PR at the gym

My group trainer uses a computer program to calculate the 1 rep max at each assessment, but I keep surpassing it (much to my surprise). I think I would like to determine my current 1-rep max for leg presses the old fashioned way. I think squats are better for me in the long run as it is more of a whole-body exercise than a stationary leg press, and my t-spine is finally getting loose enough that we are starting to do a bit of that. That being said, leg presses are useful and it is pretty cool that I can do this It does make me feel better when I can't push press an unweighted 45-lb bar bell though I CAN now push press an unweighted 35 lb BB

I just noted a typo in my original post that I can't change - the official weight for that last set was 430, not 410.
