people with lower back issues do train with the leg press, not the squat.

this is true, a good mate of mine broke his back in a motocycle accident and after all his rehab he was told if he wanted to work his legs he would have to use the legpress not squats, he was pissed after hearing that from his doc and his physio

my training partner broke 3 vertebrae in his back in a motorcycle accident 4 years ago, he's now good for a 450-500lb squat. just sayin lol

i used to have lower back problems...then i started squatting and deadlifting and it went away. your core gets so much stronger, strong stabilizers are so important in having a healthy back. Leg pressing is good for...well....not much.

i have also done 265, but mine was in kg not pounds!!!!!

 

[austin_nichols]

405x2
415x1
225x26
6'6" 286lbs about 18% BF
Age 46

286lbs was getting to be a bit much in my 40's so dieted down to current weight of about 270. Can only do 405 now with help. I too have wrist troubles (ganglion cyst) and elbow pain & torn rotator cuff. All on left side (which is weaker side).

My goal is to do 405 unassisted again and get it on video to relive "glory days" when I'm in the old farts home or show my daughters dates when she grows up lol !

Sounds darn good to me - unless your spotter assisted the lift with more than a hand off.
