Just Leg Pressed 630 lbs!!!!!
Ok i just had the craziest leg day since i started working out! So me and my lifting buddy went to the gym on wednesday to do sum leg workouts and play basketball. We started out with leg extensions, then leg curls and calf raises. Each exercise with 4 sets or more. At the end of my routine I usually do leg presses or squats to finish everything out. I started with my usual warm up of leg presses doing 10 reps at a total of 270lbs. It felt unusually easy so for my first set I did a total of 450lbs. This was also unusually easy as I did 12 reps. My friend was like dude wtf are u taking! An I was like idk whats happin but lets keep loadin up plates! The 2nd set I did 8 reps at 540lbs. More than I have ever done and more than I’ve ever tried. This got my blood pumping and I wanted more weight. So for the 3rd set I did 7 plates on each side for a total of 630lbs. While trying to focus on the huge weight I was gonna try to lift I noticed almost everyone lifting around me stopped to watch and some dudes called over there buddies to come watch "the little kid." This made me nervous but even more focused to move this weight. 3 reps later I locked out the machine and stood up to dropped jaws and hella sore legs haha but the greatest feeling of accomplishment came over me and I felt respected by the bigger guys as they nodded in approval as a 150lb kid just out lifted them. The next day my legs were on fire and I couldn’t wait for leg day next week to try more weight.
