My schools gym needs some 100 lb plates...the leg press machine only holds 10 45s (450)lbs....I am good on that for 4 sets 15 reps. I would be interested to see what I could leg press.....I am with you on those big oak legs....good for power and sprints.....wasted on distance running though.....did I mention I hated running even when I was 190lbs.

Diet, water, rest/sleep, and changing up your routine every couple mmonths or so is critical. By my senior yr in high school (17yrs old) I was able to bench 315 (3 plates) which at the time I thought was cool, Its not. Do not hurt yourself. Genetics is also a factor you can't escape, but discipline can off set this.

When I took my 3 mo vacation to Parris Island, I went in a chisled 220lb god and came out a spindly 177lbs pencil necked dweeb. I had to start all over again, but it came right back.

It is amazing how fast you turn to soup....I was only good for 5 reps at 245....it takes so long to build it up and then lose it so quick.....just like a good chopper collection!

Keep in mind that muscle has memory and it will come back quick if you do it right.
