Those leg presses in Blood and Guts were INSANE...as a matter of fact every movement Dorian did was brutal.
Okay I just pulled out the tape of blood and guts...
After 3 progressively heavier sets of leg extensions and 2 progressively heavier sets of leg presses yates does the following on his final set of presses on a CYBEX leg press:
11 x 20kg plates each side (all that will fit - yate's gym has those old thick lipped weider plates btw) plus 3 x 10kg plates on top: That is 470 kilos which is 1034lbs.
He does 10 non stop reps then rests for 5 seconds and does one more rep for a total of 11 reps with a very clean, deep action.
So 11 reps at 1034lbs...
Chick has done 50 at 1000lbs?
