It was squat, not leg press. The difference is important because a 700 pound squat is significantly harder than a 700 pound leg press.
To answer your question, Hurts mostly developed the ability in high school. As a senior Hurts squatted 570 pounds at a powerlifting meet. He then squatted 600 pounds in college. Here is an article with a video of him squatting 500 pounds in high school that mentions he maxed at 570.
This is kind of what I mean when I say that these guys are about as strong as they will ever be by the time they hit the pros.
