On Friday it did 3 reps, and then 1 rep on the leg press at 925 pounds.

I've been working a lot on legs and don't really have anyone in real life interested in hearing random gym brags. I wanted to share.

For completely arbitrary reasons I want to break 1000 pounds 1RM and I think I'm really, really close.

Congratulations. I can barely do 225 but 10 reps.

However, make sure to go full ROM.

Always full ROM. This week I'm going lighter weights on things in preparation for a 1k attempt next week, but be assured I'm bottoming out on my squats.

Excellent, my dude!

There is a leg press machine at my gym which doesn't go full depth ("for the safety of the clients"). I have to put a bunch of yoga mats behind my back to get any depth. Such a pain to setup.
