Is legpress the best compound leg exercise if you don't want to snap your spine?
>>
>>76765102
You still can if you let your lower back bend in the stretch position. So don't do that.

Or just not a dyel? Eventually you will lift weights heavy enough to make your back feel like glass in comparison. Just a matter of when
>>
>>76765117
There's no risk in any compound movements unless you're
1 on steroids
2 geriatric (+30) and never stretch or warmup
3 a complete mongoloid
I think most of /fit/ checks the two last boxes
>>
>>76765139
>There's no risk in any compound movements
No one who got a herniated disc pressing on a nerve and fucking their leg up thought they were lifting in a way that was going to do that. Good luck.
>>

Stop being 40 and retarded for starters

There're daily threads here about DL/Squat injuries and they've been posted for years.
All it takes is one mistake in form to suffer permanent damage
>>
>>76765155
This place is spergville, i dont think autists have enough coordination for your sample "threads every day about lower back injuries", especially not geriatric autists considering all the "+30 still got it even doe i just acked my back being a retard" also
>>
>>76765159
From what I saw lots of people here got perma-injured during warmups because you're more relaxed and less focused during them and when form breaks even low weights can snap you.
>>
>>76765112
I snapped my shit at 28/29 doing squats. 15 years of lifting doing squats and DLs will do it to anyone.
>>
>Implying anyone here lifts at any capacity
>>
>>76765139
I would literally warm up and stretch for 20 minutes prior to any leg day. Herniated a disc on empty barbell warmup.

Tends to be something that builds up over years then suddenly happens.

It can easily fuck up your lower back if you have big glutes. Learnt it the hard way.

Western culture is the most destructive thing on the planet. If you want a trad wife that isn't a social deviant freak you have to stay in thirdie countries. Hence why I moved to northern Pakistan

And bugchasers still think that asian women aren't as massive whores as the others. Also digits and OP will be guillotined by an legpress.
>>
>>76765522
double digits!
>>
>>76765396
I know lmao. Still thank god I only had to return the bar before lying down.

For a couple of years I'd had tingling in my legs/feet after squats/DLs but I somewhat put that down as pins and needles of no concern. That warmup must have just been the final tiny hit.

Ima keep it real. If you were gay, these parties would be a BLAST. Hell, you dont even have to be gay. You know how easy it would be to get laid?! My gosh, they really have it good. Hes a crisp and clean and fresh and fit, wow. You know that party was lit!

>>76765112
I'm pretty sure a ton of posts are from twitter to make screencaps asking obvious questions, this one is just to do atg/strict often enough before going into heavy 1rms. Idk why anyone would even max out squats or go close to failure, you could deadlift if you wanna hit legs/back to failure but no it just has to be back squats.

How to fail back squats if not doing dl/front squats:
>jump under bar after ditching it
>set safeties high enough so you don't land on your knees
>fall under the bar forwards and use bigger bumper pl8s
I've been using the gym for decades and never was dumb enough to squat to failure, had a grinder or 2 but to bulletproof your back just do narrow stance wide grip dls. I don't even do mixed grip anymore since I don't want scoliosis. But basically your spine has tendons/muscles deep, same with ribcage so you need to be doing the aux movements for legs and it's just as important for upper body but you'll just tear a shoulder rather than slip a disc going heavy.

Endocrine response
You need muscular and hormonal stimulation to maximize natty gains
Literally doing the hardest stuff in the gym yields you the most gains
>>
>>76765102
nah way easier to get back impingement and pain with leg press then squat. A lifter is much more braced in a squat then a leg press also utilizing more muscle to fall back on if muscles fatigue like quads you still have ass hips and lower back working in unison to protect the spine.
>>
>>76765102
Hahahahahaha imagine filming yourself while you lift like this and posting it on social media. What a different life she is living. Imagine filming all your fuck faces and heaving breaths and stitching them together on your fucking computer to post online.

People start being visibly scared of you once you start repping squats with 4+ plates. Nobody will ever give a shit how many plates you leg press.

Leg press fixed my hip/glute tendonosis. I did all these gay isometrics and foam rolling for months to still have some pain. But loading heavy single-leg leg press did wonders for my tendon and healed me almost instantly.

PISTOL SQUATS defeat leg press.
>>
>>76767830
>PISTOL SQUATS defeat leg press.
and lunges and BSS and highbar lowbar and frontsquat and hacksquat and hip thrusts and reverse hyper and deadlifts, even bent over rows
>>76767767
>>>76767704

it all results in complete fucking disaster:
lack of calves, internal hip rotation, blobous whamanly thighs and seemingly fat arse, posterior pelvic tilt , flattened lordosis, bad posture and pathological breathing
>>76767704
>the only part of quad u want to hypertrophy is in unilateral quarter-squat with full internal hip rotation engaged entire time - hold onto sth and rotate pelvis onto leg u are standing on, keep rotating in as u bend knee, switch legs, 2 to 3 sets of isometric hold of that, that's IT THAT'S YOUR ENTIRE QUAD WORKOUT xD
>it grows knee parts of quad and most importantly VMO that u will NOT get from squats
>>but roider X has VMO
>does he? is it comparatively bigger than rest of his blobous thigh? is it gently folding with straight knee when relaxed over knee joint? no? oh, ok i thought so :D

technically u need also abs:

>2:
>take a pillow and shove it beneath your lumbar spine as u lay flat on the floor - it should be slightly uncomfortable that's how much padding u need
>crunch - that's it, providing leverage point above psoas origin isolates abs from iliopsoas and switches the latter off - legs are completely soft
>did it yesterday and i feel it mostly in lower abs, interestingly while i was doing it i felt it mostly in upper abs :D

Indian post of the week.

>>76766087
It's a good lift if you're built for it. If you got long femurs though leg press, hack squats, and split squats are better.

Bunch of young dudes looking for the path of least resistance. Squatting is hard and they come up with any excuse not to do it. They're also probably gay as well.
>>
>>76765102
Lol people fuck up their back and ribs all the time on leg press
>>
>>76765102
Training your spinal erectors with squats and deadlifts is good for your back and will make you feel better. You don't want to not train your lower back because you are worried about getting injured. You want to train it properly so that you don't get injured.
