How many times your weight can you leg press ?

**fitnfirm** · 03-31-2008, 08:13 PM

What do you think the " Natural " Numbers would be for an average lifter ? 3 , 4, 5, times your weight on a good day ? Discuss and vote.

AND this is for FULL range of Motion

Ive never seen a chart or read info on the norm, I can do 3 x but that is when I weighed 180 bulking, not bad.

**Free Weight Friedel** · 03-31-2008, 08:19 PM

I did 1000 lbs for 3 reps a few months ago using full range, with wraps.

I'm Natural believe me!!

**sobelik** · 03-31-2008, 08:20 PM

The most I have ever done with a full range of motion is 990 on an isolateral leg press weighing in at 200...Ive done more just not full ROM.

Cool cuz its not like I plan to do it

I guess I could be a wimp and just do 100 pounds

But it seems some think these things are funny, but god forbid you say something about one of their issues that may be embarrassing. Had I never shared it it could not be brought up. I really don't care but when that is the only thing a person adds to the thread it shows something about a person.

**SHOWTIME** · 03-31-2008, 08:47 PM

Myself 3 times

full ROM including bottoming out.

Now I wont elaborate too much on the leg press but many people who think they are so strong on it are just cheating themselves and back up their claims with crap like..my thighs were touching my chest that is as low as I can go,

Now although that is correct, the fact is you can adjust your feet position which will greatly alter the ROM possible as well most Leg press machines have a adjustable back pad which again can add or shorten inches to the ROM.

I am working my way up to 4 times although i am not there YET!

So for teh average lifter ( as in North american average or the somewhat dedicated persistent average)

North american average 1-2 times tops!
Somewhat dedicated average 2-3x BW

I saw a vid of him doing 1000 with ****ty form, but still impressive for an old man.

lol, i'm not saying he's not in great shape, just thought that a picture of him sitting on a leg press machine and then it alone is total weak shyte. I hope to be in that good of shape when i'm an old fart too.

wait....whaaaaat?!?!? You don't count that as a rep (can i change my answer to .5x bodyweight?)

**fitnfirm** · 03-31-2008, 08:58 PM

Ive always wondered if wearing knee wraps would help me. They look constricting and uncomfortable. I know some wear them to help prevent injury but still looks uncomfortable.

same here, never worn real straps even though I have bad knees. I assume it'd be like wearing those sleeves for bench press (might be wrong, no idea)Not the whole suit though, just elbow thingamajiggz

Ya I have those elbow sleeves, they are a biatch to get on and off. Its hard to curl with them and so I gave up. Was using them with ben gay to keep the joints warm.
