@charlesjohnson873Ай бұрын
@@lawrencebywater2112 the only thing I might be able to point out is if you have a dip belt you can use that for "belt squats", looping a dumbbell through or a plate if you can find somewhere elevated enough to squat. It's certainly not the same, and I'm not the biggest fan but it does ok as either a pre-fatigue or post workout method.

Hi , I've been taking creatine for 4 months . I've put on just over and inch on my squads in take time . My calves have grown as well . My legs have really grown from using creatine and leg exercises . I'm nearly 60 years old . Creatine really is a great supplement and I have enjoyed how I feel . My muscles in my legs are just solid when I squeeze my leg muscles . It feel great . 👍

With you explaining more why you lean forward on the seated hamstring machine I will not try this on my next workout. I will probably have to lower the weight but if I can get the max stretch and work myself harder it will be worth it. I pick you list, Eric, because my gym does not have the belt machine. lol.

I prefer Eric's recommendations simply because almost any gym will have an incline leg press machine and it's a very effective all around leg exercise you can safely push to failure.

I just wish they would have angled platforms on leg presses. Most people dont have the dorsiflexion to really get as low as they could and without a gym partner to throw 1 inch wedges or platform under your feet, your ankles limit ypu knee flexion more than anything

Been following these from Dr Mike and Eric for 6 weeks and made some serious adjustments to my technique with excellent results all round. On the leg press I have noticed great results. Question - I have serious knee challenges with the left patellar tendon being re-attached and the right quad with some tearing and scarring (both as a result of a squat incident in 2019). Keen to try the lunge/split squat. Should I wrap or brace or just stay away and leg press some more? Knees feel a bit tender even after just body-weight hams-to-calf squats.

I was highly surprised to see that someone as huge as he is using similar techniques. Of course, both would get the job done. The bottom line is advance lifters should go with Mike's and beginners should stick with Janicki's imo
