Title: Best leg press for my home gym?
Post by: Rydawg on October 27, 2007, 09:41:50 PM
I'm looking to add a leg press to the gym that I've put together in my basement. I was hoping that those of you that have one could give me some feedback on what brand/model you have and the pro's/cons of them. I have to go with a residential model, since I wont be able to get the commerical ones (with welded frames) down into my basement. So far, I've been looking at Yukon and Body Solid hip sleds/leg presses and the Yukon vertical/angled leg press. I'm hoping to find one that can hold a lot of weight (most of the residential models can only hold up to 720 lbs), has a good smooth movement and will stand up to regular use (once a week).

That would end up costing you heaps. If it is a pin and stack type of leg press, that would cost a lot, and if its a free weight one, that will cost a fortune, due to the fact that you will have to have 100's and 100's of pounds of weight plates.

Either join a gym or just do squats.

What about looking into a used commercial hack squatter instead?
