How many plates can you leg press?

[chaos]

1. I've always wore knee wraps.

2. I golf.

3. If you think someone needs anymore than that to grow.........you have alot to learn.

1. Pussy.

2. Pussy.

3. So you're saying once someone reaches a specific weight in an exercise, they should stop there and never use more because they don't need it to grow?

With that theory, where do you draw the line with bodyparts?

[The Coach]

1. Pussy.

Pussy? I started training at 12 and didn't start having knee problems (or any) until 41

2. Pussy.

Whatever

3. So you're saying once someone reaches a specific weight in an exercise, they should stop there and never use more because they don't need it to grow?

So you should keep adding weight until you hit 8000lbs?

Drugs or no drugs........because in a nutshell thats the difference!

So you should keep adding weight until you hit 8000lbs?

If that is what you are capable of, why not?

On your chest workouts do you stop at half a weight you could possibly do, or do you lift closer to what you are capable of?

[Awesomo]

This thread is the equivalent of asking what pin number someone can get to on the chest press. Just so you know I rep out "11" like it is nobodies business.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Bout this many.......

Your political opinions may be fucked, but you're definitely strongggg 

[Tombo]

9 a side for pretty shitty half reps


7 a side for good ones

[Captain Equipoise]

Once again having to chime in to order back

[Alex23]

I leg pressed 1000 pounds, but then Obama came to my gym and gave 90% of the weight to people who don't work out.  So now I only leg press 100 pounds.

wow... you're officially like the StarTrek obsessed kids who makes out-of-context 'Vulcan' analogies that everyone rolls their eyes at...

Epic you need to get a job

..and the legs to show for it 

[Lucky Lance]

26 plates (13 each side) on the Nebula leg press; decent form with feet only about 8 inches apart, not too high on the platform, and for 10 reps.  By my fourth set, I'm down to only 22 plates for 10 reps.     I always use a narrow stance cause I want to emphasize the outer sweep (my inner teardrops are overdeveloped compared to my outer quad area).

[clued-up]

I never did like the leg press..

[JasonH]

I've been training legs with Leroy Davis for the last five or six weeks and we work up to 11 plates a side on the leg press. Proper form, slow controlled reps, bringing the knees right back to the chest - feet are turned slightly outwards to take the pressure off the knees. Three sets to failure. In the past when training with a former training partner I've done 15 plates a side but to be honest they were more like half or three quarter reps - it's so much better to drop the weight and crank them out properly.

So Leroy does 3 sets to failure? What was he doing when he trained with Dorian? My whole leg workout is 3 sets to failure lol

Sorry - I meant three sets to failure in total for quads - we do leg extensions followed by leg press followed by either hacks or smith machine squats. We're doing about nine work sets in total for the whole workout - the first on each exercise is usually a reasonably warm-up for 12 reps, the second set is usually done for 8-9 reps with a heavy weight to failure without a spotter, and the final set on ech exercise is usually about 6 reps done to failure with spotter assist to get a few forced reps on top.

The we move onto hamstrings and calves - same principles. I've no idea what he used to do with Dorian - we switch things around a lot and I imagine that's what they used to do too.

[Steve Namat]

My best set was 6 x 1500 lbs. But that was just too much for my knees.

[Bob Bonham]

My best was on the Nebula leg press   17 on each side for 10 reps   thats the same machine Ronnie likes so much when he comes to my gym  that I had to hook him up to buy one for himself. In his video I think he does 2500 lbs on it.

Alex, why do you wear boots to workout in? Are you trying to replicate Nassers 1998 look?

[Blockhead]

 Flex Equipment Leg Press: 12 plates a side for 10-12 reps.

 Nebula Leg Press: 13-14 plates a side for the same.



 - Block!

Whats the difference between the two different makes of equipment Block,are they set at different angles on the sled or the seat.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Wow

I find you hotter now than I did before. Didn't think that was possible. 

[Deicide]
