Comments(7)A couple years ago, I was overweight, unhappy, and decided to make a change.
I set some goals.... now this may seem silly, stupid, like a waste of time, weird, whatever...but it was a goal I had in mind.....
I wanted to be like Hugh Jackman and leg press 1000lbs.
Today, I reached my goal.
I warmed up at 450lbs for two sets of eight reps.
I got rolling at 630lbs for two sets of 8 reps.
I started to feel the hurt at 810lbs, one set of 6 reps. This is usually my top weight for strength training.
I put it up to my past maximum at 900lbs, banged out a single set of 6 reps.
TEsted the waters at 950lbs for a single set of 4 reps.
Then I went for broke and got a couple bigger guys to spot, threw on the last 50lbs, and leg pressed 1000lbs for one set of three reps.
My legs are teh hurtz....but it's a neat feeling to know I've accomplished somthign I set out to do for myself.
Just thought I'd share. Oh, and Ryan Kennedy kicks my ass.... love you man, you keep me focused! Sorry for not coming to
