I'm leg pressing 140kg at the moment and can go higher over the next few weeks - 180-240kg is a fckn champion of an effort! And yes, the DOMS will be strong! mwahahaha
i've seen a dude with literally every available plate and his friend sitting on the machine pump them out the other day - would have been 500kgs+ ...and the record is over 1000, so i wasnt sure if i was good or a bit shit haha

Its all well and good loading up the leg press amchine with all these weighs, but the important thing is to but using a full ROM, far to often i see people load the machine up with a heap of weight (as it is easy to do and "looks" impressive) then do half or quarter ROM leg press.....
I modify feet positioning during sets. This gym does not have a calf machine (don't know the proper name for it) - are people for / against going straight legged (flat foot to balls of feet) to replicate this movement on leg press or not?

I've done that in the past, probably replicates a standing calf raise more than a seated one though (upper calf), you'd still want to do seated calf raises (just put a plate on your knee sitting on a bench with a block under front of feet).
My office is full of waifs and Indian contractors - no sports, no fitness, no nothing. There is one other guy I know a floor down who goes to Doherty's after work, and we're about it.
I think the others all think, "if he can be bothered to do it, why not let him".
For me i dont feel rushed, it keeps me motivated and focused throughout the workout, i still get in 4 - 5 and occassionally 6 exercises of 3 sets in approx 40 mins workout time.
