You don't need to stand on the wrench or use your whole body weight to tighten them, over torquing (tightening) is almost as bad as having a couple loose.

I don't have the manual with me but 70-80 ft. lbs. should be more than adequate and easy to overdo even with a wrench like that if you are of average size and fitness.
