Gym brag (lemmy.world)

On Friday it did 3 reps, and then 1 rep on the leg press at 925 pounds.

I've been working a lot on legs and don't really have anyone in real life interested in hearing random gym brags. I wanted to share.

For completely arbitrary reasons I want to break 1000 pounds 1RM and I think I'm really, really close.

925 pounds. Does that mean +400kg?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

419.5kg according to a quick conversion.

impressive

Holy shit, makes me wonder how the posture and arrangement for the leg press translates to carrying heavy loads in the upright position.

What weight do you think you could carry if it was strapped to your waist?

I've carried 200lbs for distance. I'm sure I still could, but I've greatly chilled out when it comes to heavy packs.
