On the XMark website it looks like the weight holders are for standard plates but there are Olympic adapter sleeves included. Is this correct?

The way its made with leverage the two 45 pound plates feel extremly heavy, my calves burn after 25 reps

It will hold Olympic weights. It's a great machine. Very solid. Makes lighter weights feels heavier than they are so you don't have to put as much weight on it.

Weights are not included in the mini leg press. You can buy them at a sports store like Dicks Sporting or others. The plates are not part of the press.

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.

Hi Jana, These units do not come with weights. The post they have on them are 1", so they fit standard weight plates without using an adapter. If you have Olympic plates with a 2" hole, you can purchase an Olympic adapter to slide on the post. Hope that helps. Thanks, Andy

NO, they will not. These weights are appropriate for non-Olympic one inch bars only. If you have an Olympic set you must buy Olympic plates. However, these plates nonetheless are of professional quality as good as any non-Olympic weights you will find in any gym.

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 is not for Olympic plates. It fits standard plates, also known as 1 inch diameter plates, also known as the plates that are not olympic plates and have a much smaller hole in them than olympic. Not sure what Universal means. Good luck.

It's designed for standard weights. I believe an olympic bar could sit in the holders though.

Well Richard, if your talking standard plates they go up to 25 lbs, and yes that bar can hold them, they can also hold Olympic Plates (all sizes) you just have to get adapter sleeves for the bar and you'll be able to fit them on each end.

any sporting goods outlet, no special "weights" are required. You can use standard plates (1") or small Olympic weights (2") even tried the square shaped lead weights for SCBA diving belts. The weights are secured with several velcro straps so you can adjust the total weight and configuration as you wish, just be careful as mentioned because the weights need to be secured tightly or it will damage the vest. There are four separate placement location, two on the front and two on the back. It is a good idea to take the vest with you to the store. Hope this helps

its the same length as my regular olympic bar . its take olympic plates . it will fit a standard bench . i don't know how much weigh it can hold but i think more weight than the regular standard olympic bar because its heavier and thicker .

Yes, it is designed for standard 1" diameter plates. You can buy olympic plated adapter sleeves. Also, go to a hardware store and get a tube of axel grease to apply to the sliders, otherwise they will squeal like a stuck pig. You may also want to consider not attaching the head rest and use pillows instead. Unless you are the exact height for how this was designed you will find it simply pushes your head forward into uncomfortable positions. Otherwise, it's a pretty good press for the money.

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.

Yes you do, and also you need the purchase Olympic adapters (3) for a few dollars so that the plates fit properly. 25lbs, 35lbs, or 45lb plates I'd recommend.

These are standard weight plates with an (approximately) 1" hole in them. I'd look locally at garage sales and craigslist before I bought new, or scout around for sales at Wal-Mart/Sport Authority. I bought 100# of steel plates (not the plastic ones) from craigslist for $60 and then picked up a couple 25# steel plates at Sports Authority on sale for $18 each. It shouldn't be too hard to find something that fits your needs.

You will need 4 adapters (2 on each side) for Olympic plates and will hold a lot of weight.

One of the reviewers of the dumbbell set referred people to this site and said it's the cheapest he could find for add-on plates. http://www.warehousefitness.com/exercise-equipment/RDD/default.aspx Hope this helps!
