Did Ricky Hatton really legpress 500 KG?

I wondered why he only went down 3or 4 inches myself. I'm sure they have there reason's though. That's still not bad for a man as small as Hatton.

Not a full press, but still very impressive.

Considering a 5'6 guy who fought at jr welterweight / welterweight

[oovavu]

Well, in this case his shortness actually helps.

And it's not a news that Hatton is very physically strong, many people before had pointed this out.

I think I read in a tabloid that Wayne Rooney beat him in an arm wrestle.

Useless information of course.

Clearly you have never done heavy lifting then. The range of motion ricky was doing would make him the laughing stock at any respectable gym. Weight adds up greatly with proper form. Those "leg presses" were a joke and I'm surprised they were bragging about it and worse, showing it on TV!

You're right. We call people in our gym that do that Arthur Rep (half a rep).

If he would have flexed his knees fully then tried to push the weight back up you'd have seen him struggle a lot more. I'm sure I could bench an extra 40kg of what I do now if I only lowered the bar to half way down.

I dont buy it...1,150 pounds? Can a guy who weighs 65 KG leg press that much?

Yeah he did, but they werent close to full leg presses, they were probably only 1/4th of a full leg press.

lol anyone who thinks those are legs presses hasnt spent a hour in a gym in his lifeHe barely bent his knees. I like those guys who put a ton on wieght on a bar/machine and either need 3 people spotting them to complete one rep.Or they do baby reps and get up like theyre strong lol.
