@oscarwip Any sources on this? Everyone including me I see do this gets a massive quad pump Maybe your form is different and is emphasizing glutes? I fail to see how this would be glute dominant if your back side is literally posted up against the pad

@doks Very true, in those other subs i just get berated by people citing insulin model as if insulin increased adipose stores (which has been disproven time after time I.e GLP-1 agonists)

@fireblaze Yeah I’m not sure, my quads usually light up with these and I see in the mirror my knees go over toes.

@fireblaze Interesting, were your feet towards the top of the platform? Also which way were you facing? When my face was towards the pad, it definitely felt more posterior chain focused. Also if I’m facing away from the pad, if my feet are too high on the platform (similar to high feet...

@dragonfruit10 Everything I’ve checked thus far verifies quad first

@dragonfruit10 Resorting to insults? Yeah that speaks volumes to your knowledge base haha

@dragonfruit10 I think you’re doing them wrong man, pending your stance you can easily go into knee flexion. I’ll trust the YouTube tutorials from the experts over a random redditor who probably is doing the Exercise incorrectly

@dragonfruit10 Click the link, Jay Cutler is talking about V squat. All other squat tutorials highlight quads as primary muscle group It’s the same motion man hahah physically impossible to place glutes ahead of quads for ANY squat movement

@dragonfruit10 Literally ever single video I’ve seen on this highlights quads as the primary muscle group hit Plus I feel it most in the quads, I think you guys are spreading your feet too wide or keeping feet too far up.

@akwai Interesting, is your face facing the vertical plane of the machine or is your back leaned up against it? I find the latter more knee flexion driven and the former much more hip flexion driven. Also keeping my feet center and close together helps focus on the quads

@crimsonking1 Thank you, I will give leg press a shot of V Squats give me any progress within the next few months. Right now I get a killer quad pump and DOMS from them, and am still increasing weight so I guess time will tell I agree, my back pain wasn’t worth it, and low bar squats were...

@justyna Definitely will try, and didn’t like the way the adidas power lifts felt when I had them so maybe I’ll try a different shoe

@dawn16 Thanks, I find with leg press I always get the hamstring/glutes involved too much no matter the foot placement

Thankfully keto is falling out of fashion, but there still are quacks circulating the internet who believe carbs will inherently negatively impact your health regardless of any other factors. These people probably have never taken a biology or biochemistry course and don’t understand the...
