2023-05-15, #11 - Leg Press (Work Set of 450 pounds for 10 reps)
The target muscles of the Leg Press are the Quadriceps, Buttocks, and Hamstrings. In view of the fact that the legs are probably the strongest part of your body and are essential for performing all proper lifting (whether in the gym or anywhere else in life), I like to perform 2 exercises in each workout for my legs.
If you're wondering what it says on my whiteboard, there are 4 words intended to inspire me for my workouts:
* Faith [Trust I can achieve my weightlifting goals for that day];
* Focus [Concentrate on the immediate rep of the immediate exercise];
* Progression [Add a iittle weight each week and/or another repetition or two]; and
* Persistence [Keep at it. Don't quit. Maintain excellent form and believe you can do it AS you do it.].
At the top of the whiteboard, there's also one verse from the Bible to inspire my soul for everything I do throughout my life:
"Let everything that has breath praise The LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6)
Essentially all my home gym equipment and weights were purchased from FitnessFactory.com, supplier of Body-Solid products and products from Rugged (such as my power rack, in which I do Bench Pressing and Squatting and Cable Rows). I've been a faithful customer of Fitness Factory since the 1990s, having furnished the home gym at my former San Francisco apartment exclusively with their products.
