May 25, 2011 8:48 AM: There is a small discrepancy between the video and text descriptions of the exercise. The video suggests returning to the starting position by pushing mainly with the heels. The text description says to use the ball of the feet. Which is correct? There is a small discrepancy between the video and text descriptions of the exercise.

Leg press has less range of motion being performed especially for the hip flexors and the glutes (your quads are never parallel to your torso) Most people can leg press 3-4 times as much weight as they can full squat due in part to the weight being pressed on a 45-60* angle to gravity which means actual resiatance is only 45-60% of loaded weight. Couple that with a reduced range of motion and you have a very easy exercise to perform with heavy weight. -See Less

Mar 15, 2011 4:11 AM: the main reason i dislike this exercise is that way too many people use atleast 10-30% range of motion which from a small distance looks like calve raises. however, it's generally more safe than the squat esp. on your spine since you don't have a large weight on your shoulders; and there's less pressure...+See More the main reason i dislike this exercise is that way too many people use atleast 10-30% range of motion which from a small distance looks like calve raises. however, it's generally more safe than the squat esp. on your spine since you don't have a large weight on your shoulders; and there's less pressure on legs since you're not using bodyweight (main reason many people can leg press more than squat)-See Less

Mar 3, 2010 2:49 PM: I do 15-20 slow reps, then raise up to ball of one foot and do partials with one leg at a time. I alternate back and fourth between legs until my reps drop down to 1 or 2. I then do a static hold with each leg and finish with some partials using both legs. High intensity and great pump!
