@Peter. This is the result of EMG tests. Lying leg curls came 2nd. See point 3 in this post https://musclehack.com/the-top-12-best-exercises-to-build-muscle/

You mentioned the gravity factor but if you’re using a cable/pulley setup anyway does that matter? Or are the plate-loaded cantilever machines better than the ones with a cable to the stack of weights?

How do Seated Leg Curls factor in? I would think they differ the most from Lying/Standing due to the different hip orientation but I don’t know if that’s for the better or worse.

I injured my right shoulder, which took about 9 months to heal and then my left shoulder which took over a year to heal. I substituted slow, full-range push-ups & dumbbell butterflies and have suffered no shoulder injuries since and really haven’t noticed much if any decline in chest size.
