I agree with what you have posted, but it can also be a complete demoralising as well, put it this way, I have pushed over 1300lbs for reps on my leg press machine. A person who is relatively new to training or someone who lacks motivation could look at that and say my 100 lb on the leg press is wasting my time and give up training. It is one of the main reasons that people give up training after starting in the gym normally in January, they realise that to lift bigger weights or to build quality muscle has to take a long time and a lot of effort with regard to training and nutrition....
Just my opinion.....Unless of course (as I said before) you are into powerlifting or olympic weight lifting
