For my exercise physiology lab I had to find my 1RM for both leg press and chest press. I have always known that my legs are much stronger than my arms but I didn't have any idea how much more. I was able to leg press 470lbs and chest press 90lbs. Here is the catch. Those two values, using the strength to body weight ratios put me in the 99+ percentile for leg press and below the 10 percentile for chest press. Is that not distressing?!?! I don't understand!!! =) Oh well! At least I have strong legs right?!?!

Not too alarming considering our legs have to hold us up. :) You're such a strongy!! I miss you.
dude...I'd for sure be below the 10th percentile for arm strength, because I am a wooooosie. Holy strong legs Rolito! I can't wait to see you soon...what day to you get home for Thanksgiving??
That helps explain why you rock at soccer.
Loli-- that is a great picture of my legs huh! ;)
you are my leg hero!!
I'd way rather have strong legs - you are so amazing!
that is so like me too!! How funny to figure that out. Don't let it bring you down!
