About this deal

I could dive into different studies here, but for the average lifter, that’s a needless complication. They’re great for beginners and those who may have been injured before. The safe and correct movement makes for excellent assistance work and doubles as supportive equipment. However, there’s a certain limit to how expensive or how cheap a leg press machine is, and those that fall into those categories don’t make the cut. Manufacturer Reputation With a footprint of only 29 square feet, G9 is the second smallest Force USA unit, which makes it a good choice when every foot matters.

But if you have your heart set on one I’d recommend the Sunny Health & Fitness squat assist row n ride. It’s fairly simple- the more popular and proven the manufacturer, the more attention we give. Brands like Force USA, Body-Solid and Rogue always get the nod because they have a solid history of producing great machines. This work should be done with as little rest between sets as possible, and each rep should be done with violence. Go beyond boundaries. Pro Series is designed to be biomechanically better, providing unrivalled equipment for pro gyms Leverage leg press machines are exactly that- they are angled and made in a way that you feel like you’re doing free weights. More than that, you get a greater degree of control compared to just doing it without equipment.The bottom crosspiece base, which weighs 24 lbs, serves two key purposes. The first is that it houses the guide rod that keeps the loading pin in place throughout the lift. The guide rod is 23″ tall. Because of the adjustable height of the platform and the adjustable belt, this guide rod height should be enough that you won’t have to worry about the pin slipping off the rod. The second purpose of the base is to set up bands. This is made very easy through the use of 4 pegs per side along with the pegs on the loading pin itself. Boost Your Squats: Think you’ve got squats down? A leg press machine might still have something to teach you. By focusing solely on the leg muscles, you can build up strength and control that’ll make your squats even better. It’s like a behind-the-scenes workout for your main event. The combo machine is also perfectly safe to use and has features that allow you to train to muscle failure without worries. Safety rails on the sides and adjustable catch stops prevent the carriage from crashing down and causing injuries. A lower frame and band peg positions offer greater resistance in conjunction with Super Bands (optional).

Leverage leg press machines can be a great choice if you want to save space and money. However, they can be a bit more challenging to use than other types of machines. Personally, I am not a big fan of them. Since having the Squatmax-MD and using it extensively in a number of ways, it’s my personal opinion that it’s the king of the ‘belt squat.’It is safe...you can squat as heavy as you want in complete safety. There are three different depths for the spotting safety bar...if you can't finish a movement, just sink down till you can rest on the safety bar and extract yourself from under the yoke.

This is another detail that’s rarely listed in the specs. When needed, we account for it based on experience with the machines or talking to the users. So, when it comes to gym equipment we look to the gold standard- steel. It’s the best material out there, and it’s heavy but that’s a plus since we’re looking for overall stability as well. The machine is multi-purpose. You can do several types of squat movements and also calf raises and Hise shrugs. Some lifters figure this to be in the range of 90% of their true max. That's not a bad method to use and tends to work well. For the next 10 weeks, you're going to do at least 5 sets of 5 using 60% of that EDM. Again, while this doesn't seem like much, if you perform each rep with as much force as possible and whittle down your rest periods between sets each week, you'll find this to be hard and productive work. If it's just too damn easy, use 70% of your EDM and go from there. All in all, I’m extremely impressed with the design and construction of the Squatmax-MD. It takes only a couple of minutes to disassemble/assemble and the overall design includes some really smart choices. With all accessories, the total weight is 120 lbs – it’s a tank. Once mounted, there is zero movement whatsoever. The laser-cut “Squatmax-MD” on the sides is also a nice touch from an aesthetic perspective.

If you have two Squatmax-MD belts, you can create the shoulder harness and perform good mornings. These feel reeeeeally good on the Squatmax. Aside from using the actual loading pin, you can use the platform as a box to perform step-ups, box jumps, etc… It’s an absolute tank that won’t budge a bit. Rehab/Prehab If your gym has one of these machines, it’s a great way to change up your leg workouts and target different muscles. Vertical Leg Press Machine You're asking me to place myself in an unpopular position...that may cause the more hardcore to question my weight training manliness. So be it. It’s critical for any kind of squatting that you perform a thorough mobility warmup. This will not only help prime your joints for the movement but will also help prevent injury. Often overlooked areas of mobility include wrists and ankles. Simple rolling exercises can help loosen up these joints and help you achieve the depth you’re looking for on a squat. A detailed look at squats wouldn’t be complete without at least a cursory mention of front squats. A front squat is a different exercise altogether, though it is still a squat. When performing a front squat, an you need to have significant shoulder and wrist mobility to ensure proper form.
