My Best Leg Press: 990lbs

LEGS… LEGS… LEGS.. Holy crap!! Legs are a funny muscle group. They are by far the largest making them great for total body stimulus. Neglecting your legs will slow you down. I have definitely rekindled my love-hate relationship with leg day. All these months of “soft” training and I had forgot about this complicated relationship. I went HARD and leg pressed 990lbs, haven’t done this since college. We are definitely back together, and like any relationship, it is causing me a lot of pain.

But like any male ego in the gym, being the center of attention, even for a minute felt good. Playing basketball afterwards not so good.

Conclusion, every once in a while it might be good to blast your legs but I’m going to be sticking to box jumps, light squats and cycling to stimulate them. I’m not a football player and lifting this much serves me no practical use…I’m more interested in good functional athletic movements and more of a “Hollywood” body type. So I say “NO MORE HEAVY LEG PRESS”…at least for now, or until I need an ego booster.
