You are reading a post written by the woman who holds the female leg press record at her gym! 1 clean rep of 820 lbs. Whoohooo! That would be a personal record for me!!

That said, I have no idea how that compares in the real world, but for now, right here in my little part of Houston, I'm pleased.and am hopeful that I am at the least maintaining muscle mass (if not building some) despit the RNY.  Maybe I am doing something right!

That's great.  I'd say that you compare very well anywhere!  Remember when Ogre got beat in an arm wrestling contest on The Revenge of the Nerds.  Well, I feel like he did.
