He did probably 6 singles, unloaded the bar, ran to the leg press and loaded it with 10 plates on each side. Then he looked panicked b/c there was nowhere to put ONE MORE PLATE so he leaned it on the sled, and went to work. I think he was probably getting half reps if that but he did several. Then added a plate and lather rinse repeat.
But if front pin squats are a thing I don't want to make fun of him.
