Parsons squatting 425lbs with ease is unreal

[diamonddelts]

I have skinny legs and can leg press 450 on leg machine. Not really that impressive. And 120lb side dumbbell rows. And I am 6 foot 182 lbs of solid muscle and 67 years old.

Leg press machine is much easier and not comparable to a free weight squat.

I’m just saying it’s hard to say he can do 600 based on 425 for 3, whether he moved it easy or not.

Agree

Never accuse this kid of not taking care of business during the off-season............once his mental game catches up with his physical talent, no one can stop him.

He can likely bench press 425. WR Joey Galloway benched 405 when he was with the Cowboys...

I've heard that Tyron has benched over 600.

Parsons has to stay explosive for baby mama number three coming soon.

Parsons needs to slow it down on the weight training or he'll end up like our once great LBer Sean Lee!

Forgive my ignorance on the benefits of this type of lifting. But what benefit is this for a LBer? It seems like an unnecessary strain on your back and knees.

I say this because recently I watched a Ronnie Coleman (body builder) video and it's said that power lifting/dead lifting and squatting stupid amounts of weight is what caused his back and other parts of his body to fail him.

I know he's an alpha and he does alpha things like this, but this worries me. Can someone educate me on this?

Proper form and warm up. Yes, lifting can be very hard on your body. As you get older you learn the hard way about dynamic stretching prior and warming up and into a weight.

I know you used to train in
College we discussed that when I first became a member here. . Squatting abilities and bench pressing, do not coincide. just because you’re strong with your front quads doesn’t mean the back are equal.

That is not really a whole lot. I was squatting 300 lbs as a sophmore in high school and i was 125 lbs

Logged in just to LOL at anybody that thinks doing half *** reps like practically every clown I’ve ever seen on the leg press machine relates to anything like a barbell, full rep squat……

 

[Scotman]

I used to squat 340 every time I got off the toilet.....now it's only 275. Lol!

340-275? That was an impressive visit to the toilet!

Leg press is much different. I used to do full sets of 905, but no way my back could handle 450 squats.

Yeah, leg press is a joke, but nothing like it to make you feel like Hercules.

Joey Galloway was deceptively built, but wouldn’t have guessed 405.
