So... back spasms are 'fun'. One 500mg anti-inflammatory and a LOT of stretching later... Trained with Paul and said 'let's have a rep day' (which is like a deload). All sets were 'you-go-I-go'

I wanted to do SSB squats but the rack looked like it was gonna be in use for ever.

Power Squat Machine
50-kilos then 100, 150 and 200 x 8 reps. Spasm lowering the set up for Paul (a lot shorter than me)

Seated Leg Curls (s/setted with...)
5p x 20 reps to stack x 20 reps

Leg Extensions
to stack x 15 ouch OMFG reps

Bwt: 303lbs

Question, since I am a relative newbie:  when you are doing a 700kg leg press, I am assuming that is a machine.  I didn't know they went that high, but also, what range of motion are you pressing?  Clearly you are at the top of the strength ladder, but that 700kg just struck me as humanly impossible, if it is what I thought it was, even if you were the best in the world at it -- because wouldn't that translate to a deadlift of something like 1500 pounds (which I am pretty sure no human ever did or could do)?  Or is the reason no one deadlifts over 1000 or so simply all grip?  I can't imagine legs that strong, but hey, maybe.  It's just an innocent, honest question because I am not all that familiar with serious lifting and I thought 700 kg was a typo at first but then I kept seeing it over and over and had to ask.  

Thanks and happy holidays, keep up the good work.  -- Vin

Hi Vin. It's nothing. Check out Ronnie Coleman on TY doing 2250lbs. On the 700kg (I've done reps with 765 and 3 reps with 850) it's a short range of motion. On the other sets I try to keep the range honest. As for what it translates to - best guess others have come up with is a squat of about 1/3 what you leg press. As for machine - yes of course. No one uses much over 500lbs on the old school method.

Thanks, that "nothing" is pretty impressive.  I've had back surgery so I have a decent excuse to avoid that arena and stick with grippers lol.  Be well.
