Hi,
Some of you may have seen the debates on Tiktok over whether a high and wide stance can be used to bias the hamstrings on a leg press.
It has been very polarising with people getting into the semantics.
Deceleration of the knee was quoted as to why they are involved; hip flexion and and knee flexion leading to know significant change in length at the hamstring was quoted etc…
I’ve come here for a hard and fast biomechanics lesson as to fact please.
No one is arguing that the leg press is a good exercise to build the hamstrings but many thing they are working enough to grow and many thing they are not doing much at all.
