I am sure this is the wrong place to put a question about fitness, seeing as how this is a site for playing video games and all. Anyway, if there is anybody on here who knows anything about leg presses please feel free to lend a hand or foot. I wanted to know what the maximum weight a leg press machine can hold is. I know its more than 800, but I dont know how much more. My gym, hell, they dont know anything. Its like working out in a dungeon. Anywho... if anybody knows, let me know.

It varies with different machines. The ones we have at my school only go up to 450. So its not to hard to do all of it, and impress some girls at the same time. Really you should be able to do 200-300 ilbs if you are in decent shape and have done activity that involves using your legs. (Basically any sport) The maximum wait is probably somewhere around 1000ilbs as your legs are much stronger then your arms.

Ive seen signs in places that say the leg press can not hold more than 950 and in some 850 etc. Im up over 800 lbs as it is. I realize I cant be hurt from the sudden breaking machine, but I would like to avoid such an event. Was just looking for input from different places around the world. Now, if somebody lives near a Golds or Worlds gym, plz take a look and drop me a line. Thanks pwnd.... funny stuff. Though your last line confused the hell out of me, legs are stronger than legs?

Opps meant arms my fault. I think that certain machines can hold more weight then others. I am not really sure though. I will ask a friend whos stepmom works at Golds.
