Priceless moment today in the gym...
...there was this guy doing leg presses. He was about 45 years old, maybe about 5'10" and 180 lbs. soaking wet and a physique not to be desired by a person with anorexia and he sported the almighty wife beater. This mother****er had the max weight which was 900 lbs. loaded on to the sled for his warm-up set. Unfortunately, I missed his warmed up set. His buddy, the 75 year old gym teacher, tells me that he is the strongest man he's ever seen.
I came back and told the man on the leg press, hey, you know that you can change the resistance of the machine so that you don't have to load the entire machine, because it was completely full. So he says, "Yeah." and I just walked away and shook my head in disbelief.
Finally, I get to witness his set and I watched the whole thing. His eccentric was about 3 inches down and then back up to Locked knees, while pressing on his knees with his hands hard!
And may he go with god, because his next set he loaded another 130 pounds(lying ontop of the sled, not secured in anyway). Yep, he banged out another set of 6 reps with mind-blowing form!
The third set comes around, loads another 100 pounds. Fails on the first try unrack the sled, I thought he blew out his knees, but apparently didn't because about 5 minutes later he banged out the third set with the same form and then proceeded to clap and be all pumped up and sh.it.
