Why, isn't he?

It's come to my attention that this guy ended up lifting it by one inch and didn't even rerack when he finished his "reps".

BM is real. So he failed and then didn't even bother to clean up? Wow.

There are 9 45 ivanko plates on each side at the bottom, 6 45 ivanko plates on each side at the top, and 2 45 Ivanko pro style dumbbells with rubber end caps on top. That leg press is roughly 100 pounds unloaded.
That brings it up to a grand total of (16*2*45)+100 = 1,540 pound 45 degree leg press.

But hold on a minute. 1540 Cos (45 degrees) = 1,089 lbs of true weight being pushed.

Let's take a look at the world record for below parallel squat: 1,268 lbs by a man weighing 308 lbs, bringing the total squat weight to 1,576 lbs.

The weight of the man in the 45 degree is not applied to the total leg press number as he is not lifting his own weight in that movement. Friction is insignificant considering it's a linear bearing model (ultra smooth).

I'm not trying to belittle this guys achievement of pushing that weight one inch, since I know 99.999% of the world is incapable of such a feat, but when you compare the true numbers of 1089 lbs vs. 1576 lbs it seems almost silly that this was even given any attention at all.

Side note, That looks like a badass cost-no-object gym. I would have gone with Ivanko steel revolver plates, they look much nicer - almost identical, but they are identical to those 45 plates with the change of circular holes for ease of grip instead of stip holes.

9 plate barbell chained to machine on the bottom

Whoah! Major edit coming in...

Machine: Low: 10+10 = 20
Machine: Mid: 7+7 = 14
Machine High: 10+10 = 20
Dumbbells: 2
Chains: 2 = 40 lbs
Barbell: 1
Barbell Load: 9+9 = 18
Weight of LG press unloaded = 100 lbs

20+14+20+18+2+1= 77 x 45lbs = 3465 + 40 = 3505 lbs + 100 = 3605 lbs

3605 Cos (45 degrees) = 2,549 lbs ....

What in the... This is impossibruuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

He is using his arms..
But damnnnnnnnnn
