Body-Solid Leg Press/ Hack Squat Review

[BodySolidFit]

Thank you so much for the detailed review and demonstration of our GLPH1100 Leg Press/Hack Squat. We really appreciate it!

2 thumbs up. Covered everything curious about. Seems sturdy, well built, the covering isn't cheap plastic, can go below parallel, easy transition between both. Thanks for the vid.

Got this based off your review, thank you, one question, how the heck did you get the handle for the hack squat bolted down.

Thank you for the review.
I just found one on Facebook for $400 lol I'm picking it up tomorrow. It's in perfect condition.
Can you tell if there would be any way to add the safety feature to it in the future?

I'd prefer not having the stopped, so I can get depth. The one I purchased has a stopper that doesn't allow for any depth on the Hack or press. Sending mine back and different brand. They should make those Body Solid bars wide enough to add more weights that aren't 100 lb plates.

@Sperduti Fitness, how tall are you? I'm a big boy at tick over 6'4" and 360 lbs. Will I fit on this machine? Also, you didn't speak to the reduction ratio (1:2) when moving weight on a 45-degree incline. 500lbs loaded would be equivalent to approximately 250 lbs. on a vertical press or squat.

I have this same machine in our home gym, have had it for about 3 years now and my wife and i love it!. The body solid writing on the side is messed up I wish I could get a new decal. I know it's nothing but it bothers me lol

Great video! I’m transitioning from gym training to home workouts and this was my favourite machine. I’m looking to get one by I live in a apartment on the 21st floor. Do you think it would be safe to use in a apartment?

[bryanmurray]

Good video, but the equipment is clicking and clacking as you’re saying it’s smooth. I doubt the constant clicking throughout the movements is a good thing.

[hashslasher]

Watched this video to see if you could get full rom on the leg press. Looks like no. Hack squat looks good though. Maybe try putting leg press back angle on the lowest setting and see if it works then

[bobcalso]

Good Video. Thank you for the detailed explanation.

I'm shopping for a good machine. The lack of a safety is no problem for me as I have a welder and metal stock so building a safety stop on here would be a solution. I thought about getting a Titan leg press/ hack squat unit but so many negative reviews. I'm still going to do some more due diligence. I would appreciate some feedback from people out there regarding a leg press / hack unit.

Great review!
Is this the GLPH1100 or is it the GLPH2100 ?
What about doing single legpress movement? I read that the platform is quite small and you may not be able to get correct form because of that.

[garyhuntsr]

Thanks a lot, crystal clarity in details!

[Snowfox]

I just received it and the assembly took a whole 4 hours 😢

[matthewmccabe]

Got the same machine. Thanks for the velcro tip. I'll be doing the same thing.

[grantosaurusrex]

Thanks for the review man. Any wobbles when you’re pressing with it loaded up? Also, does that hinge that lets the leg press platform swing up get in the way of toe press for calves?

This was reallyyy hopeful now i know how to use the hax squat

[biotestguy]

How tall are you? I'm just wondering in relation to the hack squat whether I would get a Full range of motion. I'm 178 cm tall
