How many standard 45 lb Olympic plates can be loaded on each side?

I don't know because I only have 2 45 lb Olympic plates, but I've added additional 25 lb plates along with 10 and 5's. I would estimate at least 5 on each side.

I have only four plates. If put on one side there seems to be at least room for one more plate and a collar. Did not measure at all.

At least 6 per side. I uploaded a pic with 4 iron plates + 1 thick 55# rubber plate and still room for one more.

This machine can hold 5-6 45's per side(Which is 450-540lb). I wouldn't recommend it though. This machine is more than enough for any weight lifter unless you are extremely strong and have a reason to pull 400+...

You could use standard plates you'd need at least a 7ft bar for this bench tho. The leg extension can use both standard and olympic size weights has a plastic sleeve that can be removed.A 6 ft bar would not leave you much room to increase weight on the bar.

Sorry, I may have messed up my answer, but the rack holds both regular and Olympic plates.

I haven't looked for 45 lb plates. I'm sure you can find them, I'd say the diameter of the bars are about 1 inch. However, I am not sure if the bar can hold over 120 lb. It's sturdy but only for the given weights; anything over the 100 lb weights given would make me nervous when using it with the bar.

Hello this machine can hold quite a bit of weight, I've loaded each stack with 2, 45lb plates (270lbs),but make sure you get the Olympic adapter sleeves because the machine itself will only hold standard weights. Body solid carries a very good adapter sleeve, they offer2, a short one & a longer sleeve go with the longer one. They are easy to attach.

This particular model is only for Olympic plates. I needed also to buy collars as the weights will not stay in place. 2 inch collars if I remember correctly. I do recomend this machine. If its not available at this time then it should be back again later as was my case.

My husband uses this more than I do. We bought the adapters for Olympic plates as well. My husband does tricep push downs with a 45 and a 25 on each side with no problems. But he says it feels heavier than the one at the gym. He says you could probably put 180 on it but it would feel like more than 180. Hope this helps!

I purchased and olympic weight set prior to purchasing the bd-7. I have a 7 foot bar, 4 10 pound plates, 2 25 pound plates, 2 35 pound plate, and 2 45 pound plates. I also have 2 five pound plates and 2 2.5 pound plates, all olympic sized and they fit fine on the rack. I also have a 5 foot olympic bar and it just barely fits. So If you go to a sports store, you can look for a olympic weight lifting set and it should fit fine. I also purchased the dip bar attachement to the rack and love it. This is a great rack and I recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed!

This piece of equipment requires weights to be placed on the three spindles on the top platform. The weights are not included in the price of this unit. The spindles are narrow, and will not snugly accommodate the 2" hole in a standard Olympic plate, but adaptors are sold which solve this problem. As to what kind of plates to purchase, that depends on what type of plates you may already own, any additional equipment you may have, and what plans you may for additional equipment. I do highly recommend checking Craig's List for used plates.

I've used 45 pounds on it with no problem whatsoever. The chain is quite long and probably could hold 4 45's lengthwise and possibly weight-wise. What size plates did you have in mind?

The leg developer will be using the 2" Olympic sized plates. This bench does not come with a bar so that would depend on the user and which bar they purchase.Thank you.

Ive never tested the absolute limits of this machine but You could fit 5 45lb plates on either side. Thats a lot of weight to lift. The cable is definitely strong enough and the pulleys seem adequate.

This a standard, not Olympic bar. I have only used 25 lb standard weights, and can fit 4 per side at least.

It already comes with Two - 2.5 lb plates. But if you want to use weights from another manufacturer I wouldn't know for sure. It depends.

Same as a standard 45 lb Olympic straight bar. I use everything from 2.5 lb to 45 lb Olympic plates. I also use the same collars as on the standard straight Olympic bar.
