Can I replace squats with leg press at 140kg due to knee joint issues?

↳ 힘을 쓰는 방향이 달라서 조금 차이가 있을수 있겠지만 그게 몸 건강보다 중요하진 않습니다.

I'm scared and using a Smith machine because there's no one to watch me next to me. 😢🏋️‍♂️

X-shin, are you unable to hear this? When that thought comes to mind, please put it down. I just finished shaving King Yeomra.

↳ 저는 남은 이발까지 해드리고 왔네요 가기전에 이 글을 봤어야 하는데..

My hips feel like they’re going to pop out on me, I have serious pain everytime I come up. What am I doing wrong?

↳ should probably look at hip flexor stretches on YouTube. I do them before squats everytime

When you maintain posture: abdominal pressure is released When you hold abdominal pressure: dizziness occurs When you rest and come back: posture is relaxed Just do one thing, my body.

@StevenDau orrrrr, get stronger and make your own stability lol

↳ if they are beginners, with poor stability and form i prefer Smith machine and light weight

Which is better for muscle hypertrophy, 12X5 with 100 or 5X5 with 130?

Please save me.

Use a smith machine get more stability

↳ no

Use a smith machine get more stability

↳ nah I don’t agree because you go squat in the rack totally different

No I removed a set lol

↳ you got this

Am i the only one who found this tough?

↳ yeah mate, its rough. But worth it.

Please save me.

T.t

Don't let your knees cave in

Focus on your back or else your back will feel like a broken twig

Those can get pretty intense on the knees if you're not paying attention

Hhhhhh

It might be because I haven't done it in a while, but around the 4th set, I suddenly felt a twitching sensation in the muscles at the back of my thighs, and I could feel each tiny muscle tendon. What should I do in this situation? Should I keep going?

Maint neutral back. I use to over arch and that would bring on lower back pain.
