Best of Quads, 2 Minute Leg Press

[Frank_C]

@Frank_C

2 MIN LEG PRESS
3 plates x 87 (50, 10, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 2)

I had to go through my log, @wesley258, but here’s my last attempt. I was doing over 100 with only 180 on the sled.

As @flappinit says, one set is enough.

@Sigil

Have you guys compared with the same approach but using reverse/bulgarian split squat, or lunges, or even front squat? Maye box squat zerhcer squat etc.

Hell, no! The only way I can survive leg press is that I don’t have to support my body. The strain of standing and balancing isn’t something I want to endure while also doing this to my legs.

@flappinit

and as soon as you hit max reps on the single plate and locked the platform back into place, you had to stand up as quickly as possible and walk around.

How do your quads not cramp? I have to sit in the leg press for a bit before I even attempt to move. Any tension in my quads after I lock the sled seems to trigger dual cramping quads. I had to be careful after 3 x 25 with 4 plates per side this week.
