No, they are done on a dip station with either a special belt with a chain that holds the weight or you hold a plate between your feet or knees. Here's a link to demo here.

But, dips can be done the way you are talking also. Just on dip station you can somewhat control from your position if you are more directly targeting your triceps or your chest. They are KILLER for triceps, IMO.

I lowered the weight I was doing on the leg presses because it was too much, couldn't finish the supersets following them. No problem with them today and made workout quicker as didn't need as much recovery time between sets. I need to lower the weight on SLDL next week for same reason.

Nice looking Journal, Chip. I see that your doing your best to right align all the sets/reps info on the right. Cool. Note that by using a font that sports a uniform character width, you can more easily get the exact alignment that you're look for:

Leg presses on 45* sled........................400x8x5

Superset:
Sissy squats....................................BWx8x3
Seated leg extensions..........................120x8x3

Superset:
SLDL..........................................245x 8x3
Lying leg curls....................133x8, 130x8, 130x6

Hyperextensions................................25x 8x3

Standing calf raise machine...................300x10x3
Plate loaded rotarty calf single leg......140x8, 135x8
Seated calf raise single leg.............100x10,110x10

Cable crunches................................150x10x3
Weighted incline crunches......................45x10x2
Knee-ups on flat bench............................15x2


In this case, the font was changed to Courier New, using the formatting options in the 'Reply to Thread' dialog. Simply highlight your text, then change the font using the drop-down font menu. Obviously, you'll only want to change the font for this table portion of your post.

It's a little bit awkward to create your table of info using the 'Reply to Thread' dialog since you're not actually working with the Courier New font (but rather Arial ... or whatever font is standard for your system). One thing that you might do would be to actually create the workout portion of your post using an word processing application that allows for the use of Courier New (or any uniform character width font). This will allow you to visually get your spacing correct. Then simply copy/paste into the 'Reply to Thread' dialog. After performing the paste, you'll then need to use the drop-down font menu, as noted above.

Oh, one last note. I've notices that if you run more than 56 characters in a line, this forum software pads with an extra space character. You can see it creeping in on some of your posts. In this sample, the table is exactly 56 characters wide.
