By the time your legs were fully extended when pressing in the 590 lift, it topped out at 1,060. I did about... maybe 10 reps of that overall. Did a few, stopped bit, few more, etc. Those 10 reps were over the course of a half hour or so. The scary thing about that was, when you pressed your legs out completely, there was so much weight pushing your lower back into the seat it was actually very painful to deal with. Plus the fact I had sneakers on it felt like I was barefoot, cause the foot pedals hurt like hell.
