i just recently discovered leg workouts

[smallmovesal]

yes you heard me

is 140 lbs on the leg press pathetic for a 110 lb girl?

everyone has to start somewhere,u will progress fast,add squats and your good to go

if you wanna work the buttocks area, then dont forget lunges, try it on the smith machine. its a killer.

 

[HappyScrappy]

if it burns, then its good.
if you are doing more than your weight, that is good in my book. guys do multiples of their weight, I have no idea for women though since they go for a different type of muscular development.

Me too, my ass is sore from squats, leg press yesterday.

Dont worry about how many lbs..you are pressing - use good form and concentrate on the muscles you are working..gradually move up in weight as it gets easier..It wont take you long..I started out w/just 1plate(45#) on each side a year ago and Im up to 5 on e/side now..Good luck

yes, 140 is good. you will see the amt of weight you can handle will go up quickly with legs.

just a tip.
dont lock out on the leg press and dont allow your lower back to begin to come off the pad. most people lock out to rest, do the work and rest when you finish your set. (just protectin your joints and back dear)

enjoy

merci

i'm afraid of the smith machine but i will attempt it if i can find someone kind enough to show it to me.

i did arms and cardio today... why can't that shapely swelling stay? they look so good that way.

Leg day is an entirely different ballgame.

you're telling me... i couldn't walk properly for two days after i did the leg press!
