Strength training PRs shared
Users shared recent machine-based PRs: Leg Press at 538lbs/244kg, Seated Row at 230lbs/104kg, Chest Press at 250lbs/114kg, and more https://x.com/i/status/2031110756586950734.
The original poster clarified that these numbers came from machines at a Planet Fitness. Some commenters are debating the merits of machine-based versus free weight exercises for building strength. Machines can be more accessible for beginners or those with injuries. Others are sharing their own machine PRs, like 150lb lat pulldowns and 315lb squats on the Smith machine. It seems many are using these machines to supplement their free weight routines.
