan of leg press machines.

  • How long were you at the gym filming all the parts?

  • yay - this is one of the few machines i actually use (mainly do cardio)

    question though: at my gym the seat is always almost straight up, not at an angle like yours. Never seen it in any other position so i dont know if it can move, why is that? is it a problem?

  • lol at 1:40 you rubbing your self :)

  • Hrmm grungy old gyms: I think UT Austin qualifies in that department for old gym equipment :) I'll have a look around. I'd think I wouldn't be able to reach my potential just by putting plates on my feet.

  • Hey Scott, I was wondering if there are any machines that work the Tibialis Anterior (front shin). There're machines for the calves, but not for this muscle that I've seen.

  • I had no idea I was using the machine wrong! I would always lock my knees. Thanks for showing this vid!!! :D

  • thnxs wen i did go 2 the gym 4 sum reason i was always scared 2 use this machine.lol

  • if u say so , i will..thx alot

  • hahaha yay! cant wait! ;)

  • ahh, the band is red, so now I knew it ;)) *haha* Well, mine is purple, but for mine I need a bigger size, because of my big trained thighs :-)

  • this exercise is mainly for the quads and glutes, right? and by opening ur feet and closing them on the pad ,u either concentrate on the quads or glutes, is there such thing scott?, coz im not sure about that..

  • i have been doing chest exercises and i want to know the best ones to close space between my pecs.

    the help would be greatly appreciated

  • This is great man! Thanks for the tips, very useful.

  • *sigh* ur GORGEOUS

    haha the red underwears def a nice new touch lol ;)

    hopefully ill have something close ur bodd someday... =/

  • what if you have a big stomach and your kness keep hitting it?

  • Your bum inspires me. x

  • Watching you work your legs and the movement of your body reminds me of something that also requires a lot of stamina*lol*.

  • as always good Scott ;) what should I say ? :D *haha*

    Well..... good thighs... ahh I said that in some videos before, then.... nice.... red underwear ;))

  • hey wheres the spandex!?

  • Fve stars for a great personality

  • do stuff for biceps :DD

  • lol anytime ;)

  • thanx 4 another helpful vid bro

  • Another great video by Scott, natural body builder. Been getting youtube 'recommendations' where these body builders have bloated abdominals (it's kinda gross looking). I got an idea what does that I think...but I'll hold judgment.

  • You're so good at teaching us how to not kill ourselves at the gym LOL! You'd definitely be great at teaching a fitness class at your old high school. You seem like a pretty damn good role model,so I hope it all works out!: )

  • another great vid!

  • that is my favirote and so is the arm pullover

  • I hate using this machine at my gym. The range of motion is so limited that it does absolutely nothing for me. The 45 degree leg press is much better.

    By the way, Scott, will you make videos on how to do free weight exercises.

  • Does the distance between your legs matter? (As in, the farther apart they are, the more they'll work your inner thighs and if they are together they will work your gluts?)

  • change your shorts *.*

  • my favorite machine :).. im glad you posted this thanks for another great vid scott.

  • My trainer had me use a similar machine. The only difference I noticed is that the seat is on rails and moves back, while the footrest remains in place. Are these machines the same, just a different style?

  • Red Underwear! :P

    Haha

  • the add for this vid made no sense, dog food?

    like this is a workout video XD

  • lol your voice sounds so cute at 1:34

  • hahah ikrrrr

  • aww we can see you red undies...

    gotta love that 90 degree angle

  • YEA SCOTT

  • yay

  • sexy scott! xD

  • three

  • cools

  • good exercise's
