leg press....

[Thompson]

I have a quick question, when doing a leg press is it nessecary to bring the knees all the way back to your chest, or only bring them back to 90 deg? any advantages/disadvantages?

full range of motion!!! just like squats go as deep as you can...if you cant get that deep take some weight off and work on it...

The deeper you go, the better. Same with squats, and every other exercise I know of.

Partial reps are good, but shouldnt replace real reps.

You should watch the video of tom platz, squatting 495 23 times. He's slamming his ass all the way to his heals every time he goes down.

Awww crap, the video is down, now.

PM me if you want to see the full video, I've got it on my hard drive, and I could probably email it to you.
