Bring back the universal leg press

[slaver]

I am so sick of not being able to goto failure on legs in my shitty 24 hour fitness.

THey have squat racks sure adn leg sleds but nothing you can goto failure on..

In high school I used the universal leg press which I bet compared to this hammer crap is cheap.

It was freakin awesome!!

the machine also had chin dip staion back chest and military all in 1

if 24 put 5 of those on the gym floor they coudl throw out half thier hammer shit.

We had one at our HS gym. I remember they had 2 sets of foot pads. If you used the whole stack and pushed from the top pads, you were pushing 450 lbs supposedly. On the bottom pads you were pushing 750 with the whole stack. I used to get that whole machine shaking back and forth!

shit was made from like indestructible metal

Haha, I remember using one of them the first time I ever set foot in a gym when I was about 13 or 14 years old! I used to set the seat back as far as my legs would stretch and do a brutal 4 inch range of motion with the entire stack and thinking I was the fucking man! Good times.

nautilus bought rights to it

devious buggers

getting rid of something cheaper and less complex

weirder must have inside reptile deal with them to suppress cheap awesome machines like this

I find other leg press machines hideous.

This thing let you workout alone easily.

ah yes, i remember that piece of shit. in junior high we had one, it consisted of our entire weight room. more of a ball closet which this thing sat in. i love the customary bar stool you had to sit on while doing military presses or pulldowns. i dont know how they thought that was fucking stable, funny shit though.

The nautilus duo squat was a much better machine, even J. West was a fan of it

I have run into this problem recently as well tallgerman.  The secret is to go to negative failure instead of positive.

The Universal bench press and shoulder press stations felt a lot better than the Hammer Strength machines.

You don't need the leg press. Just pair up with a bro and start squatting
