You shouldn’t think along the line of which machine is more effective - you should ask the question: which is more effective for you? This machine targets primarily your quads right - yes a little bit of glute and hamstring but primarily quads. The key question is: for you - which one gives you the biggest stimulus on your quads? Does one make you feel the work on your quads and the time and the day after the session? If so - that is the one for you.

@@fitnesslabuk oh thank you, you're so right. Good to be mindful about noticing how it feels for your own body as not 1 size fits all. Also I need the one with less lower back impact. Thanks.

You are so welcome.

Hmm tough one to answer for us I’m afraid. Because we aren’t there to see what’s happening or do any kind of assessment it wouldn’t be right for us to answer that. I’m very sorry. We would recommend seeking the advice of a physiotherapist or movement specialist who could help you in person.

Wow!! Strong triceps!! Hard to give any advice or guidance without seeing you do the movement I’m afraid but as long as your form is spot on, you are getting solid range of movement then keep going!

I think this machine is easier to do because the same happens to me

A natural posture would mean as close to a neutral spine as possible. This will be key when bringing the legs closer to your chest. You want to bring them as close as you can without having your lumbar spine come into flexion - this would be like squatting and having a large butt wink. Due to the nature of where the load is on this machine, if this does happen you shouldn’t worry too much as there is much less risk of injury or issue being caused.

@@fitnesslabuk thx for the explanation

You’re welcome. Hope it helps!!

We think so too! We will be doing more quick how tos to keep helping but also doing longer masterclasses if you want to sit back with a coffee and learn more. Thanks for commenting.

Awesome!!! Congratulations!

Awesome! All exercises can be adapted to fit your needs - you just need to know how and when.

@@fitnesslabuk by now my knees hurt tho so I gotta back off xD quad tendonopathy

Yes that would be wise!! Keep us updated with how you progress!!

We can see how you think that. The thing with squatting, leg press, or any exercise really, a lot of information for many years was that if you weren’t achieving “perfect” range of motion it was incorrect or poor form. This just isn’t the case. There is no perfect range of motion because every human body is different and works differently. You can have two people who are the same height but completely different limb lengths or torso lengths for example. For some, this will be too short a range of motion but for others it will be perfect. It’s all about finding the right set up for your body!

When the weights are coming down theyre helped by gravity so if you keep the negative controlled, youll get more resistance with 45° one than this

How far your elbow travels back - if you travel too far often individuals can experience their shoulder capsule rounding and collapsing forward. The distance you can have your elbow travel will be different for everyone - if you find you are really struggling in this area - you will need to work on your shoulder extension.

So glad you found it useful!
