OK, yeah that helps. so usually the bar by itself weights 45 lbs?? I thought it was less than that. I always had that doubt.
I think the bars they have on the presses at the gym are the olimpic bars, it is aprox 1 inch more or less on the section were you grab it, and about double the diameter on where the plates are placed.
you are able to lift 14 pies on the leg press?

I am only able to lift about 6 pies (3 on each side) on the 45° leg press. I still have a long way to go...
