Check out the leg press.

They have welded extensions onto the bars for loading the plates onto.

hahaha, funny how no one ever needs to weld more weight on for barbell squats, every candy ass in the gym loads the plates on for leg press quarter reps.

I'm not good with the whole square footage thing.

I'd have to go with SMALL.

Nice pics Leigh!

I was lucky enough to train there while travelling a few years back. I hadn't touched a weight for a couple of months beforehand, I was sooooo sore afterward. Didn't care though, it was great just being there after seeing the pictures in the magazines.

Yeah I think if people get the chance they should really try and get in there.

It's all bout the experience.

There are so many photos on the wall, you find yourself drifting of between sets looking at them. Also heaps of contest posters from the 80's and 90's.
