You should do it slower to maximize the tension on your muscles, also never, NEVER let your legs be completely straight while doing legs press because this can happen.
Bent knees/elbows = weight being applied to your muscles.
Locked/fully extended = weight being applied to your joints.
You can train your muscles to handle many times your weight (my heaviest leg press was 1,010lbs after a few months of working out with my marine brother in law for example) but your joints are a whole different story.
Locking your knees when you stand up is fine, your joints are BUILT to handle your own weight in reasonable positions, but locking your knees when there's 600lbs of added weight is asking to be permanently injured.
Also this guy was doing it way too quickly and without control. It's the equivalent to lifting dumbbells by swinging your arms and using the momentum to make it easier instead of taking it slowly and genuinely feeling the burn, it adds a risk of legitimately snapping a tendon with that kind of weight.
I bet that wouldn’t have happened, if he hadn’t been bouncing like a kangaroo to get that weight moving. I’d drop it to like 70% of that so I didn’t need to use a walker in my 60’s.
I hate this so much. Always keep your limbs extended, and never ego lift. It's not about being explosive and fast and hard, it's about doing it right and pushing your body's limits. If he didn't break his knee he probably would have ripped a tendon or something else. This is the type of dude to swing the dumbbells instead of lifting them (lifting with his back instead of biceps, using momentum) and brag about how much he can lift.
Bent limbs = weight distributed to your muscles.
Locked limbs = weight distributed to your joints.
You can strengthen your muscles to a phenomenal extent, but your joints can only do so much.
The gym ones are always so horrible
I'm no gym expert, but that doesn't look like the correct way to do that.

Actually you can let your legs lock with no problem unless you’re trying to press 990 pounds like a dickhead
Same. I haven’t been to the gym in years but I remember you weren’t supposed to lock your knees when extending.
It also prevents blood flow and over / hyper extends the ligaments. This guy is just fucked. He’s probably got no ACL after this.

Too many people still value reps over time under load
Not clicking play on that one, Satan!
You made the right choice 🤢
Saaaaaaaammmmmeeeeee
Lmao what an idiot
Yeah that machine definitely isn't supposed to be used like a trampoline. Ego lifting at its finest
Full cringe
Bye to all his ligaments! I dislocated my knee too by hyper extending it but this one looks way more painful.
Damn! Well, it’s not our problem 😂 Sucks to be him.
Funny how life can change in an instant. Momentary lapse of concentration, lifelong pain and suffering.

Broke my knee just watching this champ
Why do i sub to this placeeee
What a moron. Honestly that’s not even that many plates i rep 12 on each side for 20+ nice slow and all the way down
They actually removed the video
NSFL
I’m pretty sure you can handle some muscle guy breaking his leg.
There’s no blood, gore, or guts.
What else do you expect to see in this sub?
XD I know. I brought it apon myself
Play stupid games…..

All you ego-training idiots
Say buh-bye ligaments
Heyyy hoooo
🎶
He was wrecking that machine, so the machine wrecked him.
u/savevideo
Does this happens for taking more weight than you should? or just weak bones or posture??
Terrible form never lock knees on leg press
i feel like at some point its not longer a freak accident if you're doing shit like this
This was pretty funny. 😂
I'm not a doctor but I think he needs one
Hahahah
Just looks like a good workout to me. He pushed his knee to failure #workoutgoals
My left knee is aching now 😫
Looks like a buddy of mine from active duty, funny enough looks like he’s wearin NWU type II’s
