Yeah - 2 plates aside on a barbell is 225 (180 + 45). You’re pushing good weight nonetheless.

I think I am back to 6 aside for leg press. The 5 aside I was talking about is for a standing leg press but it’s highly levered. There is a Swedish machine— a plate aside kicks your as until you get used to it.

The standing leg press.. are you talking about a hack squat? I also do a duo squat pushing 185 lbs one leg at a time.

I’m not sure what this machine is called. Harder to explain. It does allow to push more weight than other machines comparatively.

Hmm take a picture of it.. I’m curious. Some machines and set ups I have no idea what they are called. On the hack squat I do 120 lbs so definitely less than what I do on the leg press and duo squat machine. However everyone is different.

I’ve never seen that before!!

It’s the same brand but not quite exact but very close to this one.
