Subject: RE: leg press question Not sure on the exact type of machine you were using but one quick thing to remember is that on some of those machines you have to take into account the weight of the actual machine its self. With some leg press machines where you are seated and pushing up, even if you don't have any weights on them there is still a very significant weight from just the machine.
So, suppose the machine weighs 45 pounds (a pretty common weight ), you add the 90 you were doing with 2 legs and you were actually putting up 135. switch to one leg and add the machine and you were doing 65, that's pretty dang close to half... Obviously I have no idea if this applies or not because I don't know what machine you were on, and even if I did I wouldn't know how much to add for the weight of the machine, but just something to take into consideration.
edit: Either way I agree that doing 1 leg is good though. Edited by ACGRAY22 2008-02-18 11:34 PM
