new one for me:  I mean this as absolutely no offence to the younger guys on here, but to hear you say that you've never seen this type of leg press really puts into prospective just how long I've been training (since 12 years old and a total of 32years). As far as I'm concerned that was one of the best leg machines around........God the memories  ..........all good memories!! We had one of these when I was training at Bill Pearls gym in Pasadena in the mid to late 70's. With that machine there was virtually no way to cheat, it was all legs or you got buried, no way to bail out if you got stuck......awesome machine!! |

At the original World Gym it was great. No back problems and you could really concentrate on your legs without having to worry about bad form going down or hurting your back. And when you were done with a set you just lay there till your next. |

new one for me: It's called the vertical leg press machine. You don’t know about it because they don't carry it in most gyms any more. I bought one of those machines two weeks ago, and love it. Makes you quads really bulge out and it's great for space if you don’t have any. I bought the Yukon version, that's the best I found. It supports your head and lower back. This is the one I bought. http://www.yukon-fitness.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VLP-154&Category_Code=LB |

Used one in the 70s, nothing special. For leg press the Universal seated leg press was and still is great and used leverage way ahead of machine now out on the market. The thigh burn was brutal.

it looks humbling; doesn't look like you can handle a lot of weight. |

The Universal bench and military press are some of the best machine presses around, I miss those 4 sided universal stations. |

Arnold only trained legs on the vertical leg press for the 1980 Mr. O-and only used 400# for reps.......
why would you say this? and with such certainty? The image came from the BOOK Pumping Iron (1974) |

I hope no one's taking that pic seriously; very unlikely that it's real-far too dangerous not to mention mindless.
To even get close to making sense there'd be two or more spotters paying close attention, but even then...

I loved the Vert. So comformtable. I always imagined if I got under a car I could lift it. They were big back in the 70's and early 80's
Can we do calf raises on a vertical leg press ? |

I never got the same pump or burn doing vertical presses, with the blood running down out of the legs while exercising.

Chris Cormier recently injured his back on the vertical leg press, bad enough to be hospitalized, so it is dangerous. 45 degree press is much safer.

They went out with the hula hoop and roller skates..........Arnold only trained legs on the vertical leg press for the 1980 Mr. O-and only used 400# for reps.......
My buddy Hurricane BEEF! still uses this device with his Hammer Strength and Nautilus equipment.

I love the Vertical leg press!!! I have one in my home gym.....Good stuff! |
