First time at 1000lbs-leg press!!!

[airtyme]

Today I did my first 1000lb leg press, and holy shit was I stoked!!!

This was done after leg extensions, hamstring curls, squats and lunges. I did four sets of leg presses and the last set was 1000lb for 10 reps. The most I had done was last week for 770lb for 12 reps. I just started working out in the mornings instead of the evening and there has been a dramatic differnce in my energy level and what I am able to accomplish.

hey going down a inch or two with a 1000 pounds don't mean you really pressed it lol you need to go alot lower than 1-2 inches

A good buddy of mine is a trainer at the gym I am a member of, and he trains me twice a week. He puts his hand down where I need to bring it (where my legs form just a little under a 90 degree angle) when I hit his hand, I push up. So in otherwords, my form is correct. And your right, a few inches will never do you any good!

I had to start usin knee wraps when I broke through 1000. When I didn't they would hurt like a bitch next day. Keep it safe bro. But GO BIG!!

Leg Presses are nice, but Squats are better. Most leg presses I use I need to put a small passenger car on top of the damn thing to generate enough resistance to simulate the strain of a squat.
