Agreed. This guy should also take those a little deeper.

I'd say he's doing okay - here's a pic of him onstage.

Ok, now it's your turn!

Why should he go deeper? Can you go half of that range with that much weight? Can you even unrack 1590? Dave is a strong MF'r and that is a lot of weight to move. But please explain why he should take those deeper. That is about the same range of motion I use on presses. I am only interested in quads on the press, I would say so is Dave!!

Good work Dave and thanks for putting this up. Should'a put 1600 neat on that sucker though!! What's another 10 lbs??? LOL.

I also agree, why deeper, bec you should?? well going certain % ranges of motions on exercises still work amazing for strength and growth.

HAHAHAHA yes, for anyone that works in these ranges of weight ie >1000lbs tell me how your legs feel after a few good working sets. Your hams will be stinging along with the rest of your leg!! OUCH!!

Something magic happens when you subject the body to that kind of pounding! and poundage! Dave and some others here know exactly what I am talking about.

Eh.. While it is impressive, I noticed no benefit from heavy leg presses. I have gone as high as 1200 for 20 reps (ALL the way down, knees to chest) and all I had to show for it was some very interesting severe hip pain. Go figure, right?

I do think it has it's place to be rotated with variations of the squat, lunge, or extensions/ham raises, but it's nothing a routine should be built around.

 

[repmks]

on the 1000lb one it looked like you had another 25 reps in you lol.

 

[db006]

i thought i was at least parallel or deeper on every rep? oh well, cant impress everyone.

 

[db006]

haha...you know i didnt even think about it. i was either adding 45's or 25's, thats how it got to that number.

wouldn't deeper elicit greater microtrauma in every area of the leg? Just think if he had full ROM on the heavier weight. I'll ask you a question. Why half range of motion? Does it work better than full? Could you apply this same principle to a front squat and only go halfway saying you just wanted to hit your quads?

Hey DB,

Are you that big motherfucker I saw @ ironsport last Friday while I was doing my axle presses?

IMO... YES.

Dave,

What did you perform first... the 1000 lbs for 25 reps or the 1590 lbs for 10?

In any case, thanks for for sharing, that was VERY motivating! Especially since I skipped legs today to train chest & shoulders... LOL!

Oh and Oldfella, glad to see you back home to share your wisdom, buddy...

dude where do you want me to go with it?...its 1600 pounds!!...that particular leg press used to have spring pins that you could use to tap off the bottom so its not dead weight but not anymore. theres only so much room between my quad/pelvis/stomach area. i come down to where its comfortable without rolling my butt out of the seat...look at the rest of the leg videos i posted, there all rock bottom including tapping the machine at FULL range of motion. sorry i couldnt do it with 1600.

IMO... YES.
