分享器械使用技巧

Excuse me, I noticed you're using the leg press machine. Do you have any tips on getting a deeper range of motion without straining my back?

Oh, definitely! A common mistake is to let your lower back lift off the pad. Try to really push through your heels and keep your entire back flat against the seat. It helps to brace your core too.

That makes sense. I've been feeling it more in my lower back than my quads. So, focus on pushing with the heels and keeping the back glued to the pad. Got it.

Exactly! Also, don't lock your knees at the top. Just a slight bend to keep the tension on your muscles. Are you trying to build strength or endurance?

Mostly strength right now. I'm doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Any other machine tips you have for legs?

For hamstrings, the lying leg curl is great, but make sure your hips stay down. Don't let them lift off the bench. That often happens when the weight is too heavy.

Good to know. I tend to focus more on quads, but hamstrings are just as important. Thanks for the advice!

No problem! Happy to help. Keep up the good work!
