We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
Yea... I really don't know about that. I know I'm nowhere near that weight, but I do 500lbs, and my legs come wayyyyyy further back than this guy ever made it. I had a personal trainer show me how, and these were definitely not a leg press, more like a tiny calf extension. Plus, you are NEVER supposed to lock your knees, which you did twice. Enjoy a knee blowout dude.
no lets bend your legs and see if you could even do 1 rep.

I myself use a similar range of motion as to that being used by Joseph Holt. Unless you do not wish to seriously injure yourself for the rest of your life it is madness to attempt a full range of movement without the use of straps or a support belt. I personally commend the guy for an awesome demonstration of strength. Instead of people criticising what they have seen use it as a tool to fuel your own workouts and goals. At the moment, I can personally lift 1500IBS, completing 4 sets of 8 reps (without straps etc) and my own individual body weight is a mere 11 stones, 8IBS. Upon watching the video it encourages me to go much higher, and therefore please do not knock what the guy has achieved in the video as it is a waste of your time, time that could be used trying to beat what he has achieved in a gym. Well done Josepth!
either beat his record according to his vid and criteria, or make your own record, I see some bold ass comments about lifting insane amounts just because he's moving about an inch, please....... go ahead and try either and submit so we can be entertained..... good job bro your a powerful dude.....
I don't know how to classify this, but I think it's pretty clear that these are not "leg press repetitions". I used to put a bench under a squat rack and lift 800+ lbs several times to get my joints used to heavier weights... but to say that me lifting the weight several inches was the equivalent of a "bench press repetition" would be very silly. And, to be honest, it doesn't look like many of the reps even move 12"... not that I would consider that a rep anyway.

Great job Joe. Seems there are always haters who'd rather whine about what you did not do rather than surpass what you did do. Keep up the good work. Ike

You got a problem with reading comprehension? It doesn't say it was moved 12". It says to beat it YOU have to move it 12" without leg wraps or braces. Looks like you're the joke.

WHAT THE HELL? this is bs, little dumb lifts does not count as 1 rep. I can lift 1000000000 lb as long as i can just move it 1 inch? i'd like to set that record then.

LOL @ Naysayers....I'm so tired of seeing people jump on "oh that's not the way it's done" BS....tell you what kiddies, why don't you put up....otherwise, shut yer hole, nobody really cares....
Hi, this is Joe. The one who did the lift. You're right, it does appear shorter than a standard leg press, however, two factors forced me to do a shallow lift. 1) without the use of leg raps the knees are only equipped to take so much pressure, with leg raps I could have easily broken 2600. 2) If you watch in the beginning of the lift the weights begin to come off, the camera man has to rush over to help hold the weights as does my spotter. I welcome a challenge worth my time to do more weight lower but it would have to be for actual competition or monetary gain. Thanks for your comments.
Dave, can you provide some more specifics? Is there a way we can fork this record into two categories: one that follows Joseph's form and one that follows competition rules? Joseph, care to respond/defend?

These so called Lifts do not comply with regulation lifts as required in bona fide competition.. In fact we are unsure what you accomplished with this minimal display of prowess. Get a grip. Get a form call back when you have a grown up to compete. Dave

And what is your leg press dave? I press 1000 with one leg and don't use any performance enhancement.
