Giant Vertical Leg Press Review

Giant Vertical Leg Press
Average Reviews:

This product was one of the easiest things to assemble I have ever done.The nuts and bolts all were lubticated, the holes all lined up where they should and the instructions were well drawn and easy to follow.The leg press machine it self is sturdy and well built.As for the other customer that said something about the leg press not moving up and down, if you put weight on it it works fine.I first tried it with just 90 lbs. on it and it went up and down fine.Though I do have to scoot forward a little to make sure I am pushing straight up.If you try and push at an angle it won't work because it's a VERTICAL leg press.As long as you push straight up it moves nice and smooth, especially with more weight on it.This is rated for 600lbs, I have put over 350 lbs. on this and it still seems very sturdy.The one thing you should know is that although it looks like in the picture the post are olympic size (and I thought somewhere in the description it said that they were) they are actually the smaller posts for the non olympic weights.This actually works out good because you can use olympic or regualar size weights on it.

Giant Leg Press/ Hack Squat Review

Giant Leg Press/ Hack Squat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The weight sled did not move up and down freely and the bolts needed to be loosened all the way to get the sled unstuck. So now it moves but it wobbles side to side. I selected this device since it was wider than the others out there in the same price range and has the same look as the ones in the gym. Since it is an convertible from leg press to hack squat the pad for the feet rocks back and forth which is very annoying along with the seat back moves around. It has poor design features and quality over all

Body Solid SCB26 Power Lift Squat and Calf Block Platform Review

Body Solid SCB26 Power Lift Squat and Calf Block Platform
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Product was on backorder, but the seller contacted me immediately and told me when it would be delivered.It then came exactly when he said it would.

This thing is heavy-duty.The only assembly involved was attaching the squat platform to the calf block with 2 bolts.I have not used the squat platform much - I prefer the flat floor.But the rounded calf block hits those calves hard.The surface of the calf block prevents your shoes from slipping.

Finding a way to exercise calves at home is difficult.Professional gyms can give up the space and money to dedicated calf machines, but most homes have a limit on both.If you've already dedicated the space in your home gym to a squat rack (and that's significant space), then there's no point in not owning this.Of course, a squat rack is absolutely necessary for this device:

You'll have the weight bar up high against the back of the cage.I have the weight bar resting on the horizontal bars that go all the way across the cage (in case I ever fall forward it will catch the bar).I get up underneath the bar with bent legs, push up, then do the calf extensions with the bar scraping against the back uprights - almost like a smith machine.

I'm protecting against falling backward by the back uprights.Although theoretically I could fall forward, there doesn't seem to be that tendency.But again, if I did the horizontal bars that go all the way across the cage would catch the weight bar.

Although it seems a little pricey, its a necessary product for anyone who owns a squat cage.

I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who has trouble firming up their thighs.I have been working out for 20 years and never got results like I did with this gadget.Even my husband noticed the difference!!This takes about 10 minutes a day.I will say up front, it was hard to do at first but I kept doing it anyway and my legs are not only firmer, they're stronger.I would recommend doing this as a toning exercise in addition to a cardiovascular exercise.Good Luck !!
