Leg Press...Which One?

[A50#]

I'm looking for an affordable Leg Press for around the house. I found this Vertical 7 degree Leg Press. I've never tried the Vertical type before and was wondering if they worked well? $450

Here's the POWERTEC Leg Press...looks a little small to me. $449

TDS Leg Press $329:

I like this one, but space is limited and I REALLY dont want to spend over $500. This is a Husky Sled $875:

POWERTEC Squat/Calf Machine $399:

A50....I TRIED THE POWERTECH SQUAT MACHINE THE OTHER DAY.

IT'S NOT SOLID. I DON'T GIVE A DARN WHO IS SELLING IT (TITUS SAYS ITS GREAT) I TRIED IT AND IT WAS RICKETY. YOU'D NO DOUBT WEAR IT OUT. THAT'S JUST ONE OPINION. I USED TO HAVE A BODYSOLID LEG PRESS....IT WAS OKAY, BUT LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF POUNDAGE YOU COULD PUT ON IT. I ENDED UP SELLING IT (IT LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE THE YUKON PIC YOU POSTED) UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE GOING TO WANT ONE WITH LINEAR BEARINGS....NOT ROLLERS, FOR THE WEIGHT STACK TO SLIDE UP AND DOWN ON. THEY COST A LITTLE MORE, BUT YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING YOU WON'T HAVE TO TRY TO GET RID OF WHEN IT WEARS OUT. I STILL DON'T HAVE ANOTHER ONE YET.

This one is by far the best leg press ive used!!! the angle is perfect and takes stress off my lower back comparing to other machines... GET THIS ONE!!!

Personally, I dont like vertical leg presses. Makes my head feel like its going to pop. And that was way long ago, when I was natural. With some anadrol and test I think my head would explode!

Those are HackSquat machines...
Leg Press is different.
I prefer Leg Press over a HackSquat

A 45 Degree leg press is good.

A50, I like the vertical one myself for $450. We have one at my gym and it def does take stress off of your lower back with the angle. Im not sure as to which brand we have, but from the picture you have there it also looks to be the most solid, those without frames usually are rather shaky and wobble quite a bit.As long as the track on that one doesnt have alot of slop, it should work well..

I agree with a couple things. MikeS is right, it'll make your head feel like it's gonna pop off...But, like REA said, holy shit it will blast you legs. I love it. My new gym doesn't have one and I'm bummed about it. The worst part about it is trying to get up after a brutal set under that beeatch!!

 

[tbonus]

Yeah, the whole head feeling like its gonna pop is not good. I get some serious looks at the gym I go to. I will lie back and do leg press and get up and my head looks like a lobsters. I bet everyone thinks I am gonna have a heart attack right there.

MIKES........REA PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE!

LIKE THE REST OF US OVERWEIGHT, WATER RETENTIVE BASTARDS! HAHAHA....DID IT TAKE STRESS OFF YOUR LOWER BACK LIKE SHE MENTIONED? I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO USE ONE YET!
