It may very well be, since the leg press is not a powerlifting competition event, unlike the bench press, squat, and deadlift. Therefore, any such records, as best I know, would be unofficial i.e. local gym records, rather the anything national or international. Those of you who may know better, please correct me.
On the other hand, didn't Th-resa Bostick do something insane, like 1800+ pounds some years ago? There are more recent vids of Noof Yusuf moving enough metal to build a few cars (not sure of the totals). I also recall hearing that Michelle Ralabate (4ft 11in) could put up like 1200 lbs, again unofficial.
Good luck finding your answer, If you do, please share it here. :)
@Nytrytr777 ok then that is a bummer i did find a lot of records for men but they did not just have one record even for men. but search engines really seem to hate the word leg press. even when i google things like fbb doing legpress i get few results. it keeps trying to correct it to bench press or show me clips of men doing it despite me putting the word woman in my searches.
I know this is a thread from months ago, but it's actually something I was wondering about too. I mean, I'm not so concerned with what some official "world record" says? But regardless of "difference between machines" or the "angle someone has their legs at", etc. etc. --- you can repeatedly find claims for the heaviest leg presses done by guys. (At least 2 or 3 guys are pretty well documented to have done 2,000lb. leg pressed for several reps. And there's at least one outlier claim of even more done by someone from one of the "strongman" type competitions.)
When you search on women, you don't get very much at all. (If anything, I've seen numbers that are clearly less than I've watched probably half a dozen different women do in YouTube videos. And often, those videos are pretty old. So you have to wonder if some of them were still lifting for a while after making those and improved on those original lifts?)
Jozeffa Alajahji made a few videos leg pressing big stacks of weights with people along for the ride, and I'm pretty sure they claimed one of those was over 1,650lbs.
How different? if you can't give me exact numbers just give me unofficial records then.
The angle at which you have to press the weight, most leg press machines have a 45 degree angle, some might have 30 deg. though essentially making the lift easier
Is it that hard to just answer a question?
It is if you don't know the answer. But the biggest LP I'm aware of by a woman is 22 plates by Noof Yusuf. Those are 45 pound plates and that is per side so 22 x 90 = 1980. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ6P_8cAJIe/?hl=en Range of motion isn't great and isn't terrible. About 7 reps.
What's the world record preacher curl?
What's the world record in being a smartass? You seem like a heavy lifter at that.
I tried to Google this but i got no relevant results. sorry if this breaks the rules but i can't find answers anywhere quite sad.
