Leg Press & Benches


28 Apr 13 (Sun)

     Warmup
     300m Row

     Up to Max Weight
     5 Leg Press       (80lb, 90, 100, ... , 200, 210, 220, 230)
     5 Bench Press   (70lb, 80, 90, 100)
     ***  Total Leg Press = 80, Bench = 20

     Cooldown
     300m Row

  It's sure a lot easier to use higher weights for leg press when you're not pushing up your own body as in a real squat. That's bad, of course... it artificially inflates the amount that it seems like you can stand up with. Oh, well: can only do what I can do.

  The knees kinda stopped clicking & crunching at the last few leg press weights. Not sure why: maybe found good foot position/technique, interior rough cartilage got sanded down, difference in interior forces at different weights, ...?  Dunno.    :/

  My bench press has always been pretty weak; seems to have declined even further. I'll have to give benches and pullups some extra attention to hit a couple of my larger weak-spots.

  Still had a little weight left in the tank. Stopped before failure, to avoid soreness and keep motivation up.
