ITT: DYEL detectors
Leg press is a superior quad builder to squats.
>>37266215
PLATE-LOADED leg press. Not pin-loaded machine.

Are you sure?

>not realizing it's the exact same movement.
Bait thread, but I use this after I finish with barbell exercises
Pic related: a DYEL
I do leg press because my mobility restricts me from doing squats. Will I avoid curlbro look by doing DL, leg press and leg extensions twice a week?
>>37266189
Always see DYELs doing this shit when they can't even flat bench 1.5pl8.
>>37266367
add in cycling and high rep moderate weight calf raises and you'll be good to go
>>37266215
>>37266220

>not realizing front squat is superior for hitting the quads.
Stay dyel
>>37266265
>limits on pin loaded ones
It's alright if you can only do 200 but most I've seen stop at like 230

>>37266470
Purely for quads, leg press is better than any squat.
>>37266471
The one at my gym goes to 450 I think.
>>37266492
>women wearing make up
>to the gym
Nothing engages me more.
>>37266493
I feel like your just trying to avoid squats at this points. That's fine, your physique is your decision, just stop trying to justify it. Just say you hate squats and love to bench and curl
>>37266326
Fixed that for you
>>37266189
The mirror.

>>37266243
>they had to take out a calculator to add that shit
These niggas dumb
>>37266537
I don't even leg press you autistic retard. Leg press is a better quad exercise than any squat. If you want a lift only to hit quads and nothing else, you do leg press. Kill yourself.
>>37266220
It's more convenient retard, if you can handle more weight than the pin-loaded machine can reach, use the plate-loaded one. You're basically showing your autism.
>>37266574
What is a front squat
>>37266189
scrawny dudes that come to the gym and proceed to do bicep curls as their main excercise and grunt while slamming the weights around as loudly as possible
>>37266243
this is plate loaded, not pin loaded, you fucking retard
>>37266426
Why do people do this? Dips is by far the superior movement.
>>37266595
A good exercise that doesn't hit quads as well as a leg press.
>>37266444
Thanks friend
>>37266836
You don't need to 'hit' muscles you fucking bb retard. Quads get worked more than sufficiently (and proportionately) from back squats alone.
>>37266306
Agreed. This thread is bait.
Free weights have a place in the gym as well as any machine. I use leg press for isolation, to retrain, out of boredom for a change and when the free weights are being used by others.
The few people who come on here and slate and dish out remarks such as "DYEL Bro's", are the minority attention seeking fags.

>DYEL detected
I once sat on a Lat- pull down machine a few weeks ago. I'm positive I got some states from the gym rats. 3rd month of gym for me. I must have amazing genetics, I feel like my body is better than half the gym, while lifting a fraction of the weight.
Meant to say, Sat BACKWARDS on the machine, for 3 sets
>>37266948
Le isolations are bad meme
>>37266471
At my gym it goes to around 500lbs
Leg press is fine in conjunction with squats. Not a substitute though. You're fucking autismo if you do leg press but no squats
>wears a tanktop
>nothing but bone and muscles
that shit pisses me off. You can tell they work out, but they don't even eat.
>not warming up
>>37266492
Only wore make up once to the gym, never again. The sweat just ruins it
>>37266492
Some dude at my gym is past 2/3/4/5 and he wears a snapback most days
honest dyel detectors:
>combining random movements, like doing lunges with weights then curling them
>weird little ab circuits
>higher rep box jumps at a moderate height
>using the power rack/squat rack to do barbell shrugs with anything less than 3 pl8
>>37268649
I do barbell shrugs with 2 plates in the rack, what else am i supposed to do go to the deadlifting station to do barbell shrugs?
>>37266189
>my sides when I could max one of those out at 500lbs when I could only squat lmao 2pl8.
I'm still amazed at the people I see using it endlessly, never making progress.
Why can't you faggots just support each other instead of telling each other shit?

Is the hip sled the same thing?
>>37269187
just anywhere where you don't stand in the way.
>>37269225
hey fuck you buddy
>>37266189
>rolling shoulders when shrugging
I don't know how this has happened, but every newbie in the gym is doing it now,
>>37269875
NO, FUCK YOU JABRONI
>>37269875
nah fuck you leatherman. figure you and i should settle it right here in the ring if you think youre so tough.
>>37266367
Start working on your flexibility. I started spending 10-15 minutes stretching post workout. It has helped tremendously. A full squat is much more comfortable and easier than before.
>>37269225
LLLLET THE GALAXY BURN!
>>37270313
We already had a thread explaining why that is the superior movement like 3 days ago.
Not like the retard in your picture is doing, but apparently 70% of people don't know how to do shrugs right or some shit.
>>37266574
How does feet placement modify what you work when leg pressing? I'm just assuming you're a expert
>>37271181
I missed it -- can you go over it again?
>>37266426
Newfag here, what does DYEL stand for?
How to spot the noob/dyel
>weight lifting gloves
>basketball shorts
>running shoes
>uses a smith machine for any reason
>does cardio
>is in the gym for less than two hours each session
>>37271754
Do you even lift?
>>37266189
>hit 385lbs squat
>slight imbalance due to previously injured knee
>use leg press to even out
>some DYEL comes in after I've done several sets of squats and labels me a DYEL just because I'm using the leg press machine
>>37266215
Even better are Smith squats imo. Well, they have been for me anyway. But i don't feel as accomplished only using the smith so i've started doing actual ones at a lower weight after my main Smith sets. Can't squat quite as much yet, but i intend to gradually get my form on point and work my way up.
>>37267379
Um
You know you can't gain muscle if you don't eat in a surplus, right?
Maybe they just had a really successful cut
>>37271775
I actually saw a legitimate use for a smith machine the other day. Not that it defends using it, but if I can remember it I'll post it.
I think it involved throwing the barbell to train for punching
>>37271775
...Fuckshitfuck.
>>37267379
literally just "meat is for men, bones are for dogs" but in some sort of autistic /fit/ version
and his buddy also polo wearing pajeet
dyel?
>>37268649
I shrug 2 plates because shrugging with mixed grip over three 3 plates feels weird
>>37266658
variety is superior.
>>37272064
Muscle confusion!
>>37272160
maybe he's just bored
>>37266492
Fuck off I hate people looking at me because I have an afro.
>nobody gives a shit bout how you look
I've caught at least 50 people staring at my hair
I wear it so you assholes don't stare at me and I can work out in peace
>>37272199
Afros are cool bro
Jewfro here when my hair is at the proper length. Not curly, just volumous and wavy. Hair gainz ftw
>>37266471
Ive never seen one below 400. You're actually talking out of your ass.
>>37266243
>2:43
>Thank god for pure natural strength
>>37272226
One at my gym stops at 200kg.
This anon is correct.
Tfw some dyel is struggling at 80kg and I'm next to him doing 180kg on the plate legpress
>>37272285
180kg is still dyel on the leg press.
>>37271775
>basketball shorts
Fuck, I like it and they are comfortable.
>>37272224
I mean I do like the look but people just either Bert stare me and don't focus on there workout sometimes so I have to hide it just so I'm not that guy
>>37266189
Hey fucker, what about those of us who have thoracic spine issues? Are we supposed to not train at all?
>>37272382
M8 I'm progressing, only been two months at gym
>>37271937
There's one where you put one leg back onto a bench parallel to the bar and basically squat with one leg.
A high-test woman at my gym always does it, I tried it once and was actually feeling a good burn in my glutes
>>37271937
Balistic bench for shot put
>>37267007
Do you eat pizza?
>>37272844
how can you be so weak?
on my second month I was repping 25pl8 on leg press.
>>37273704
>25pl8
somehow i don't think you know what a pl8 is
>>37273721
20kg/45lb plate used for barbell training.
>tfw havent gotten a membership at a gym yet and your apartment complex gym has this exact same machine that i've been using for the past week
>>37273737
1pl8 is two 45lb plates total. what you're saying is that you were leg-pressing 2,250 lbs. in your second month, no less. i believe this a lot.
>>37273799
sometimes estatting reaches full retard on /fit/
It's just best to move along
>>37273787
why even bother living?
>>37273799
>2016
>not leg pressing lmao25pl8
dyel?
>>37271181
>why that is the superior movement
b8
>>37273799
Now after he racks all the weight on it, he grabs another leg press machine and stacks it on top and fills that up
He's only been lifting for 6 months too!
>>37266367
I think Rippetoe suggests doing leg presses at full ROM until you get the strength and mobility to start squatting in one of his videos. Too lazy to look it up or verify on my phone, though.
>>37272160
Just say periodization.
>>37272382
>leg press 180kg after two months
Kill yourself.
>>37266492
Guy on my country's national weightlifting team wears a snap back, his max c+j is somewhere between 190 and 200kg, in the 94 class
Where is your god now?
I do 2x8 sets of leg press AFTER I do my 3x5 squats for dat hypertrophy.
I just want them big rugby legs boys.
>>37266492
>>the guy who does the deadlift to clean to press to squat move
What?
>>37271775
>uses a smith machine for any reason
you know that you can use it for inverted rows ?
that thing that trains back ?
>is in the gym for less than two hours each session
i'm still a dyel, so i have a good workout in one hour, there's no need to spend more time if i do all i need to do efficiently

push it out, spaghetter
>>37271775
>running shoes
fuark. never felt like buying new shoes but seems like it's time
>have shoulder problem
>can't do squat due to the shoulder problem
>use leg press pin-weight machine
>get called a dyel because I'm actively lifting even though body doesn't want me to
>>37271783
Yeah, but what's it stand for?
>>37277180
> squat
> shoulder problem
seeing as you're not putting the bar on your shoulders in any type of squat, what's your dealio?
>>37279109
believe it or not, your trapezius connects to your shoulder. uneducated dyel spotted.
if you have fucked up shoulder impingement, good luck getting a secure placement on your back without intense pain. if your rotator cuff is fucked up, good luck getting the bar on your back without intense pain. are you retarded?
>>37271937
my gym has 1 squat rack. id rather just use the smith than wait for 2 years.
>>37277242
Dudes your erection loves
>>37266565
>>37271775
Why does /fit/ hate ball shorts so much?
>>37276680
push it out spaghetter
>>37271775
So basically do nothing..
>>37266189
lifting gloves.
>>37279109
>>37279189
its true. when you shoulder gets raped by injury you need to recover range of motion before squatting
>>37276680
push it out, spaghetter
>>37276359
>inverted rows
Nothing a pull up or bent over row won't accomplish better
>I'm still dyel
What's your point then? An accomplished lifter can take up to 2 hours doing maybe 4 different lifts / 30+ sets
>>37279747
Usually hiding lmaonoquads and are not homoerotic in the slightest
>>37279814
>>37279109
Do you even lift mate
>>37277180
Use the big boy leg press
>>37266470
The true masterrace exercise
>>37266493
B8 or retarded?
>>37266574
>I don't leg press
>I don't squat
>kill yourself
LOL. Ok man
>>37272844
So then don't make fun of other DYELs when you're still one

I do a lot of leg work, and enjoy squats and leg press, there's nothing wrong with doing leg press so long as you're not using it to replace squats, the squat is a whole body movement that incorporates a lot more muscles and balance than the leg press, for anybody who doesn't like front squat, try the goblet squat, I use a kettleball with them and find it a really good warm up exercise.
Any DYEL stuff:
>Using the punchbag.
>Being on a treadmill for anything more than 15 minutes.
>Lifting gloves.
>those stupid multi-coloured leggings that girls wear that look like space.
>Using the mats and doing planking
>Actually stretching in the gym
>Press ups.
>>37266555
>FTFY
