I have been working on doing weight training on the machines at the gym such as legs and arms. My question is ... How many pounds is in each of the black blocks on the weight machines? I have noticed they say 1, 2, 3, 4 etc... (but that can't be in lbs, I'm thinking it's prob around 2lbs?) I would like to know how many lbs I am lifting each time I do my exercises. Thank you.

Hi there,
Good Question, and one that can only be answered by your gym's staff. You are right in that you are certainly not lifting one, two or three pounds. Different brands of weight machines have different units of weight in each weight plate. You're best bet is to ask a personal trainer or other staff member at your gym to get the correct weight units for each machine.
Hope this helps.
