There's a pin-loaded seated leg press machine thingy I've used a couple of times, but unfortunately even on the max weight setting I still manage sets of 12+ reps lol

I like doing single-leg incline press with ~100kg loaded up after whatever my main leg exercise was (squats or proper leg press).

Fortunately for me, our leg presses use the old thin holed 25kg plates, which only fit on that and the smith machine. So our plates stay in the area or on the leg press itself...usually find 8 plates already on there thanks to a lazy individual.

not sure if it's been posted yet but:

guy faints squatting 180kg (vid inside link)

Think we've all seen this before...

Honestly, any gym where guys are trying to squat probably 2x or more of their body weight on a front squat is going to have the potential for failure, nothing special about it being in Markos gym, other than if it was a commercial gym it would've been 120kg instead.


When I thought I'd badly done my back I fully dropped the bar on the safeties hard core, there was just no video.

Sometimes we will fail.

You know what else helps squats and deads?

I started a new thread on Marty and put up his NEW video after I started getting calls from news networks.

This is going to get bigger.

Funny how nobody wants to know about his 290kg deadlift but theyre all over a missed front squat lol

I'm surprised you're not getting told off for making your lifters do unsafe things like squats LOL

This..

Imagine that bloke from L33sh's Gym reaction if someone tried that at his gym lol He would of had a coronary

    • Cheers for the tips, I'll go with 50 mm around the side, I'm used to digging with hand tools, my prior occupation had me going well with hand tools and there's nothing that a breaker bar and a pair of gloves to protect my delicate hands can't fix, hopefully...  As my time now is free, if it takes a week to excavate that's not a issue
    • That's a pretty big job card assuming you're not planning on any machinery. I hope your dirt/rock ratio is not like ours, hand digging up here is very hard work I use the Mitre 10 in Sloane St or Gehl's Nursery where I can rather than Bunnings, but for bulk material everything (Goulburn Sand and Soil, Rocky Hill Sand and Soil) and is owned by Divalls (as is about 80% of town) so no point shopping around. Let me know if you need to borrow a ute or box trailer. BTW we also went with 7mm blue metal around the house, mostly for fire but also termites. You really need compacted road base under it then no more than about 50mm of rocks because otherwise they shift too much under foot. We also put corten edging to stop it spreading outside its area over time.
    • I'm not certain about the fuel hat connectors (noting, I DID have to replace the hat in my Stagea with one of these pumps) However, you 100% do need to do a properly sized relay mod, the factory wiring is definitely too small for these pumps.
