This is great stuff! I haven't used MedX in years, this is a great way to get more out of the leg press. It's sure easier to gap a Nautilus machine, though.
@@dr.dougmcguff282 Pulling topic ideas from a spreadsheet I use to collect feedback: 1) your perspective on how to correctly and effectively use each piece in your facility (there is a big need for in-depth video instruction, just like you did with the MedX leg press here 2) How you and your team coach a client to failure (coaching, cues, setup, instruction, etc) 3) How you keep sessions to 30-minutes and prevent run-over 4) What is "strength" and how does it transfer to different activities? 5) Thoughts on specific exercises and muscle stimulation, breakdowns describing how muscles are involved/effectively stimulated 6) Bone mineral density 7) Strength training recommendations for individuals with different muscle fibre-type distribution. Hope this is helpful!
Thanks Doug very clear. Personally i would like to hear top tips longer this combined with anecdotes of your clients, how far they progress on a machine from a starting fitness of x.
We just got this machine at The Pit Barbell Club . Excellent video. I wondered about the ease in the bottom and this explains how to properly use this machine. Thanks! Would you happen to have similar videos on the best way to use the Medx Arm Cross?
Very helpful for sparing the joints, too, it seems. I’m pretty strong, and as the weight goes up-even with SuperSlow, it can be hard on my knees. (I’m not too old, either). I definitely want to start doing this.
Great vid thanks for the tips. Do you find yourself adjusting the seat incline? One vid eluded to a leg press, hack, squat variance. I have not tried. Contemplating the purchase for my home gym.
Interesting Dr, and I wonder if you are familiar with Doug brignole who's book The physics of resistance training seems to be good information based upon science and physics. Not sure if you are familiar with him or not. I would say his approach is different and does not advocate total failure. It's hard to know what to do due to the conflicting information out there...

It's time for me to usw Medx again. Found a Squash Club that has a line. Happy that this includes a MedX Leg Press. Fantastic Biomechanics.
Great video Doug. We've been debating how best to use this with clients for some time and you make a great case for gapping it. We want more videos!!
We gap at zero and gap as shown in the video on clients. Makes for a varying stimulus for your clients. Any suggestions for video topics?

Yes Sir I use four and six holes all the time, live it! Thanks as always for taking the time to educate and motivate. 💪
Thanks Andrew. Good to hear from one of the best in the biz!

great video. Always informative.Amazing

Very useful information, thanks for this!
Is there any data that shows bone density improvement? I am currently going to Osteostrong but I am always looking for other/better options. Thank you

Do you recommend to gap the stuck for all MedX machines or just some?
Is this machine better than the plate loaded version?
Great stuff
Gee, you're looking good man.
Fighting entropy.....
You're a sight for sore eyes doc
