Have my choice of 3 leg press machines, but this sweetheart is my favourite. Can go calf to ass with no back issues. Old is gold as they say lol
Also like this wee honey here, universal leg press. Probably where Gary Jones got the idea for his hammer strength seated leg press.
This one is also nice…neck supported.
Too much choice in there… leg press all day
I know mate, and im indecisive enough lol. Nah the wee old near vertical one is my fav. I offered the owner a grand for it…but he said he wouldn’t part with it. Dont blame him lol.

Nice pressing. I’ve never used an axle bar but would love to try it. Told Cousin Mike to get one and he said, “Dons acceptés”, Donations accepted.
Thanks bud:) Yeah i perfer the axle bar for pressing, feels much easier on the wrists and theres little to no rotation…and given i press with a thumbless grip thats important. I find a lot of Olympic bars now have too much rotation.
Ha…cousin Mike holds the purse strings tightly lol.
Wow. Great idea. I can cut the pipe at home and make the collars. Might tap and screw in a piece metal for the inside. Thanks.
Still training away…hope you guys and gals had a good thanksgiving…
Had to go to the commercial gym today…
