Matrix Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Cathy is an amazing athlete, those lifts are outstanding :clap: I think she also used to bounce disorderly female patrons out of her bar, that must have been a hoot to watch her "Cathy Handle" 55kg drunk, abusive girls out of the pub.

bigbird Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Today was AWESOME, I did Legpress!8 x 260kg8 x 260kg8 x 280kg and then 8 x 300kg What a buzz, that was at my PT's gym and I think alot of legpress machines are different I have the feeling that I am not so strong on the one at the gym (seems to have a different angle) will have to try next week.But who cares anyway I still busted it out. I would love to see a female legpress 500kg's I think that's amazing, what a mission getting all those plates on :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
