Weight-Lifter's Trivia

If you did 9-plates on either side for a leg-press... how much weight would you be leg-pressing

[Torment]

Do all the leg press machines out there have the same weight increments on their plates?

 

[INRM]

Let's keep guessing

[Walter Wayne]

Royal Dalton plates? or a cheap knock off?

 

[Badger]

The term "plate" in the gyms I used to go to referred to the 45 pounders. So 18 plates (9 plates per side on a leg press machine) would be 810 lbs.

Of course, the machine itself has some weight also, but the guys usually wouldn't take that into account.

 

[shemp]

I once ate 9 plates of fried shrimp in one sitting.

Leg pressing 810 pounds? That sounds high. I've done 520 myself.

Then maybe the answer is zero.

The weight you would be leg pressing would be approximately nine plates on each side.

Yes, it's a lot. But it's not out of the realm of dedicated bodybuilders/powerlifters, and steriod freaks.

I've seen a movie where shemp gets hit in the head with 9 plates.
