I usually post on here AFTER I take a sleeping pill. Anything could happen.. and I'd have no recollection!   :-[

Sadly I'm also an insomniac.

I don't take anything for it though.  I just suffer through the next morning.  ;D

Man I went to the gym tonight and there was like 700 lbs loaded up.  Apparently the juice heads can press that much but they can't put it away.  ::)  Sucks for the old people who will be coming in in the morining and want to leg press.

All depends on the range of motion.  If I put the back up high and my knees touch my chest with my legs barely bending I can use a ton of plates. This seems to be what 99% of gym guys do.

 If the back board is down and I really bend my legs in a complete range of motion, the weight used goes down 50%.

True, I wonder what kind of ROM/back rest setting some of these 30 plate pressers are using. :-\
