Weight Lifting Exercises for Beginners : Leg Press Workout Weight Lifting Exercise for Beginners

[TraxxasBrothers]

I'm 15 and went to the gym once so far and do 210... is that good? :) Planning to go about 4-5 times a week

[MATT111MARTIN]

great workout to heal knee stiffness and soreness

[Lazzle22]

Don't move your head around, puts a lot of impact at the knee.

[SuperSwaggKiDD1]

Focus on the form not the weight!

[dercookimonsterify]

What is a good weight for beginners on this machine?

[Compantino]

@dercookimonsterify if your a normal guy probably around 70 yo 80 kg

[AAAngus1]

You youngens need to learn one thing. Weight on a leg press machine means nothing. Do it on barbell squats then you might impress someone.

[thenock81]

i can do sets of a billion with infinity weights!!! yea I can, just watch my fake video i haven't posted yet... get a life. no one cares what you lift, just watch and learn something.

[MultiHellojohn]

just for everyone else to know. KNOWBODY CARES HOW MUCH WEIGHT ANY OF YOU CAN LIFT. I REPEAT. KNOWBODY CARES! now lets watch the video.

[ARMYRYAN48]

I heard this machine is useless and does nothing for your legs. Ive used it a few times and felt nothing in my legs only a back ache.

[mikepownzall]

Not to be a dick, but I feel like being a dick and putting a video up of my leg press.

[12doogy]

Make note on my last comment I repped it 3 times. If you want proof I can give it to you.

[12doogy]

I'm 15. I went on the leg press my first time 1 week ago. I did 6 plates with the sled.(each plate was 45lbs) Also, make note that I take powerline which means I climb utility poles daily. For extra info I am 192lb.

[prizerebelman12]

@12doogy uhm thts not tht much bro, 6x45 is 270 thts weak.

[12doogy]

@prizerebelman12 Yea i know. haha. I trippled that amount. Right now I am at about 700lbs max.

[apolos1fan]

@prizerebelman12 word even i can do way higher than that and i am only 14

[playboymaxim]

I want a pair of those Pumas!

[burninfetus88]

i do 325 for 12

[MrEvilpanda69]

I have been taking arginine 5000 and glutamine 5000 about two times a day.

Im 21 years old and i was wondering does these dietary supplements have health risks?

Great video I did not know to keep the feet flat thanks man.

[bigbobabc123]

[boypacer]

i'm 15 years old, i play tennis 2 days a week.. i did this exercise and i went to 195 (max).. it was really fun

[garciaj0509]

[shades2]

[saavedramarcelo]

[bambarby]

[R3ZA]

HAI GUYS IM ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND I LEG PRESS 1500 KG. BUT CAN ONLY SQUAT 14 KG. THATS WHY LEG PRESS SUCKS LOL.

and yes I am trolling.

[HEYmrsprinkles]

[Xsnowxedgex]

[HEYmrsprinkles]

@Xsnowxedgex ok once i upload a vidio of tht then will u belive me.....i leg lift almost every day and im a linebacker and running back so my legs are really strong so yeah shut up

[Xsnowxedgex]

@HEYmrsprinkles Sure upload your video then I'll believe you. Maybe you need some work on your spelling too or are you just mad...... Hurry upload your video!

[HEYmrsprinkles]

[Xsnowxedgex]

[HEYmrsprinkles]

@Xsnowxedgex damn thats alot

[Xsnowxedgex]

@HEYmrsprinkles Thanks it's a good weight for my size and im glad with it for the time being!

[Avonaco76]

There will always be a need for more experienced people to explain the basics to those just getting started. Thank you for this video.

[TheRealDirtyScary]

how is this any different than intermediate or advanced?

[Raylet2]

Hmm, i thought u fully extended your knees, first time at the gym lol, Great tips, thx.

[kb826062871]

[trinity2112]

Spanish Advertisement is such an Insult to us English speaking . were going to be watching an English video and they put a spanish advertisement with it , fucking idiots ! forcing spanish into our daliy lives thats what there trying to do!

[Tenoch1]

get used to it! xD this INTERNET not AMRICA! pendejo!

[PunkMartyr]

I hate expert village but this guy knows his shit

[swamimans]

i have tried this exercise but it seems if your legs are at a more than 90 degrees you dont get full stretch and feel for the weight. i go a little below 90 degrees and i feel i get a better leg workout. true why would you do squats when you can do this and still get good functional strength.

[shandydelarge]

uh, because you don't get good functional strength from it.

[swamimans]

if u lift weights with ur legs that is functional strength

[Avonaco76]

True if you exercise your legs, they will become stronger. Very simple concept.

[sjcdsteve]

cus squats also work your core!

[2007bruno2007]

puma:)

[oJEzUSxpwns]

i have 1 question does this guy take supplements orr is he natural

[bluebuzzardcod4]

does it matter its cool if its natural but if you big your big like me im just big but now im taking protein and it helps a lot

[Grearson]

Folks dont Fokus on the weigth, wer not on a D*** Comparison here. Take a weith that allows you to do the Exercise right and withing your recommended reps.

Oh and Yes Squads are more effectiv, but:

a) They are harder to do, so the press is good for a Beginner

b) you should change your exercises all 4-8 Weeks so your Muscles cannot adapt to easy.

[germanstyla94]

I'm 14yr old and do 250kg 3x15

[OTmoe]

These are pounds not kilos i think. :)

[mabrumbach]

i used to love this exercise, but then and hurt my knees wrestling and now i cant do it... :(

[VNPrince]

Leg Press is for pussy. Do Barbell Squat.

[JCtherocks]

errrr no Leg press is not for pussy its for ur legs

[leonharts]

VNprince is right. Squats are far more effective than leg presses. It's alot harder to... Only pussies do leg presses lol.

[OTmoe]

Well, at leg presses the danger of damaging your knees is not so high.

[ericohara07]

leg press is worse for ur knees, high squats are only bad for ur knees

[OTmoe]

??? so why does this machine exists?

[ericohara07]

im not saying the machine isnt good, but squats are better

[ishldknwbttr]

it is called variation... i agree that squats are the best exercise, but leg press does concentrate and does its job focusing on quads and less torture for your back (if done in the most proper form)... in a whole month, i do squats, leg press, front squat and back to squat with perfect form and highest resistance...try to vary ur workouts or ur muscles won't cooperate...

[bigbobabc123]

@ishldknwbttr yes just don't vary them every fucking week you downer. you should periodize it so when you plateau on one exercise, you move onto the next in 4-8 week cycles then when you get back to the main lift which would be the squat, you should shoudl be much stronger.

[BigDaddyBongos]

I agree. If you have bad knees due to genetics, ie arthritis, why the hell would you go with a riskier exercise?

[ishldknwbttr]

i see most people doing their squats less than quarter of a proper form... that makes them just as pussy...

[mattalessi2112]

you know whats crazy, putting squats and leg press into the same workout along with other leg exercises. Thats called a quad routine.

[Fastblade113]

lol.

[neeneeyo]

My mom finds your routine very helpful,she also thinks this is great for begginers thanks and bring some more exercises.

[jackjackjack92]

i can leg press 1000 kgs easy

[navpreet1000]

nice shoes

[navpreet1000]

i have another question..is is better to do less weight and go as low as possiblie or more weight and doing the range of motion in the video

[navpreet1000]

i said 610x6 i meant my max is 610 i can do 550 about 5 times and i weigh 150

[navpreet1000]

i can do 610 pounds 6 times im 16 years old is tht good or bad?

[Whiteozzy]

That isnt bad, depends how much you weigh, i weigh 220 and can leg press 775 x5, I have not tried more because of my bad knee

[bhmetallicafan]

you all are a bunch of noobs! im 14 and i can do 570 for 10 reps!

[mastermation]

well u probably weigh 200 pounds i do 400 im 130

[bhmetallicafan]

i actually weigh between 135 and 140 lbs.

BUT, ive been going to the gym working out for football every couple of days with my dad and im also using protein powder and creatine for the maximum benefit

[mastermation]

u serious? dude i hit the gym every 3rd day and i stay for 3 hours doin a full body workout but its not benefitting!!! ):

[Caveit77777]

that why. Go everyday for no longer than an hour. 3 hours is way too much

[tylermoore]

Maybe it's your diet your eating just plain shit... Your body requires protein to repair your muscle each and every time ;)

[mastermation]

well...ya i need more protein but my mom is 2 cheap to buy me sum haha and the rest of my diet is good i dnt eat any junk like pop or chips and i get i good amount of fibre

[bhmetallicafan]

well, my dad told me the best way to grow stronger is to work 1 section of your body a day every week.you also have to get lots of protein,nutrition, and Sleep.

I work Chest/back every monday

take a day off tuesday

legs on wednesday

Shoulder/arms on thursday

and on friday i do passing/recieving drills to prepare myself even more for football

[mastermation]

o ya thats what matt hughes from the ufc does i just do full body every 3 days basically same thing i think i need more rest as well

[navpreet1000]

your obviously doing it wrong watch and learn from people

[mastermation]

i know im not doin these wrong these are pretty easy to keep good form i guess i just hav bad genes

[navpreet1000]

why dont you spilt your workout out i think youll get better results

[ishldknwbttr]

3 hrs? major recipe for disaster (overtraining)... if u wanna up ur size and mass (and resistance), u gotta cut down on ur workout time regardless of the number of days u train...

[hitdan]

seriously? How bout 2 and half hours once a week?

[pghrebel]

good stuff

[mojkomp]

silly machine exercises.u wanna get stronger do free weights,engage ur whole body

[dhonjoman]

how wan i make my gluteus maximus bigger like hard muscle?

[RKKIA]

thats nothing 2 i could do more but that was the maz weight on the machine i could of gone all day but i was getting bored

[RKKIA]

45 striaght reps

[RKKIA]

pshh this is easy i can do 420 pounds with 45 reps and im 15 years old

[altoids18ROX]

45 strait reps or like 3 sets of 15?

[ChesterDoraemon]

thats nothing, when I was 13 I leg pressed 720 pounds for 50 reps full range of motion.

[thedawg385]

Whatever age you are now, I guarentee you can't even push 500. Vid or shut the fuck up.

[zippy476]

@thedawg385 I was rep'ing over 500 when I was 16, its not unthinkable. I always had a natural big and strong lower body. Now I was only benching about 150 and could only curl 40 so.....I haven't lifted since so I have no clue what I as a 24 year old man can do.

[mojkomp]

alright hero post a video

[tylermoore]

Dude people do not lie because honestly I've worked out for a while and I still can't get 200... My weight room teacher about 25 VERY Strong benchs like 300LBS can do 450LB about 20 reps to think you can do 45reps is BS or even to get the weight up BS!!! If you think your so strong post videos dumb ass.

[Caveit77777]

i know freshman at my school who do 405.

[ttmkilla]

@tylermoore dude i can do a 530 lbs and do 3 reps of 15

[burninfetus88]

@ttmkilla you mean sets of 15?

[burninfetus88]

@tylermoore i did 1 rep for 400 once and it was hard as shit. 450 is mad impressive

[rendalstimpy]

Alfrunk yea im kinda new im 14 and im legpressin 220 lbs and ive been doin it for like a month which is pretty bad just keep workin on it and ull get better

[HEYmrsprinkles]

@rendalstimpy i am 13 and i do 450:) lllololololol

[idricool]

I'd say 80lbs if you have strong legs, like if you run a lot.

[HEYmrsprinkles]

@idricool im 13 and i do 450 and 10 reps 80s nothing

[Alfrunk]

how many sets and how much weight for a worthless beginner endomorph like me?

[GetenGeten]

Skip leg presses, son. Do squats instead.

[vincentrich]

Alfrunk-

It depends on what other exercises you're going to do. I would say no more than 2 sets (not including a brief warm up set) for each exercise. For leg presses, 8-12 reps is a good range for you. Use whatever weight you need to do 8-12 reps with good form.

[PlagueAngel77]

do squat.

[gothseph]

your videos are really informative for me as a beginner! thanks man!

[carryon01]

Thanks for posting this. The guy explains the process in a simple step-like approach, which is great for beginners, like myself. Cheers!

[ATOM09]

Thank you "sewaras" i'll give it a go.

[ATOM09]

HELP! I do leg presses three days a week and I am getting stronger and stronger, Yah! however, my legs are still the same size, what's up with that? Can you help me out here.
