    this soja…whatever person does not know what they are talking about. I just talked to my anatomy and physiology teacher and he said that muscle tone is based on low body fat. they also said that that being “bulky” allows striations of the muscle to be more visible even if bodyfat percentage is over 10%. so you know what youre talking about mrsunseeker

    Stacked with 45’s? Well it depends on the model – the life fitness model at my gym has two posts on each side, most other models only have one. So on a newer machine you can load 6 discs on each post, so 24 to a machine will give you just over a 1000 lbs but you need to look at the model to see.

  3. what is the maximum …
    what is the maximum capacity of a leg press machine (generally) ?

  4. lol…. “ow weight …
    lol…. “ow weight high rep burns more fat than low rep high weight” uh no…. INTENSITY burns fat, and builds muscle, and you can acquire intensity by training smart, whether it is low rep high weight, or mod weight high reps. intensity is all about time under strain and the workload the muscle is performaning in a given ammount of time. intensity = booted up heart rate/metabolism = fat burning machine.

  5. u can have a low …
    u can have a low bodyfat but it doens’t mean your muscles are toned. my suggestion will get you enduring very strong legs but not bulky. low weight high rep burns more fat than low rep high weight. along with weight training you would be running, or more, depending on how hard u want to train

  6. @Sojaofdapepo …
    @Sojaofdapepo being toned relates to bodyfat being low, if the muscles are being excercised regularly already then it’s the variable that makes the difference.

  7. @MrZenic in my …
    @MrZenic in my opinion yes. This is enough to maintain or progress.If your are easily acheiving 10 reps on your final set then you need to progress: move more slowly on the extention and retraction. Then notch up the weights.

  8. never over work …
    never over work your muscles. 3 times a week is plenty. Great video by the way, even though it seems self explanitory, it’s amazing how many don’t do it correctly.

    this is a great video for someone who has a low IQ otherwise the leg press machine is pretty self explanitory

    depends on what u want? big muscular legs or ,, well, even if u just want toned legs thats not enough times per week, toned= 4 sets 15reps medium weight 3 days a week 1day running
    muscular= 4sets(4thset as many as possible) 10reps heavy weight 3 times a week 1 day running

    leg extention and …
    leg extention and leg curl suck, squats, dealifts and leg press and maybe some calf raises are all you need, leg extentions and leg curls will not really help much
