Vertical leg press.... opinions?

**Aeternitatis** · 06-08-2006, 09:40 PM

Anyone use a vertical leg press? I've been thinking about adding one to my gym but have never used one. What are your thoughts?

IMO, just stick with a 45% degree press that allows a seat angle adjustment. They are less intimidating to the public and safer. If someone wants to do virticle leg presses, they can use a pad on the ground and smyth machine.

I've never tried a vertical leg press, but I heard that it's VERY uncomfortable for the lower back.
