What's up, Beeshes, what's up Booshes. Welcome to episode 10044. It's your boy, Papa Sooyo. The coffee is piping hot, and we are ready to get into the nips and tits. Remember, tomorrow, episode 1,045 is the Sunday, Funday Q&A, so keep an eye out on Instagram and on Facebook for the post where you can drop your questions for this week.

Super exciting, right? Am I right? I'm right. All right. Okay. Well, the question of the day for

today is from Kyle Jeffers 99, and he asks, is it normal to experience minor backache after leg press?

I do yoga regularly, so that can't be the answer. Well, first off, Kyle,

yeah, it certainly can be the answer because I don't know what that means. You do yoga regularly,

Now, with a leg press, it is like real hardcore compressive force.

I mean, this goes the same with like hack squats and movements like that because when you

are in a closed chain, meaning your feet are locked in position and your upper body is locked

in position.

The only place where your body can rotate and can adjust is in the joint.

So your knees are going to have to rotate and twist and shift in order to provide the movement. Now, we don't move completely straight in one linear direction. Our tibia rotates to unlock the knee. So there is movement there. There's rotation there. And when you have locked positions at the top and at the bottom of the movement, the feet

and the upper body, you are limiting the ability for your body to adjust and to find a better

movement.

So if you think about it, let's say you have 100 people and you have one specific type

of leg press.
