what kinda cardio are you doing? i've found a difference in the stamina vs endurance on individual muscles and stamina is mostly about cardio.

I'd like to try a leg press machine sometime. Curious about how it feels.

My best squat for multiple reps has been 385#, but that was a while ago.

A combo of recumbent cycle and treadmill running. Fortunately the roads are starting to clear themselves of ice and dry out so I will be able to go out jogging and running again.

heh. last week i had 12 45's per side on the leg press for the last set. ten reps. it was a struggle.

i've never squatted that much in my life.

12x45# per side! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

At least loading your bike into a truck will be easy, just lift it up!

thats how i feel now...when i was younger i was all about maxing out and getting the wet eyes.

later on i just wanted to look like frank zane!

i hate running for multiple reasons.

i've never done the single rep max thing. i have no clue what my max is.

No where near it now either. Been sticking with 240 to 250 for reps now.

Been having some back issues for a bit now, finally figured it out too.

I've added a lot of bulk to my upper body (arms, shoulders, chest and back) in the last 6 months. However I was babying my lower back so it hasn't really been trained to handle the extra weight. On top of that, I started pushing my abs a little more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Working on it now though and it is helping a lot!

i was never a fan of legpress i tries all sorts of leg widths and foot positions. i always felt it in my gluts/hammys more than my quads. althouh i love doing calves on a legpress <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ok now that i think of it...i did do tons of reps on the leg press but just doing calves...id read a book and do it until i couldnt any longer...then again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Makes two of us.
