    • @naomikong
      @naomikong  2 роки тому +1

      They will target the same muscles! The Seated Leg Press will be a little easier on the knees while the Leg Press will have a little more pressure on the knees-both are great, it just comes down to your personal preference and if you have any injuries/limitations! 🙌🏼

    With the seated leg press- are your knees supposed to be in line with your toes at the starting position or slightly below? Or are they supposed to go over your feet like when squatting with a barbell?

    • @glcriae9690
      @glcriae9690 3 роки тому

    Hey just a quick question to the people in the comments:
    How heavy are you and how much can you press? I would kind of like to know what the average is for that excersice. Would be great if you could help me.🙈

    • @naomikong
      @naomikong  Рік тому

      Hey, Judith! ✨
      I always recommend starting with the lightest weight possible, and when you can comfortably perform 12-15 reps with proper form, then increase the weight. For this instance, use no additional weight at all, see how that feels, and if you think you could comfortably add more weight, I’d say start with a 25lb plate on each side and then go up from there following the above recommendation. 🙌🏼
      There is no “right” or “standard” amount of weight to use for any exercise as everyone’s starting point will be so different and you truly just want to start where you yourself are at and go from there. The only “wrong” amount of weight to use is one that compromises your form and makes you prone to injury. ☺️

      @@naomikong Wow thanks for your quick reply.🤗 But I'm not actually a beginner. I've been lifting for a year now (not always regulary though) and I would love to know how much people in my weightclass are lifting just to know where I am in the spectrum. I am always working out on my own in a gym where there are mostly men, so I don't know what the female standard is.
      For example: I weigh 73kg and I can do 5 slow and clean reps with 250kg at the moment. Is that good?

    This is exactly ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
