My back hurt initially before this leg day, but my fat friend told me he could press 225lbs, i doubted him but he actually did it. When i tried to humble him with 280lbs my back hurt so much, i got up and i could barely walk, i knew i strained my lower back, so now i'm back home, walking through the pain infront of my family, because if they ever knew that i strained my back they will start rambling about the dangers of the gym and so on

I've strained my lower back in the past too, went back to normal in like 2-3 weeks

Leg press? Should be safe unless you go too deep and lower back rounds, that is when injury risk happens. I don't like leg press for this reason and prefer squats, especially belt squat machine, zero lower back strain close to.

Yeah i think my feet were too low on the platform maybe idk but i think this is the last time i'm ever doing leg press, everytime my back hurts after leg day i'm pretty sure it's because of that machine

Gym is dangerous because you can combust into flames and die

Funnily I think squats are better easier to go deep without/less back rounding.. leg press rounds my back even with not much range of motion for legs.. hack squat machine especially is easy to keep straight back and go deep ime and imo, if your gym has one. Fuck leg press.
