That doesn't sound completely horseshit, I was a pretty thin kid when I did XC/Track and my first max-tested leg press was ~335 pounds whilst I was 125-130 pounds, though I wasnt 5'9", more like 5'7".Poseidon wrote:

The leg press is relatively easy to perform at high weights compared to a proper strength benchmark such as the squat because you are lifting the weight at a 45 degree angle and don't tax your body stabilizing and supporting the load. From what I've read, 1.8 is a good ratio of leg press weight to squat weight, meaning that Shifty's 120 kg leg press translates into a 66.7 kg squat, which is 147 pounds. I did that weight easily as a skinny, weak, 135 pound freshman in high school.
warman. hes not a twig.

Shifty, you have plenty of time to avoid being to skinny when you physical condition matters. Go to the workout thread, devise a productive regime, and go the weight room in your high school and take a weightlifting PE class, if there is one, to help perfect form.
