I had a 180 in an old wood frame apartment. Before I even really considered the weight to be an issue. I didn't even try and figure out the floor joist direction. Had it set up for 5 years with no issues, never thought about it until someone mentioned the weight once...I still didn't really think much of it...but this was like 10 years ago. I think with age I got paranoid hahaha.
