Brett,I own the ‘powertec squat machine’. I’ve had it for 6-7 years and never really used it.

DCA,great idea. I think I’ll do just that.

I suck at getting pictures on here.

1086

It looks like a “Transformer”.

Does it feel closer to a free squat or a smith machine squat?

Its very smooth but feels more like a squat-leg press mix. Works the quads more then squats.

Solid work in here, Steve, I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!

1091

Happy Thanksgiving.

As for that machine, that looks harder to me than doing a squat. Your farmers carries are huge.

1092

Thanks guys. I had a great day. Hope you both had great days as well. Squats are much tougher then this machine.

1093

Ok. I really suck at any kind of leg press or any leg machine. Though to be honest my squat is nothing to write home about either. Hope you have enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

1094

I don’t really understand how that machine works . . .

1095

nice work steve- huge farmers carries.

the squat machine is great for BBB as DCA stated - I get more ‘pump’
then strength

1096

So it appears you are actually carrying farmers, damn good job.

1097

Thanks all.

Your power tech looks just like what I use at the gym for calve raises and some times the front presses. Looks like you’ve been having some good workouts. Are your outside workouts in the snow yet?
