Phew, was about to block you ![]()
OnlyHands?
Take my money!
Lol I feel the same
although Iām the odd one out in the gym without videoing the entire session
I did it in jeans and a hoodie - it doesnāt look stupid, and allows others to check your form to a reasonable degree on YouTube.
Bare feet though, because Iām a pervert. Obvs.
Yeah still not gonna happen! ![]()
Bad enough that every time I get asked for a case study or reference at work that they now want it in video format!
And Iām at least getting paid for that! ![]()
I wish I could give executive updates in meme format.

Is that the sit down leg press Jeff? The one where youāre quite horizontal or the one where youāre practically lying on the floor? Cos our seated one doesnāt even go that high!
There are a few, a static one where you sit down and is horizontal, it only goes to about 190kg, but because the cable or something is half seized itās probably a bit more!
Then thereās a few others where you put the weight plates on for whatever you want, most of them youāre at about 45 degrees, the seat is floor level and the push plate is at standing chest height if that makes sense? Thereās about 3 fairly similar.
Not sure Iām explaining it well ![]()
Looks like half your message is missing!
I was n the seated cable one today, and I struggled to push 100kgs for a 3 x 5 rep thing. Found it pretty hard to get it going, but was ok once i did the initial push.
200kgs seems utterly insane. You must be seriously frickin strong Jeff!
This is the one I was using:
Thereās about 2 paragraphs on it? I can see what I typed but still having issues with the app on my phone.
I suspect Iām not going back into the squat position as much as some as my knees arenāt that flexible!
Itās pretty much one of these. I was getting up to 230kg a couple of years ago with some dedication! But a lot of the people using them at ours have bigger arms than legs to impress the women ![]()

Yeah, thereās one of them as well, although the chair moves back on ours and not the foot plate.
I struggle to get the 45 degree knee extension, seems to put a lot of stress on my knee ligaments and tendons.
I pushed 240kg on one of those last December - first time of using one
Clearly Bongo needs to keep going and beef up ![]()
Iām gonna have to go on the lie down one now and see whatās what. And then get injured trying to prove to myself that Iām not a weakling!

Iām officially a gymbro now so I ought to introduce myself to this thread.
My tri club membership is Ā£35p/m & for this I can choose any three of the sessions they offer which gives me the pick of 4 swim sessions & 2 gym sessions. Itās outstanding value.
Iāve been pretty consistently attending 2 swims a week, but just lacked the oomph to take advantage of a third.
Anyway, this morning I attended a gym sesh at 6am & itās all a bit of a blur. There were sledges, wall balls, bags of sand, dumbbells & variety of machines.
First time in a gym for well over 30yrs & when I got to work I could hardly lift my coffee to my lips ffs.
WTF
are you competing with APM!
Jeeez what is this! Weāll need to rename it StrTalk soon ![]()
Yeah cable leg press, horizontal, regular leg press and then there is hack squat (upside down leg press basically) you do get some leg presses where you push up vertically too.
On how much people press it varies massively, usually depends on how deep people actually take it
. Much like someone half squatting big weights, if you asked them to do arse to grass, theyād fail immediately
This made me chuckle. Iām as common as muck so itās always been Ass to the Grass but if you spake proper, like what I donāt itās Arse to the Grarse I guess.
