in the gym last night,the lad who does strong man comps was doing legs.
he did at least 5 or 6 sets of proper deep squats up to 240kg,then went to the leg press where he was doing sets of 4 with 610kg on it.he didnt push his knees or did half reps.didnt video him as phone was in my coat.

I do worry about legs snapping off at the knee and the lower leg bones just straight impaling the dude through the chest.

if tony robinson and the sweaty bloke from cornwall come across ronnie colemans skeleton in 20,000 years.they will have a messed up idea what humans were actually like.

I find it amusing that colemans day job is as a police officer. I bet they don't bother with a riot squad is his town  :strongbench:

Assuming he has some kind of golf cart to chase you with. I bet those tree trunks don't move too fast.

Doesn't it depend on the angle of the leg squat as well as the weight? He's not taking the full weight on his legs unless the weight is moving vertically. Coleman's looks like lower angle than Hoy's - but that could just be the camera angle.

Yeah it works out at about 60% on the 45' leg press from what I've heard.

Well...

Fortitude is a kind of strength, right?

Amazing what a hair cut and a couple of creatine caps can do.  :-\

It's just that the feet (not Gill's (not gills either for that matter)) look wrong somehow, like not static, if that makes sense
