Ever since my son and I did the Toyota lift I've been explaining to people that there is nothing special about us and that virtually anyone can get strong enough to lift that much weight if they train rationally using static contraction principles.

I know there are many of you out there training on the Streamline machine who can lift the equivalent of a Toyota or even more. So I'd like to ask you to send in a picture or video clip of you performing a leg press with the meter displaying the weight as you do the press.

If you read this page of the website you'll know that the equivalent weight on the Streamline is 1,819 pounds. (Because we lifted the car on a 45 degree angle and that's easier than lifting it straight up and down. On the Streamline the weight reading is honest so 1,819 pounds is equal to loading 2,573 on a conventional leg press machine.)

Frankly, I'm pretty excited to see what you guys send in. I know many of you can do a lot better than my son and I and I'm wondering how high "up" is. And just to make it a bit more fun we'll award a prize to the person who sends in our favorite story/photo/video. (Not necessarily the highest weight lifted.)

The prize is this Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 6MP Waterproof MPEG4 waterproof video camera. The sole criterion for selecting this prize is that I think it's very cool and I want one for myself. So I figure if I want one most people would too. (Does that imply a big ego? I don't mean it to, I just mean that I'm basically the same as most other guys and the idea of having a small video camera, that can go in a pool, on a boat, skiing or whatever seems very cool to me.) Plus this video camera has great ratings at Amazon.

We'll give everyone a few weeks to make sure you don't have to rush and are fully recovered before your recorded lift. What we're looking for is a few words from you about your training and and a digital photo or a video clip of you performing the leg press with 1,819 pounds (827 Kg) or more on the Streamline. We'll put some of your stories and images on the web so we'll also need your permission to do that. If you have any questions about this you can send them to Contest@SuperRepEquipment.com
