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.

seriously people,,,,, the blokes achived something that more than 75% of the people if not MORE could not do
i NEVER get why people HATE somethings they cant actualy do rather than respect adn embrase it
if he could lift the SAME as me hes a stronger person than me IMOand i respect him forthat,,, maybe i was brought up different in the chavy lifestyle,,,, i dont know
suprised we aint all cunting off tyson for fighting " crap" fighters compared to him,,,, no wait we all embraced him,,,,, cause he was a good powerfull boxer

I think its cos people find it hard to compare
If its a single squat to legs parallel then everyone can compare and understand. I dont have a funny inclined leg press machine so I have no idea. I'm sure he is strong otherwise u wouldn't be impressed. I just have no idea exactly how strong

I agree squats are THE single best exercise there is and doing them properly and heavy is way harder than leg pressing.
My old leg workout used to be heavy squats followed by high rep leg presses (circa 30+reps with 200kg). I have to add this was 10 years ago
Some people are a lot stonger than they look/their weight would suggest. I can imagine that Ginge's friend is very strong
EDITED TO SAY: Ginge - people will always be sceptical because we've all seen the losers either squating/leg pressing/benchpressing etc and only moving the weight 2inches and then claiming they are lifting silly weights.
