450 pound leg press is wild. Are you using good form?

Really it’s 270 lbs (3 45 lb plates on each side) but my trainer counts the heavy bar and plate for your feet as well. Another gym I go to states the weight of it without any weight on it too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Perhaps I should say 270 lbs instead but my personal record is 360 lbs 4 plates on either side. & yes good form or I wouldn’t be able to walk lol

How can you find out the weight of those things? I didn’t even consider the weight of the plate lol

No idea lol I was told it counts but never really considered it to. From now on I think I’ll just count the plates itself. Maybe it was weighed before assembling?

I know most bars weigh 45 pounds. But I use a trap bar for deadlifts and I never counted the weight of the bar because I just didn’t know what it was. It definitely is more accurate to count the weight of everything but idk how to even get that number lo

Trap bars are my go to for deadlifts too. I feel more in control and have better form with it equally balanced especially with the same hand placement.

And I don’t gash my shins every other week with trap bars 😂

lol reasons!! I’m more focused with a trap bar to keep good form. Too many things can do sideways and I have ended lifting with my back other ways so the trap bar it is!
