Angled leg presses also differ a lot in weight, so the physio's recommendation only really makes sense if they know which machine will be used. Also, for a particular machine and weight, the difficulty changes a lot with foot placement (lower on the plate will generally be harder, which is why you see most people with feet placed too high if they are interested in improving quad hypertrophy/strength), depth (most people stop far too high) speed of rep, degree of pause at the bottom. I would hope the physio gave some advice about this form stuff. I would focus more on good consistent form and working up slowly ( but with enough challenge) than worrying about a particular (seemingly nonsensical) target weight recommendation.

Exactly! My physio only cared about how much I improved on his machine over time. In my gym I just found my starting point and slowly increased weight/reps etc

I’m not sure what your point is? My running coach knows what machines I’m using because they are either with me or know the gym I will be training in.
The question from @inchpincher was whether bw and 8x reps was too high/unrealistic

This is the leg press machine I would be using - those horizontal ones might be different.
