Ted William's frozen head Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 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.

mitchmurraydowntown Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I like thick women too, but there are limits. Yeah, A pulse & a wet spot.
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!

thebandit27 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Torell Troup would be better served if he called together all the iron throwing monsters on TBD and glean from them all their insight and wisedom on weight training. I am altering my routine immediately. You guys are inspiring. Arnold Schwarzenegger can't compete with this group. Unbelievable, isn't it?
boyst Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I can leg press 30 lbs 700 times. That I do not believe, that would be... amazing. It's like benching the bar 100 times.
The Big Cat Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Anyone else recognize that movie? Cool Runnings It took a couple ticks the first time, but it soon becomes obvious!
OldTimer1960 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) You must mean bicep curls. Leg presses with anything less that 2,000 lbs is a joke. 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
first_and_ten Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 At this point Troup is an afterthought. A nice bonus if he can come in and play. 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.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I can leg press 30 lbs 700 times. Glad to see good humor and perspective have regained control of this thread after an early rough outing.
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

The guy's back obviously cannot handle the stress of the position he plays unfortunately. That's actually pretty cool. I am positive I can do all of that, minus the swimming part. 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.
