Leg Press 1000+ lbs ten sets of ten

Videotaped to review performance. 20x 45lb plates plus 100+ lb rack, ten sets of ten reps all performed within 60 minutes including warm-up. One month shy of 45yo. Out of lifting since 1997 when I had hit 2750lbs for six reps now back 6 months prior to this in Feb 2011. Too bad this gym does not have a bigger rack!! (Hint, hint Greg). (July 15, 2011) Normal legpress workout is up to 12 sets of 10 with a goal of 15 sets of 10 by the end of August, 2011.

Hey! Yes. Not too bad after a 14 year break and just getting back into it last February! Give me a good leg press rack and I will be back to six reps (full) at 2750 lbs in a month!

What the heck is up with 'geared' vs 'raw' powerlifting now? Things have changed in competition!! And only a few 'tested' competitions? Boards (partial reps)? No wonder the weights are so high! All i can say is going natural I kept the ability!

Working with nutritionist on the rest. Great job ParagonBMan!

Had knee replacement 5/31. Been going to P/T twice a week with one of those machines as part of it. I did 100 non-stop today at 260#, 10 with just new knee. Actually felt good afterwards. You be careful, new knees are painful!
