This is what I have been trying to find. I couldn’t find a video that explained the reasons as to why you shouldn’t be too close/too far away
Really glad you found the video useful!
excellent explaination
Glad you liked it!
what's the main difference between horizontal leg press and basic 45 degree leg press machine?
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 to use this ?
I got 505 lb 15 reps
Awesome!!! Congratulations!
What model is this?
I’m not sure he’s a model.
what would be a natural position for the pelvis or a natural posture? i mean the back is inclined
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!!
For me with Low Back pain they highest ROM still doesnt Hurt my Lower Back at all so thats nice
Awesome! All exercises can be adapted to fit your needs - you just need to know how and when.

That's a bit short of range of you ask me, so don't ask me...
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!
