New PB - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Timmy Smooth · 22-08-2006, 11:28 AM

Hey,

well pleased - I got a new PB on the Leg Press yesterday.

My old PB was 500kgs for 7 reps. I set that about the start of the year. Then I had about 8 weeks off and got fat and weak. Then fighting back since.

So I warmed up, then did 510kgs for 3 reps. I found them tought, but thought what the f*ck, I'll go for one rep at 520. But I managed 3 more reps at 520kgs and actually felt a lot better than the 510's. So I went up once more, and managed 3 reps at 530kgs (1170lbs). The felt decent, too, so I was really pleased.

But what made it sweet for me is that I'm 4 weeks post-cycle, having cut from nearly 100kgs (210lbs or so) to about 88kgs (194lbs) at 5'9''. Normally I wouldn't be happy with my weight being this side of 200lbs, but after talking to Stu I'm confindent that the best measure to go buy is not weight, but how I look anyway. And I'm reasonably content with how I'm looking now, and have a good base to work from now. And I've got my sights set on a 600kg press. It's a while off, and I'll have to find a gym with a press that can take it, but I reckon I've got it in me if I maintain my current effort/progress.

i hit a cieling with my leg press a while ago,.....dunno the weight 8 x25 per side and a couple on top .......

so i started single legging it ,

it really helped ......

kills the hips to start wi but i guess once i conditioned the supporting muscles , this is what helped to bump it up a bit.....

yeah! and what he sez^^ lets have a taster of the new Mr Smooth

Well, I don't know about cut Timmy. Reasonably Toned Timmy maybe. Abs are there, but no central seperation to speak of - I never ever do abs work, so they're just flat and practical. I've just started doing a bit, but like arm work, I find it really boring. I'll have to perservere, /I guess, to make the most out of the leaness. And you might get a leg pic next month....

I thought you were going to put something in like 50 lashes of the riding crop from the Japanese Dom you met!

nice one Timmy! Get some pics up! Im finding each time I do legs im hitting a new PB most recently leg pressing 180kgs

Timmy Smooth · 29-08-2006, 06:33 PM

Cheers Cap. The size is there, but I've just started to try more isolation and alternatives in my leg routines, and more reps, to try and get more definition to heads/teardrops etc. Wouldn't hurt if I could lose 1% more BF, too, and I'm sure I could relatively easily if I just did some cardio on my lunch hour, but been putting it off for the past 3 weeks....
