On the road to a half ton leg press...

yikes ...two words come to mind- hemorrhoid and hernia. BE CAREFUL!!

wow cool... the most i've ever leg pressed was 240kg (roughly 528) couldn't get any higher then that... well maybe its time to work my way up there again.

Good luck with your goal. remember Be careful, and dont strain yourself..

Wow. Honestly, I'm thinking that's not safe, man. You're going to wear out your body before you even get old. Please rethink this goal.

That really is not that much weight since leg presses are not exactly difficult to do with a lot of weight. Now if you can get a barbell squat up near 1,000 I would personally shake your hand.

Thats right ladies and gents....my goal is a 1,000 pound leg press. I lifted today, albeit it not at 100% and was able to leg press 550 lbs with not a tremendous amount of effort. Only 450 lbs to go! Actually I'm pretty sure I could get 650 lbs right now....hmmm...I'll try tommorow!

Go for it Rocki!

I wouldn't do leg presses though as they are not a very good exercise for growth compared to barbell squats.

BTW The world record for barbell squats is 1107.8 lbs.
