Strength Standards here have intermediate max squat for 70kg at 113 Vs 196 for leg press.

Press: strengthlevel.com

Squat: strengthlevel.com

I don't press so didn't realise the difference would be so big but guess makes sense given the torso's involvement in the squat.

Still I'd expect you need to be close to advanced on two legs (circa 250kg at 70kg) to do 1.5 bodyweight on a single leg.

Morning,

All this talk of lift weights make me realise I need to get to the gym to do some S&C, last time on leg press machine it was @ 110kg, which isn't a lot, squatting a lot less I'm not so confident with free weights.

I did some swimming last night 1400m, consisting of 6 x 200m with a few 50's and 25's as a sort of cool down.

MA.

I start a new job in just over a week which has a gym on site so I might get back into a bit of a gym routine after a 8ish year hiatus.

There's also a 50m pool and a running track a stones throw from my desk which is pretty exciting :-)

I'm not sure throwing stones onto a running track is a good idea?

You've never trained with Argie, I find.

I (we, there were 5 of us) once got chased by yoofs on mopeds while out on a club run through Bulwell*. They threw insults rather than stones, which was a stroke of luck in Bulwell.

* Bulwell for those who don't know Nottingham, is a shit hole. Not quite as bad as St Annes, but worse than Clifton.

Oh of course. I would probably have got there (at least geographically) as a second guess eventually.
