How many 45lbs plates are you able to put in each side?

Standard plates (the ones that fit this particular bar) don't usually come in 45 lb configurations. That size is usually associated with the Olympic (2") bar. The weight plate that does fit this bar is the 50 lb one and by own estimation, the bar should easily accommodate at least five on each side. Hope this helps...

It's for standard plates which are thinner (even 50 lbs ones) and could fit six of those on each side. If you are using Olympic plates with adapters, I'd estimate four or five.

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

The bar I bought takes 1" plates, not Olympic-style plates. I have a pair of 50s I keep on mine, and it could fit 8 or 10 on a side, though I don't know if the bar itself could handle that much weight. I've had low 300s on mine (I'm 68, my heavy days are over) and everything was fine.

The lower rungs can hold 4. On two of the sides, the spacing may be an issue for fitting other plates on the rung above it as well as the 45's on the bottom. The arms are tilted inward and won't tip for the plates.

I don't have many but the bar weighs 50 lbs and it can hold upto 750lbs. I think using my limited amount of plates that 4 or 5 plates per side would be easy for it. I have a picture of my plates on @whey2muscle twitter page.

You can yes, going off of memory you should be able to put 6 10 lb weights on each side to bring it up to 120lbs per bar.

I would say two comfortably, but you could probably do two people on each side if needed, although if they were eating, it would be pretty crowded with plates and utensils.

You should have 2 with your order. I am not sure if you can purchase the plates as I haven't looked into this, but I would think they would have covered. I am going to research this myself and could use a couple more myself.

I've put 115 on each side with no trouble at all. If I needed to, I could see 135 on each side. I do keep two 25 Lbs on each front peg on the floor and 80lb dumbells on each side over the base on the back to stabilize the Smith Machine after getting a little nervous when it first came and would strongly recommend you do the same if using a lot of weight.

Per the manufacture, If you are using the 2" 45 lbs plates you can get 6 plates on each rod. There are 3 rods so that is a total of 18 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.

2 on each of the long sides. The legs are set back from the ends about 4", so adding someone on the end might not be very comfortable.

I've loaded up 3 (45 LBS) plates on each side for shoulder shrugs with no issues. You can probably load more than that on them and they would take em.

I use 6 one at each corner and one at the center of the long sides. I have 2 Bichon Frises about 10 lbs each that I kennel in mine.

More than you can lift! CAP does make 25 lb weights with the same hole size as the ones that come with this set. You could physically put roughly 10 on each side.

You can fit 3 dinner size plates on it. It's actually quite nice for the price and very solid.

this is a sideboard which I bought and made a bathroom vanity out of it. I'm not sure how many plates can be stored in or on it.

Yes, you can. I believe you can make up to 4 plates or maybe more. I can't remember exactly the number. Hope that helps.

5 standard 45's plus a clip per side. Some of the 45's with handle holes, or bumper plates, are less thick overall, but you can measure for yourself if you have those.
