    How much do I lift; 50 to 80 lb. hay bales, sometimes more, and how many reps? Until the trailer is empty and the hay stacked. For grain bags, 50 lbs.

    I don't do squats, etc., any of that gym stuff. I've never been to a gym.

    Squats - best ever (May this year) - 319 for a single, platform 264, current working max due to injury 220.
    Deads - platform 368. Same injury effects deads, just hit 208 for a single today.
    Shoulder press (push press is generally what I'm programmed for - 100 for a single
    Bicep curl - usually use 25's for 8
    Lat pulldown- can't remember the last time I did them
    Bench press - 176 in the gym, 170.5 on the platform.
    Leg curl/leg extension - my gym doesn't even have these.

    All weights converted from kg which is why some of them look odd

    So now I am wondering why my leg extension is so low. I mean if I try to do several reps of like 60 pounds it seems to kill my muscles right above my knee. Is this just a weak area for me or am I doing something terrible wrong?!

    Are you using the machine or the one you can add plates to?

    I just started doing 5x5 Stronglifts a month ago. I started off with just a 44lb. bar.

    Deadlift 85 lbs (but I always feel like I could do more, probably why it progresses quicker than some other lifts)
    Squat 85 lbs
    Bench 85 lbs
    Overhead Press 50 lbs
    Row - 80 lbs

    I'll be trying 90 today on DL, squats, and bench. Overhead not so much....

    a machine, I have always had trouble with this and now that I have seen an average of others lifting well over It has me wondering....as I look back in the post I see that someone asked if leg extensions were same as leg press.... Seems I am just weak at this and need to work on it :neutral:
