- Is this a leg press or a hack squat?
- Both. The same sled and carriage work as a horizontal leg press and as a hack squat, so you switch by changing your foot position and back pad setup.
- How much weight can it hold?
- Mdeam rates the machine at 1,400 lbs of plate loading. That is well above what most home lifters will ever stack on it.
- Does it need to be bolted down?
- It is not a light machine, but anchoring is still wise for heavy hack squats. Check your floor type and use the base holes if you plan to load it near the limit.
- What safety features does it have?
- Three safety locking positions let you set the carriage stop height, and two gravity-cushioning springs ease the sled at the bottom and top of the range.
- How much floor space does it need?
- The frame measures about 202 cm deep, 93.5 cm wide and 131 cm high. Leave extra room at the front for loading plates and at the sides for getting on and off.
- Is it suitable for a small home gym?
- It fits if you have a dedicated corner roughly 2 m by 1 m plus loading space. In a shared room it will dominate the floor.
