So.. I leg pressed 1000 lbs today..
Holy shit.
Just got back from the gym. Here’s how it went:
- Stretched a bit while Porter got ready
- Leg pressed 8 reps with at 200 lbs to warm up
- Leg pressed 2 reps at 700 lbs
- Spent 20 mins stretching and stuff while hubby did his race
- Added 50 lbs, leg pressed another 2 reps at 750
- Added 50 lbs, wasn’t able to push it back up, had to flip out sideways when it went all the way down, LOL
- Got the crazy idea to bump the weight to 1000 lbs and see if I could press it just beyond the safety range (about 3") to the end of my range (completely straight legs, but not locked knee)
- Managed the 1000 lbs for ~3" NO PROBLEM. Got the crazy idea to remove the safety when hubby wasn’t looking and see if I could bring it down further.. did about 4 reps varying between 6-8" range of motion!!!!!
MUAHAHA!!
Of course the 1000 lbs is in no way legit till I bring it down further, but I’m already at about 120 degrees, not that much further to bring it under 90 degrees!
The most I’ve ever tried to do before, so far as I can recall, is probably about 600, back in my teens.
