According to the description 450 pounds. I have personally used it for a 225 pound person.

You can use these to lift but I wouldn't recommend it. The palms aren't designed for gripping the gnarled steel of barbells/dumbells and will tear to shreds. I know first hand because I used an old pair for this purpose and within a couple weeks they were unusable as I had completely torn off the rubber support on the palms.

I use 5 pounds. The average test is to go to the store and see how many reps you can do with a weight. If you can easily do 15, then go to a higher weight that will challenge you. If you have to push yourself to get the last 2-3 reps, then that's a good weight for you.

there is no need to add weight because it depends on how fast you move your arms. even a micro movement is enough. believe me it's fine the way it is and works really well.

You can use this step with or without weights. If you are in good shape I would use 5 to 10 pd weights. If you are just beginning you might want to wait and work your way up to weights.

The manual does not give a limit, but a chart of reps only goes up to a body weight of 250 lbs.

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 :-)

I am assuming that you mean by too much weight that you are able to begin the lift but not able to finish to the point where you swing the support into place to hold the weight then you would have to lower the weights to the floor by slowly standing up letting them crash to the floor. r

it's not like using weights where you increase weights. with the body blade, it's how long you can use it. when I was in phys therapy, I was lucky to be able to do for 30 seconds. So your progress is in how long you can do it before your muscles get tired. then you learn how to do it in different directions - to the side, above your head etc. = uses different muscles.

I am afraid I threw the box away and do not remember a weight limit. They are very well built; but are a combination of plastic and metal. You would be using them to be in a position that would not impact how heavy you are, but how strong your arm and stomach muscles are. If you can work into the shape required to hold up 300 pounds you might need something heavy duty; but honestly, we women have a very hard time getting to that degree of control; where your arms are outstretched and you are being held up by your toes and outstretched arms. I use them in the knee position and roll out as far as I can and them back again; I don't get very far, but it is easing me into shape.

This is a very basic. I wouldn't look to go over 135 with this. If your already lifting and our serious about progression I would reccomend you get an Olympic bar and invest in good weights.

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.

I fluctuate between 250 and 275. I've done dips weighted with 75 lbs. and I've done pull ups weighted with 50 lbs. and I've had no problems with it.

They are rated for 350 lb, and what I am lifting is about 250 lb. I would not try lifting over the rated 350 lb.

That's a question either the Total Gym people, or maybe Amazon, can answer. Having owned a Total Gym 1500, I can attest that it's not a very large machine. I would err on the side of caution and suggest that 250 is probably the maximum. In fact, I might even go lower and keep the maximum person's weight at 200 lbs.

Unless all the extra weight is muscle, you shouldn't have to worry as larger people are actually more bouyant!
