was doing legs,,, well not heavy but stretching when we all got a bit childish like normal

our nemisis comes over for a piss take and a crack so i add the weights upto 370 to pretend im going for that,,,,

the personal trainer says i can lift that,,,, so I come out with BOLLOX shorty,,, i got 10 saying you cant,,,, 7 of us agree as hes about 75kilos maybe 85 TOPS,,,, ok hes also a boxer but thats skipping and shorts round the belly button


FUCKER MADE 70 QUID,,,,,, AND DONE 5 FUCKING REPS THE CUNT

ok they wasnt long ones,,, BUT I COULDNT LIFT THE FUCKING THING WITH PRESSING MY KNEES TO CHEAT

hes starting to anoy me now

not bad for him though,,,, 70 quid cash for 30 seconds,,,,, AS HE WAS REMINDING US AS WE LEFT THE GYM

cant even beat him up as hes a boxer too

proper bloke though and respect to him

 

Was that using a bollocks leg press or something i presume?

Start squatting - relies on the back and technique - anyone who says they can rep a weight - tell them it has to be legs to parallel (90 degree knees) usually sorts em out.

UL tho - cos that guy is obviously well strong

RW

 

he done very well.

 

its the one that you add the plates on each side and the middle and push up

the fact he got it OFF the peg was impressive,,,,, him with hes arms behind hes head trying to look like hes relaxing was anoying

was worth the tenner,,,,, first time im been lost for words too

 

that aint that heavy really

 

its almost 300kg over hes body weight, its not a bodybuilder, hes a personal fitness trainer

i couldnt even LIFT it off the peg

id LOVE anyone to pop along and try it whos no more than 85kg,,,, 5 reps is all you need to do

 

814 pounds isnt heavy?

Course it isnt.

 

whats engine weigh

stu you understand that achivement ( and i dont mean how hard it is getting me to part with money )

proper impressed,,,,,, so much so i went back onto chest to cheer me up

 

Ginge !

10er says i can

 

you weight is ???

this aint the girly machine where talking about,,,, this is KILOS not ounces too are you aware

there was 2 other people who could lift it i agree,,,,,, but one of em had veins sticking out hes bald head and the other i though hes need was gonna pop out as it was moving in a freeky way

if you can fair play,,,,, BUT IT IS NOT FUCKING LIGHT !!!!,,,, SUPERMAN HIMSELF WOULD HAVE LOST A TENNER IM SURE

 

Whats the Sled[spl] weigh on its own Ginge?

 

Whats the name of the equipment which you were on

out of interest

 

Just a pansy leg press isn't it, try it on a squat rack instead!

 

I do agree though

 

Never thought of just doing your workout etc and then going home ??

You can never under estimate anybody really with what they can do


Least you'd still be a tenner better off

 

how tall are you?
how tall is the boxer?

when i was doing this sort of stuff i could lift probably 55kgs, but my brother, who was 9 at the time, was lifting it with ease, mainly due to him only having to move it a total of about 6 inches as the rest was only 6 inches further down the machine that his little legs could reach

 

370 kilos is very very heavy, i weigh 80 kgs and the most i can leg press is 160-170

 

i can do 240ish just but can do 200 quite comfy)(ish)


cant belive how many dont think its heavy,,,,, any of these people actually tried it ??

 

Everybody is different though,i would give it a go and to me does not seem really heavy,although i weigh 139 kilos and carried my cosworth engine up and down a flight a stairs when i rebuilt it

regard mark

 

as much as i agree I and i admit thats alot of weight to lift out of be so you might not struggle with it

20kg more dont have make a difference when your at you limits

 

That is a tidy weight to be fair, I think I used to leg press about 300-350 max, and then me legs were all a quiver after a set of 10

 

I weigh 64kgs 5ft8 and can leg press 200kgs...my legs arnt exactly huge either lol

 

thats a fair amount to lift, i dont understand peeps saying that aint heavy lol, when i used to work out alot, the thing that annoyed me the most was the big guys who would come in not warm up and do a few reps of the heavest wieght thinking they the man

lifting heavy wieghts isnt overally hard, lifting weights with proper form is

fair play to the guy

been itching to get back in the gym recently for some reason

 

fair play ginge i would love to have seen your face

im 83kgs and i can lift about 300 max 220 - 240 normally

 

The strong fucker eh.

 

The leg press is an easy machine to cheat at, personally I don`t like it or use it. Nothin like squats. There is fellas in the weights club I`m in that can squat 7 plates either side of the olympic bar. Thats 300kg and get 10 reps. Also saw them benching 5 plates either side of the olympic bar

 

bet they look like right ugly cunts tho lol

its a definately respectable weight if he's doing it well. if hes short it does help though.
squats are a chunt. definately get in the habit of doing them. you will see your legs growing in only a few weeks!!

 

Squats to proper depth, deadlifts and bench so it touches your chest are the main exercises IMO.

Machines are just a bit of fun

RW

 

bench to chest i can do ( found my tri's have gained from the extra going down)

dead lifts i CANT do due to a fucke back, squats i also fear for the same reason

9 months ago i was on morphine for lower back pain,,, dead lifts scare me

 

Pfffft,

I reckon i could beat him at a Thumb Wrestle

 

Ginge, if you printed out one of your normal replies on here in arial size 10 on A4, could he lift that?

 

 

to be able to say you can comfortably lift a weight on any machine 15 reps is a minimum, to just lift a weight off a peg and do 2 or 3 reps proves nothing

 

Why you would bet someone who obviously knows how much he can lift is beyond me.

Thats like me saying to a few guys, yeah I can do 105kg on the fly machine. Then them being daft enough to give me Ł70 for it

 

Ginge, can you get a piccy of the leg press machine in your gym. I think then we'd all be able to gauge how impressive it is......

Is it a straight up and down sled at 45deg or one like in the picture of me which moves in an arc and lifts the weight in a more vertical plane.

Ta

 

what a crock of fucking shit

 

Not surprised Where I box, we did a fair bit of relative strength training. The idea with this is not to put weight on (fairly important to boxers!) but to improve how your body uses its existing motor units... this increases strength but keeps your natural weight. Ask the guy if he does this, it would explain his strength to size ratio.

 

Sums this thread up

 

Why is that shit. I think that is a perfectly true. If you are at your limit the dinky 1.25kgs can make a difference

People who don't think this makes a difference need a major reality check. Gaining strength isn't done in leaps and bounds, it's a slow process lifting progressively more weight. Of course you progress quicker when you first start out, but it's like car tuning. The further you go the harder it is to make the gains in performance.

 

exactly what I'm saying.

Ginge is saying 20KG more DONT make a difference when your at your limits
