Ted William's frozen head Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 On 3/14/2013 at 7:49 PM, 947 said: 700lbs on the leg press is far from impressive. You'll see regular 180lb guys in the gym every day doing high reps with that and more. He's also wearing knee wraps (which make it easier) and only doing about 60% range of motion. I'm sure Troup could double the weight & still do reps, and the vid is probably just his warm-up. He looks great. I hope he's healthy & ready to finally contribute. When I was still in one piece, I could leg press 1000 lbs.

Direhard Fan Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I don't lift. Never did. 67 and never will. That stat on him is impressive. Why not wish the guy the best and hope he does pan out. Be positive. The "D" is going to be on the field 45 minutes a game so we will need the guy.

How about you put up a vid and show us how much you can leg press for 30 reps. Freakin' Internet Mr. Olympia's. Edited March 15, 2013 by BEAST MODE BABY!

I am altering my routine immediately. You guys are inspiring. Arnold Schwarzenegger can't compete with this group. Unbelievable, isn't it?

I do 4,000 lbs on one leg just for warm ups. Then I get reAlly insane - wimpy pro athletes! Edited March 15, 2013 by OldTimer1960

But while I am rooting for the guy I certainly am keeping my expectations low. It would be nice if the Bills got some good results for a change.

TheFunPolice Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) http://www.menshealt...Your_Weight.php Advice for "regular guys" is to shoot for 2.25 times your body weight on the leg press. So, big whoop. The guy's back obviously cannot handle the stress of the position he plays unfortunately. Edited March 16, 2013 by TheFunPolice

I have no idea how much that would be or how long it takes me to swim a lap....
TheFunPolice Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm stronger than Troupe. I don't know what I can leg press because I don't do them, but I'm sure he could do more than me. I'm just saying that a 300+lb guy who works out ought to be able to leg press 750lbs. A pro athlete's numbers would be much higher, especially a lineman. Still, I wish the best for the kid. I just don't see what he's doing in this video as impressive.
Kkspike Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Leif Larson set the bench press record at the combine.i can't find his bust in canton.
