Leg workouts on the Graviton
Is doing leg workouts on the Graviton a good idea? No-nonsense answer: NO!
At least, unlike many risky, overly complicated exercises, this one is harmless.
Why doesn’t it work for “gains”?
The Graviton machine wasn’t designed for that! It was designed for upper-body training.
There are limitations when it comes to increasing the weight and applying considerable resistance. If the weight used is greater than the person’s body weight, they will move “up” instead of the platform lowering, making it necessary to use a lot of arm and shoulder strength to keep that from happening.
The Graviton’s design
Not to mention a structural detail…. Graviton platforms are usually padded or have an irregular shape, resulting in an unstable base that makes it difficult to apply force and reduces the stimulus delivered to the muscles.
There are so many better exercises to do at the gym… “- Ahhh, but so-and-so has an amazing body.” But believe me, they don’t do only this. You can bet they do leg presses, squats, lunges, stiff-legged deadlifts…
And to return to the question and answer it directly: to complement your workout with essential compound exercises like the leg press and deep squats, I would recommend stiff-legged deadlifts and leg curls.
Leg workouts on the Graviton don’t work
The Graviton is not a good exercise for leg training. Unfortunately, not everyone knows this yet, but it’s the reality.
Forget the Graviton and focus on compound exercises to get better results for your lower body. Squats, stiff-legged deadlifts, and Bulgarian split squats.
