Free weight was the 220-225

210 on a machine at a friends house last week(it was the maximim weight).

Free weights are harder because instead of just lifting the weight. You also have to stabalize the weight.

Are you talking bench the amount one time or the typical 3 sets of 10-12?

Dragon- 550+ is a pretty good leg press. Machine i use only goes up to 650 and ive maxed it. I could only do it a few times though.

And the 200+ benches ive done were single or double presses. Highest i can do a whole set on is about 190-200.
