Pretty weird... so your leg press numbers are that weak? How come you can half squat more than me then?

I think my best leg press numbers were about 350 kg (770 lbs) x 5 or something like that, deep leg presses. And that was a LONG time ago.

vag · « **Reply #1711 on:** January 12, 2013, 12:40:07 pm »

My right leg is the weak one, the left ( injured ) is significantly stronger. E.g., when i could do max 2 pistol squats with right i could do 10 with left.
But anyway, you know i hate comparing incomparable things. Different persons , different levers, different muscle balances, different leg press machines, maybe different stance / bar position / depth at the squats... i am against comparing. And i don't even want to get into the deep leg press / half squat correlation issue...

Haha. Still it's such a big difference... it's pretty weird. I haven't tried to max out on the leg press nowadays though, so who knows how much I suck now?

I also feel a lot of posterior chain when I'm leg pressing unless I really really focus on pushing with the balls of the feet... wtf...

Bodyweight@session : ~191
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches :

LEG EXTENSIONS:
15@35lbs each leg
15@35lbs each leg

Tempo 3:3:3

LEG PRESS MACHINE:
15@75 lbs each leg

Tempo 4:1:4

BENCH PRESS:
7@143 ( +1 rep )
6@143 ( same )
6@143 ( +1 rep )
Total : 19 ( +2 reps )
-Improvement but i wanted more.

SEATED CHEST SUPPORTED MACHINE ROWS:
10@143 ( +2 reps )
9@143 ( +1 reps )
8@143 ( same )
Total : 27 ( +3 reps )
-Nice here, upping load next time.

-Quad feels 100% again , powerful , springy , not the slightest bugging all day. Learned my lesson though, no squats , not even pushing it to test it ( e.g. pistol squats ). Rehab FTW.
I did up the loads on both leg extensions and leg presses, felt good. I tried and could do ~30% heavier on both totally bugless but prefered to keep it safe. Doc/MRI might have to wait 1 week , too hectic program lately.
-Curious to see what will happen with BW/composition. Looks like it stabilized at 187 dry / 191 wet. Too soon to evaluate though, it feels like it hasn't reached a steady balanced state after holidays + plan change yet.
Been steady with 3000 clean kcals on workout days, failed a bit on the no workout days though, 2K instead of ~1700, at least its also clean. Hoping to fix that this week.

So i've been reading everything i could find about quad strain assesment/rehabilitation. It seems that i have an absolutely typical grade ii rectus femoris strain that i made chronic because of oversue/poor rehab.

Dude , WTF??? Why did it take me 8 months(!!!) to read the relevant stuff? There are specific guidelines of what NOT to do and i failed in all of them, repeatedly. Had i read those articles in time , quad would have been healed in 1 month or so. And now here i am , 8 months later and still not at 100%. Fucking moron. I can't believe how dump i have been. Ok , i have never had a serious muscle injury in my whole life , so it's weird to handle that suddenly for the first time at 38y.o. But still, that's no excuse, i should have known better. Duh , i am really dissapointed, all i did was wait for a couple of days of no pain and then go back to squatting. Or even worse, performing cleans, snatches,supramax explosive box squats, full court basketball, and even ME jumping on concrete, WTF! And then, Monday night after training, I had like an epiphany. I can now look back at it with clear mind and see how i acted and i can't believe how stupid/irresponsible/immature/arrogant/naive i was! Dude , fuck the fuck off, get your shit straigt, bleh...

Mikey · « **Reply #1717 on:** January 17, 2013, 04:35:14 am »

At least you know what's wrong with it now so it'll finally heal. Injuries are the worst part of sport/athletics/training etc.

Yeah no need to buy them if you cant use them.

Go fix that leg. My knee fixing is going the right way. Hope thats true for you too.
