This may seem a small accomplishment, but I am very pleased with a PR this morning. I had my Thursday morning trainer session which focuses on the upper body, and afterwards I headed to the leg press machine to do some lower body work. While I didn't start at this weight, of course, my final set was 430 pounds for 6 reps - which is 3.33 times my body weight. I still had more in me, but decided that was enough work for one day - especially since I did my "official" 1-rep max for 6 times. My legs didn't even feel stressed after that - much to my surprise, and my knee was quite happy. This was using the plate machine, so I manually loaded 410 pounds of plates. Who knows what the sled weighs, I don't factor that in.
