Vid of me leg pressing 1065 lbs for 15 reps

[Phidias]

Was a bit stressed last monday evening and had to let it go out... lol!

* 16 x 20 kg plates = 705 lbs
* 5 x 10 kg plates = 110 lbs
* weight of the press ~ 15 kg = 33 lbs
* my buddy Richard sat on top on the press = 217 lbs (6' tall with clothes on)

Sorry for the poor image quality, it was taken with a shitty camera phone

Impressive

That is impressive. I don't have video, but today i did quads, i got 8 reps with 20 plates, and a 20 rep widowmaker with 16 plates(obviously i warmed up to). Not as impressive as your lift though. I will get there some day, i don't think my gym will allow me to put anyone on top of the sled though. Thats ok cuzz it still has room for about 6 more plates up on top.

you are kidding right?

why would you ask that?

 

[WildBB]

you are kidding right?

Do you really think that is out of reach?

I think with hard work that is definitely possible.

LOL


No, I don't think so....


BTW, I regularly work out with 750 to 900 lbs on the leg press during leg days. Usually hitting the 9 to 12 rep range. Now, that is no where near Phidias' amazing show of strength (BTW, nice fucking job man - you have inspired me)... but I usually get the same responses because I am not a huge guy. LOL

I wish I had some motivation like Phidias in my gym!

I am right there with you deltaguy. I think this was inspiring.

I got a good leg workout coming...I can feel it already!

WOW Phidias, that's a lot of weight. I bet if we cut your hair you would lose your powers.

I actually did legs last night myself. I was watching a couple of guys do leg presses with way to much weight. I hate when people load up the machine and put their hands on their knees from the very first rep on and push the weight up with their arms too. It really annoys me

Nice job Phidias.
My only comment is that the ROM is a bit short, but I have seen others do their presses this way. I am in no way trying to take away from your accomplishment here, btw.
Out of curiosity, why do some do such a short ROM?
I come down until my knees hit my chest almost, and it forces me to use less weight than if I did shorter reps.
I also remember seeing Flex Wheeler do reps just like Phidias on one of the Battle for the Olympia vids, and he was being trained by Charles Glass so they must work.
How does everyone else do their reps?

Phidias, Your an animal!!

hehe I like how you pull up your shorts before you get going, but then you'll post your bare ass on the internet for millions to see haha

 

[Phidias]

Someone explain me cuz I really don't understand... kidding who? Why?

WTF???

as for people who say it's a short ROM... i believe that's how you're supposed to do it if you don't want to get your hips, ass, and hams involved...

good job phidias!!! your lucky mike wasn't the one sitting on the stack... that would've been what? 1972 lbs?

I prefer this kind of comment... smart ass but funny! Glad you noticed it, Jarconis

Yeah I ALWAYS pull up my shorts when doing leg presses... my knees are so sexy I self censured them

 

[Phidias]

"as for people who say it's a short ROM... i believe that's how you're supposed to do it if you don't want to get your hips, ass, and hams involved...

Exactly buddy! I do it mainly for quads... if I want to hit hams & glutes I switch to squats instead

As for Mike... I wouldn't even have needed a single plate if he had been there

 

[HUTCH]

These are cool videos that should be posted...

I like the checking of the cell before the big lift especially...

 

[aoj]

A ROM that only goes 90 degrees is also way better for the joints imo. I dont go all the way down on my chest anymore cus my shoulders are fucked and I know a lot of other pros do that same to spare their shoulders.

Awesome
