according to leading physicians and trainers, a good athlete (as ult cap is) can bench roughly 3x more then they can curl 595x3= 1,785........but thats way off the subject lol!

Early in his carrer in Avengers he faught Powerman.
1st fight he was handicapped and as his speed was slown down. As he took some nasty hits from Powerman.
Errrmmm....not that Im debating who would win in a fight, but those plates didn't look like any 45's I've ever worked out with. Most people that've been to a big gym know that the general weights are 5's, 10's, 25's, 35's (sometimes, sometimes not), 45's, and then hundred pound plates (mainly used for leg press machines, or the really big benchers).
Those things looked a helluva lot closer to hundred pound plates than fourty five's. But maybe it's just me.
If you say so. I lift damn near every day, and those look too thick to be fourty-fives. If you compare a fourty five to a hundred pound plate, you'll notice they don't have a much larger radius, they're just much thicker. Those are definitely too thick to be fourty five's.
Not to mention, look how tall that fuggin tree was! Whaddya think? Twenty times as tall as the men in the picture? 120 foot? 44% as tall as some of the tallest Sequoias. You know, one of the redwoods liked for it's LIGHT WEIGHT?
Yeah.
Guess how much that would make it weigh? Over a thousand tons.
Not saying that Ultimate Captain America is a thousand tonner, but that he realistically supported the crashing weight of a thousand ton tree.
Not that 616 wasn't buried under "countless thousands of tons" of debris as a building fell on top of him, but digging through that much weight is hardly the same as catching it on it's fall. .

Nope, my brother constanly works out at a gym, and he even told me those look like 45 lb plates. Plus its not like you have a quote from the book and we should assume its the standard, since thats what they look like anyways.
Agreed it is hard to tell but no quotes from book then just assumption. Just assumption, means just opinion. Means that feat is impressive but irrelevant.
thats what i thought when i first saw them, but i just wanted to give the lowest possible weight it would be, which is still more then 616 cap ever have claimed to curl

Ironman gave him this beating and he was severly injured, and hardly able to stand...... When Hulk (who is much stronger then Ironman) beat the crap out of Ult Cap he was hardly injured, in fact after the beating; Ult cap was up and giving tactical orders in the next pannel like he wasnt hurt at all, which shows how durable he is:
