how much do you leg press?

[9000rpm]

i have seen many threads on how much can you bench, squat, or deadlift, but how about leg press?

i have just recently got into leg pressing at my new gym, my old one only went up to 500lbs

yesterday i used in the region of 700lbs for 10 reps, but this was on my 4th set (and this was also after 5 sets of hack squats)

i weigh 205 lbs

I'm just a lil guy compared to you. I am 5'5" and weigh 180lbs. I start out at 800lbs on the leg press for 10 reps, then 820lbs for 10 reps, then 830lbs for 10 reps.

But this is after I do 3 sets of squats. 375X10, 385X8, 405X4 to 6.

My wife does 300lbs for 10reps on her last set.

We also need to set a standard for the leg press. My def of a full leg press is legs as far back as they could possible go while keeping your ass on the seat, no leg wraps and NO locking out. I know for sure i could put up about 600 more lbs for those reps if i could lock out at the top and rest between reps.

agreed...too many people in gyms all over bend their knees a just few degrees, some not even half way paralell and then brag about the massive weight they can leg-press, personaly my best is a mere 550 lb on my last set for 2 reps....technique is everything

Just been squatting away, no presses for me in awhile.

I have seen a video of Ronnie Coleman doing 2000lbs on a leg press and he was doing them right!!!!!!!!!

He was doing 2300 pounds after squats of 800 or 900 pounds i think.

My personal best is 465lbs. I'm shooting for the big 500 though. But it's not just "how much do you squat", I am interested in how much you squat and what is your body weight. Someone can claim 600lbs, but they might weigh 300lbs. That's not very impressive to me.

The best compliment i have ever received was at my last powerlifting meet... i was told that i looked to be about 8 weeks out from a bodybuilding contest... i hit a 804 @ 234 ... and almost got a 850... i was called on my depth... judge said that i didn't break parallel... anyway my point is i agree... this is why the wilks formula is used to calculate the best lifter at a meet... it is all about pound per pound baby!!!
