How many 45lb plates can it hold?

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.

I don't know. It's pretty sturdy. It's of the same quality of the ones you find in commercial gyms. I've used six 45 lb plates on it before, with no problem.

The weight collar is 9.5 inches. My plates are 1.5". With 6 plates I don't think your getting a lock on there

This depends on the thickness of your plates. The shaft on the bar is 9 1/2 inches long. I have 1 1/2 inch thick 45 pound plates. So, I can easily fit 5 plates each side and still have room for the clips. I hope this helps.

I haven't had it fully loaded, but I've had 5 plates on each side and there was room for at least one more on each side. It really depends on how thick your plates are. With thinner 45's I'm pretty sure you can get 7 on each side, as some of my plates are a bit thicker than normal.

Possibly enough for Arnold. I can't say what weight it would structurally snap in half if that is what your asking

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.

It holds any dinner plates up to about 11 1/2 inches. But there is about a 20 lbs weight limit. I use it allot for patio parties with paper plates. I gave one for a gift, for the money its a great caddy, just used it this weekend for a party of 40 with paper products.

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.

Very sturdy. I believe it can hold all of that. I wouldn't go any heavier with the weights.

i got some olympic adapter sleeves for it so i could put my olympic plates on it. and i have about 250 lbs worth of plates on it. you probably could easily do well over 300 lbs. it is a very sturdy machine. if you have any more questions feel free to ask me.

Between both posts there is 45 inches. I can fit a sixty inch bar with enough room for quite a few weights on 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...

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

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

They each can hold about 95ish pounds in plates alone, plus the bar itself is probably 5 pounds so they can each go up to 100 at the max.

Honestly I think that would be too much weight on these. I believe the description says up to 35lb. I think these could hold 45 to 50 max

I have read on another website that it holds up to 300 lbs. I can verify that it will hold at least 225.

For what it's worth, I just called XMark customer support and asked about this model. It's max capacity is 275 lbs. Not an ideal model if you're using added weights.

I know this is kind of late, but the 12.5 lb plates have a small enough diameter for dumbell work, you can put 4 on a side (of a 14" dumbell") and get up to 104lbs that way.

Recommended maximum of 300 pounds. However, I would not put that much weight on it unless I have several plates on the storage pegs to stabilize the load.

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.

My bike weighs 36lbs and is holding it very well I would think it would hold a 45 lb bike fine
