    Thanks for posting this, I use the leg press because I have had some back problems in the past because of my weight. I lift a lot on the leg press but don't go down that far because my belly gets in the way. I try to make it at least to a 45 degree angle and never lock my knees at the top.

    it's time to lower my weight and find a way to go lower to get the full range of motion.

    I wish I could...I'm workin on it tho. I just recently started even lifting...but I'm loving it!!! Right now I couldn't do a full squat to save my life.....you'd better put a tv down there....because once I'm down, I won't be up again for a minute :-)

    I was like that when I first started, haha! I've always had a love hate relationship with squats, but they work wonders for my butt!

    if youve gotten 1890 apf, you certainly had photographs or video of such a great personal achievement.

    What kind of bar is that anyways? Assuming it's actually not bowing with 500+ on it, that's something a company should brag about.

    its an oly bar, and the weight being more spread out because of the width of the bumpers (it was a crossfit gym) is why it didnt bend. if there was a heavy bar (100 lbs, like they use in real ipf competitions) it wouldnt bend with pig iron on it either.

    i dont think they make a 100lb bar man, and if they do IPF doesnt use it.

    For all powerlifting contests organized under the rules of the IPF, only disc barbells are permitted. The
    use of discs which do not meet the current specifications will invalidate the contest and any records
    accomplished. Only those bars and discs that meet all specifications may be used throughout the entire
    competition and for all lifts. The bar shall not be changed during the competition unless it is bent or
    damaged in some way as determined by the Technical Committee, Jury or Referees. Bars to be used at
    all IPF Championships shall not be chromed on the knurling. Only bars and discs that have official IPF
    approval may be used at IPF World Championships or the setting of World Records. As from 2008 the
    “knurling” distances on IPF approved bars will become universal/standard based on one of the
    originally approved bars.
    (a) The bar shall be straight and well knurled and grooved and shall conform to the following
    dimensions:
    1. Total overall length not to exceed 2.2 m.
    2. Distance between the collar faces is not to exceed 1.32 m or be less than 1.31 m.
    3. Diameter of the bar is not to exceed 29 mm or be less than 28 mm.
    4. Weight of the bar and collars are to be 25 kg.
    5. Diameter of the sleeve not to exceed 52 mm or be less than 50 mm.
    6. There shall be a diameter machined marking or the bar taped so as to measure 81 cm between
    marking or tape.

    pretty much dictates they use a standard 45lb bar
