An absolute banger of a leg press/hack squat. My hips are super lateral and retroverted, so the wide footplates are the bomb. I also have baby legs (i.e., 28 inseam) and even I can get ATG with room to spare. The motion is smooth and the modularity is quite impressive. Seeing the crate arrive reassured me that my choice to pay two guys to assemble this for me was the right move. It looked... involved. An additional plus side, if there is ever a tornado here I can hide inside of the machine and come out unscathed.

They were nearly impossible to close on any sleeve (e.g., oly, specialty, etc.). Not sure if I got a bad batch but I ended throwing mine away.

I spent ages searching for a leg press/hack squat combo that wasn't too wide. My search landed me here. I really like this unit with a couple of minor nitpicks. The leg press footplate is tiny. Even though both footplates are diamond tread, they're still a bit slick so I had to add grip tape to both. The safety handles are unnecessarily heavy so I had to add grip tape to those as well for my wife. It has an 85 lb start weight with a 60 lb feel weight due to the angle, which I believe is 45 degrees. I prefer a lower angle (e.g., 37.5-ish) since that feels better on my knees. If you're on a budget or tight on space, and not interested in those "compact" hybrids like Force USA, this is a great option.

Super quick and easy to take off the bar. They work best on actual olympic-sized sleeves. There is some forgiveness with other collars and sleeves with wider tolerances, but not with these. As an example, I have a saxon bar from a small company where the sleeve is just barely smaller than a regular oly sleeve and these do not work on that. Bench press? Rows? OHP? These are bangin'. Heavy deadlifts? Some specialty bars? Keep a pair of regular collars handy.

For the price this thing actually delivers. The plastic sleeves leave a bit to be desired but the resistance profile is spot on. I ended up selling it because I hated finishing a taxing set and then having to crawl off the floor essentially.
