Has anyone found the max weight you can use?

I don't know what the max could be, but with the 3:1 ratio you can easily get a good amount of weight without overloading the machine.....plus think of your knees.

Hello. I can easily load 4=45 lb plates on each side and this is heavy duty enough to handle it no issues. I am very impressed with Xmark quality. Very durable and thick steel, easy assembly and this is very close if not equal to a gym quality seated calf machine. In fact it is way better than the one at my current gym!

I load it with as much weights as i can go with thats like about 120lbs but it holds much more

The olympic sleeves are quite long 13" each side. If you use 45lbs narrow powerlifting plates, you could get 10 on each side, for a total weight of 900lbs. Because of the 3:1 lever arm, the force on your knees would be 2700lbs. I doubt the machine would hold up to this, but neither would your calves :-)

The extension makes it really heavy, the most i use is two 45s and two 25s on each side and i am pretty strong

I can lift over 500lbs on the standing calf raise machine. But 150lbs feels heavy on this seated calf machine. So you will run out of strength before you run out of room for weights on this machine. It will hold more weight than you can lift. I can squat over 300, deadlift 400 & bench press 250 so I'm not a weak person saying this. But I've never loaded it up with weights because It holds more than I can lift. Hope this helps.

Ramon, I believe the maximum wt to be 225 -250, as I weigh 185, I thought it no problem. Ck the website for further "DETAILS" for the answer. Michael

Sure have. Combined weight was about 180lbs. Everything was fine, I was worried too with the max but like I said no problems and I've had to do it a few times...

I never tested it for maximum weight, but my whole family (4 - approx. total weight around 450+-) have been on it all together, with no problem. Not for long, but for minutes playing. It seems to be quite sturdy and strong...well designed and built. Remember too, the presswood boards are not anywhere nearly as strong as pieces as they are as a completely assembled unit.

I do not know max weight, but I weigh in at 210 and it does fine. Suggest you go directly to Bowflex and try to get the best answer rather than get opinions that may or may not be correct.gene

I asked the mfr because i had the same question. They said the max weight is 350lbs

You can't. I suppose you could get creative and find some way to attach more weight, but as it is you can't modify it. Although, working out with it long enough and going really fast I'd see little need to add to it, but that's just me.

Is there a weight limit for rip:60? The maximum weight capacity is 300 lbs. Although the rip:60 Trainer may accommodate heavier weights, anything over 300 lbs will void the warranty. taken directly from their website. http://www.rip60.com.au/Rip_60_FAQ.html

That won't be a problem. I don't remember what the upper limit was, but it was much higher than 70 pounds.

I don't know if there is a max weight. when you are in the water it sort of holds you weightless. I am 180 pretty heavy and I've never had a problem

I don't know what its maximum might be, but, from personal experience, at least 450 pounds.

I wasn't able to find a stated maximum weight anywhere. As I said in my review, I know that it holds 250 lbs without trouble.

I have trouble going over 100. Dead on when it does weigh but if you're looking to weigh more than about that maybe consider something else

I haven't seen a weight limit for it anywhere. I don't know why there would be.
