Pat Robertson says he can leg press 2,000lbs (1 short ton) in a single press. Pat's doctor can even do more... 2,700lbs. Now I've been in a few gyms and done many leg presses myself. I don't know any machine that can handle 2,000lbs of weight. Here is one like many I have used that claimes it can do 1,800, and frankly, I'm not sure if that is right.
Given that you would need twenty 50lb plates on each side to get to 2,000lbs. Since each plate is over an inch wide the bars would need to be well over two feet long. I've never seen that before.
To put this in perspective, the world record holder blew capillaries in his own eyes getting to the current record of around 1,300lbs.
Anyway, as usual; Pat Robertson = Batshit crazy.
