Ordering leg press machine , we finally have a winner

[MajorTendonitis]

I’ve always wanted the addition of a machine for legs in my home gym , as my knees aren’t getting any better . Anyways I’ve wanted a leg press /hack squat machine ,but keep finding they are rarely good at both , so I’m going to settle for a leg press only machine .
I like this second generation Powertec leg press . It has no storage , but I can build additional bumper plate storage racks beside it .
An added bonus is it has a small foot print ,only 34” wide . That’s almost half the width of the Force USA leg press /hack squat machine.

I’m going to put it at the far end of the gym , and will have to remove the water massage table and relocate it upstairs in the spare room.
The rear of the machine will pretty much be sitting against that window you see to right of the tv . Going to be tight with bumper storage , but doable I think

wuts ur net worth boyo?

Bro your knees are not safer on a press.

The weight is way higher. Ronnie Coleman squatted 800 and wrecked himself. Later he leg pressed 2000, which is harder on knees than <50% the weight of squatting.

Belt squats look gaf cuz, but they’re prob healthier.

I’ve always thought the addition of a leg press would be beneficial instead of doing squats all the time. You’d think it would hit muscles a bit differently

Srs it’s over , but this won’t make much of a difference to my demise . Probably going to do MAID next September .but at least I have 11 more months to be with my Misc family

I’m sure. Idk a way to do it without hurting your joints.

I’d like to blast gear and lift huge on it if either did not wreck you, other places.

I’ve heard a lot of people complaining more about hack squats giving them back and knee problems . If I was smart I’d probably go to our commercial gym and try them both first

Back problems are due to disrespecting the machine and not bracing your core because retards forget that a hack squat is still a squat. It loads the quads much harder than other squat variants do, besides the pendulum, so you will feel it more, but it isn't 'worse' for the knees if you train appropriately.

No sick and tired lol . Srs I have to remortgage next September, and they won’t remortgage you if you’re not working. They went union here so the company I’m supposed to be working for can’t get their foot in the door anymore. I’d sooner rope than work at Walmart
