What's Your Horizontal Leg Press?

**TW12T3D** · 09-02-2005, 12:47 PM

WHAT IS EVERYBODY'S USUAL HORIZONTAL WORKOUT WEIGHT ... AND HORIZONTAL MAXIMUM WEIGHT???

**MyK** · 09-02-2005, 01:00 PM

180 lbs one leg (sets).

I had my knee reconstructed. I do this exercise after 4 sets of squats.
I do my left leg first(weak knee) and match the reps with my right.

I have never maxed out!

I don't think anyone maxes on horizontal leg press. Actually, most people don't do them at all.

whats all this 20 reps crap? you need to do a lower number of reps with higher weight

**ihateschoolmt** · 09-02-2005, 02:38 PM

Wow, that's a terrible routine. Why the high reps? Why all the machine work?

**TW12T3D** · 09-02-2005, 02:43 PM
