Leg Presses

[Laura Lee]

Well, I finally reached 5 plates for reps.  Mike and I trained legs and I started with my usual 1 plate for 15, then 2 for 15, then 3 (I usually stop here and just run another 2 sets of 12), then I opted to try 4 plates for 12, then 5 plates for 12, twice.  Not a whole lotta walking after that I must say.

whaddya squat?

Eh, not so much.  I can squat 3 plates on the smith, 2 otherwise.  Each for reps.

3 plates per side?

[Laura Lee]

3 plates per side?

Umm ya, lol.  I think 2 on one side and 1 on the other would be a bit....stupid. 



and yes, I wear a belt, but no wraps.

You can call what you want SF.  I know what I do.  I go parallel, but no farther (no ass to the floor with that, I can on the hack, but not the smith or freestanding)....I'd never get back up, lol.  I have pretty strong legs for a girl.  Always have.  Might be from the years as a gymnast when I was younger.

Will do Rip. 

[ripitupbaby]

That's more weight than I can squat or leg press.  Good shit!

And I fully believe Laura.  She's an ass kicker.

I believe I outweigh you Rip which probably helps.  I'm 155 right now (such a little piggy I am  .

I'm not terribly far behind you...closer than I would like to be, actually.   

There is going to have to be some major ass kissing around here once you post the video.

What's your contest and off season weight Rip...if you don't mind me asking.

[ripitupbaby]

What's your contest and off season weight Rip...if you don't mind me asking.

I weighed in for Jr Nats at 111 and prolly shrunk down a little more than that by the time finals rolled around 48 hours later. 

My off-season weight is all over the place.  Last year, when I decided to switch from figure to BB, I topped out at 143 in December.   
147 was the biggest number I ever saw, but it was at night with all my clothes and sneakers on.

This year, I am planning on doing a better job making quality gains and keeping my BF a bit lower.  I'm around the 135 mark (give or take a few pounds depending on the day), and I hope to stay there.  I got a bench press competition in February that I'd really like to weigh in at 135 or less for. 

 


OH, btw, I CAN squat 225 although I don't like to (it scares me lol), and I don't go ass to grass either. 
I have no doubt that you've got that covered with the barbell and three plates with the Smith.

I gotta jump in here...........(Laura is new to all this and doesn't "get" or fully understand how "we" determine weight)

First off ...........Laura did do 5 plates per side on the Cybex leg press (for 8 reps)
she is a naturally strong girl (one of the strongest i have ever seen)

that being said ..............no way did she ever squat 315 lbs on the smith machine

she does a plate, plate and a quarter no problem...good deep reps 8 - 12 (working towards 225)

i dunno how she got confused............(she asks me all the time if it is one side or both sides how we determine weight)

Ummm I did 8 in the last set of 5 plates (leg press dear) 12 in the 2 sets prior.

and I also did more than a plate and a quarter on the smith!

I also only asked you ONCE if when you are "counting" plates if you count both sides or just one side. 

How much medicine did you take today?

Im def sick today!!!!........................ im sure you have squatted more than a plate and a quarter hun
but on Get-Big it is much better to "downplay" your abilities so as to not deal with all the bullshit
your def closing in on squatting 225 lbs ..................but not 315
like i said your new to all this and just got confused (or a lil excited after we last trained legs and you were super-stong!)
not to take anything away from you ..............you have great genetics for both bodybuilding and strength

Mike

[ripitupbaby]

OK that's IT. 
Mike, you clearly are highly medicated!!   

Just run the video camera, and Laura will take care of the hard part, OK?!
