Sled has a sticker saying it weighs 118 lbs. Eleven 45 lb plates on each side

I don't get the guys that load the sled up for a 3" range of motion. Not saying you but that annoys me. When I do leg press I bring my knees even with my chest let three momentum stop then push up to just before a straight leg

^ This 1000%.  You don't have to touch your knees to your chest, but at least control the weight up and down.  There are also those people that drop it fast and use the "bounce" to help push it back up.  Heavy weight doesn't get you gains.  Just max your muscles out with proper form.  Not saying you're doing the above, but since toldozer hit on the subject, thought I would vent.

I rarely do the leg press. I'd rather squat and do lounges. In fact it's leg day today

If I tried to bounce that particular sled, my femur would be in my throat. I take it down as far as I can (my knees are maybe a few inches from my chest... well past my hips). I do more than a 3" range of motion with a toe raise.

 

I agree leg press isn't really an important exercise. I hate lunges with a passion. I do them, but without any sort of enjoyment.

Leg presses are extra hard on my low back... I definitely prefer squats.

I have seen the guys that load it up, put their hands on their knees and move it about 1/4 rep... Not really sure what that's accomplishing?

Of course I've seen guys do the same thing on squat, bench and literally every other exercise as well so...

I've always considered squats to be more of a total body lift, or even a core exercise, than a leg lift. When I think "leg day," squats usually aren't on my agenda. With squats, yes you're mostly using quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, but you're working a whole lot of other muscles as well. If you do low squats, you work a whole lot of your trunk.

 

The leg press is better for isolating your quads and is typically seen as superior than squats for quad development. Just depends on your personal goals. For whatever reason, I started doing leg press/curls/extensions and toe raises on the days I do incline and dumbbell flies.

 

Not gonna lie...did 6 reps at 1108 and had to push my legs with my hands on the last two.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
