Leg Extension on Bench

usman664 · 02-11-2004, 09:54 PM

There was this man on the phone when I asked him about this quality olympic bench that had a leg extension on the end that could handle 250lb of weight...that in kg is...113KG...he told me hes never seen any body lift that much weight and he thought it was alot...is this alot of weight...because ive done quad extension and ham extensions and ive done more than 90 kg...thats very close to 250 pounds...so the capacity on the extension wouldn't benefit me if i get stronger!

That's pretty heavy weight for extensions I would say. I usually do my extensions on cables though so I really wouldn't be able to tell the relative free weight amount.

yeah the gym i use only have a cable one aswell, all i no is i can stack the machine, so dont really use it much anymore.

i would imagine free weight would be alot harder than cable

You can always do 1 legged extensions on the bench if you get too strong for it.
