Weight Lifting Exercises for Beginners : Leg Curls Weight Lifting Exercise for Beginners

[JonnyMW3]

Can this stunt my growth?? (14 btw)

[CaRnyVaL259]

@JonnyMW3 no, that's a total MYTH, read it again: it is a MYTH. There are no studies showing that weight lifting stunts growth but there are studies that show weight lifting stimulates growth. Just think about it, you train your muscles so them grow, to grow in height your muscles need to grow too right? plus weight lifting makes your bones stronger . Most people think 14 is a great age to start weight lifting I'd go with 15.

hey plz tell me that when i train my legs at the same time can i workout my any upper body part on the same day ?? n plzz also tell me that for legs workout i do LEG EXTENSION, LEG PRESS , SMITH MACHINE SQUATS , & LEG CURLS...plz guide me that how to do proper exercise in Sequence that what exercise do i first n after that soo on....among these exercise i mention above plz reply :) ?

[coursol08]

@ThePathan12345

My advice, dont do leg extensions, leg press nor the smith machine squats because they dont work all your legs and the smith machine isnt really good. Youre better off starting with squats with a barbell, stiff-legged deadlifts, lunges and leg curls. All those 4 exercices in that very same order.

And yes you can workout your upper body on the same day you work out your legs, I think you should train your shoulders since they dont need much focus...

[ballickmoyler]

gyms are so boreing.

[DrScandalous]

True that... I witnessed a man in my gym ask the guys at reception how to use one of the machines properly. The guy just said to him, "you payed for the membership.. you should know how it all works."

Wish there were more people like this guy in gyms willing to help out.

[visionimagify]

@DrScandalous Sounds like a bad trainer, lol. Lazy too.

[RapRnB4u]

How many sets?

[megatroll]

Thank you so much.

You're a great guy.

In my gym there isn't even anyone who could show you how to use stuff properly. :P

[redalf]

[TheRealDirtyScary]

hamstrings and glutes

[6F5jedi]

great tutorial. i have a question, what equipment or how can i train my forearm?

[Luggerful]

Use dumbbells for your presses instead of a bar. Besides bouldering (a form of rock climbing) this has given me the best results.

[christopher12344321]

Thanks for the info! I managed to get a different teacher that knows his stuff. The teacher that I had is some weird old fat dude, it shows that he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Thanks,

-Chris

[andtalie]

will this exercise make you run faster i really need to know thanks!

[vivalageorge5]

yes

[BangBangLeetSkeet]

@andtalie Yes. I never, ever work out and I just do this exercise for 45min straight in gym class and my running performance has increased. Unless its just a mental thought in my head.

[christopher12344321]

Mk: serious question, not showing off. I'm 15 and my school requires us to improve various amounts on various exercises, and one of them is the seated leg curl. I am required to improve by 50lbs one rep max on it, which I did, so thats not a problem. I can however do 225lbs 4x15 workout weight, but it feels like my knees are going to explode; and I'm not sure whats wrong... can I have some helpful suggestions please? Am I too young? Joints not fully developed? Too much weight?

Thanks,

-Chris

[christopher12344321]

Why? I'm providing the info that I can to assist in "debugging" what the problem is. So tell me, why am I a pussy? You probably struggle to move your fat ass out of the chair to puke because you are too many potato chips! 0.o

[bassplayer10000]

You should never do any strength training exercise "fast". Doing it fast adds momentum to the exercise, thus allowing you to cheat. If you take your time with each rep (3 secs on the way up, 1 sec pause, 3 on the way down), you will see much better results as momentum will be taken out of the equation and your specific muscle will be doing the actual work.

[ImAussieMate]

these are great for the hammies i dont know what else is , i do all the weight on the mechine for this exersice, only goes up to 300 ibs so im just improving my reps. any help would be great :)

[johnthefourthiv]

Try doing just one leg.

[zerk666]

thanks for posting

[ATOM09]

That's cool but how many sets should I do? I see an improvement but know it's too easy. My gym teacher said 15minutes was enough for leg workout, is that true?

[Predetermind]

wow fag, i dont think he's interested

[it52]

Thanks for the demo. Very helpful.

[bumpinvibe17]

word

[tomsega]

Most painful thing in the gym by a mile! I leg press 250lbs, leg extension 200, and leg curl only about 120!!

[mrchacko]

Yeah I hate doing legs too.

[cameronclgn3]

dude hes not trying its a how to vid dip

[alextgmnj]

fixed range this, range of motion that! he is showing idiots like you the proper position you have to be in to get an effective workout and not tear a tendon or pull a muscle.

[Ofenbewis]

Actually, in some ways, machines are more advanced than freeweights because they offer a false sense of security. If you don't adjust the pads, or use an incorrect weight, then I guarantee that any routine incorporating such an action will eventually hurt you.

[skaterdylan101]

thats why i prefer free weights
