Talk:Leg press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Pat Robertson

Although Pat Robertson's 2000 pound leg press is impressive, I don't think it is a record, nor do I think it deserves its own section. Ronnie Coleman has videos of him pressing 2250 pounds. I don't know what the source of that 1300 pound "record" is, but I don't think it's an actual record. I can leg press 1000 pounds over ten times in a row and I am not an athlete or professional powerlifter. I know a person who can leg press over 1600 lb. I think I will eliminate the section and replace it with another section on the magnitude of a leg press.Alex Klotz 23:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Pat Robertson is 76 years old and his claim to be pressing 2000 lbs is part of the promo for his energy drink. It is, in other words, highly suspect. The video he has realized only purports to show him pressing 1000 lbs. I think it should be included as a noteworthy episode, but not as any kind of established record.
