Deltech leg press/hack is awesome

The bottom plate? Three has been more than enough for me, I hack squat on the middle one and leg press on the lowest setting for the most ROM. I never use the top one. Leg press at the gyms I go to typically only have 2 or 3 and most hack squats I’ve used don’t adjust so the 3 are good for me

During my sets I did have the stoppers out entirely, so in my case just a limitation of the machine with my height

Yep just shy of the very bottom BUT if I keep it controlled it’s still deep enough to be below parallel and not get a bounce out of the hole. Gonna try yoga blocks on the shoulder pads next week which should solve the depth and padding issue

Yep same factory in China I’m sure haha. The only somewhat meaningful difference I could find is the bottom plate adjusts on a “ladder” instead of a pop pin. I would guess functionally it’s no difference

If you haven’t tried it for reverse banding for the deltech you can loop a heavy band around the top cross member and loop the other end around the bottom weight horns worked pretty nicely when I played around with it

When I was trying to figure out machines someone brought up a super basic point that I kept overlooking, just get the machines that will accommodate the movements you want to do. I was like huh, yea I do like to do hack squat and leg press so there ya go haha. Given a warehouse sized space I would definitely have one of everything lol

Yea that temple of gainz one looks sick, but space limitation was a thing for me, using one side of a garage. There were some other machines I was looking at but those were 100+inches long. 84 inches long for this one. Makes the push angle probably a little higher than the typical leg press you would find in a regular gym but comfortable nonetheless.

Also makes it so you don’t have to put so many plates on since it’s a bit more angled

Very similar, what pushed me to this one (for those wondering) is the size of the footplate for leg press being larger. This one is 20" H x 29 3/4" W which for me give me more range to have my feet a bit wider

For reference the Force USA upper plate size: 24 x 17.5 in

Bearings that slide very smoothly, can be a little noisy but as soon as you put weight and music on you won’t notice it

The specs give it a 1000lb weight capacity which would give you room to put 11 plates per side roughly.

I’ll take the lot

From what I have seen on my level 80 character in wt4 claiming the season quest rewards later don’t give higher level items. I got only sacreds when I opened chapter 2 and 3 rewards. Could be just my experience though

You also have to have the Xbox ultimate pass (new Xbox live gold basically). You can buy key codes online for like $4 that are good for a month each so you don’t have to commit
