Description

There's no greater sweat session than a solid leg day, and they just got a whole lot better with this dual-purpose BodyIron Compact Leg Press and Calf Raise Machine. Combining two of the all-time greatest leg exercises, you'll be able to target the glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves in order to develop lower body strength, mass muscle and definition.

Featuring an adjustable, thick foam padded seat, this machine offers maximum support and comfortability whilst lifting those heavy loads. It also includes two smooth, easy-grip handles on either side of the seat for extra support and stability.

The oversized footplate has multiple ridges to prevent your feet from shifting or slipping whilst you train. The oversized design also offers greater exercise variety, as altering your foot placement will help you target different areas of your legs. For example, a wider (or sumo stance) placed at the top of the footplate will predominately work the glutes and hamstrings, whilst a narrower stance positioned towards the bottom of the plate will mostly work the quads.

This gives a unique leg press experience, as you're able to take complete control over whether your range of motion is predominately from your hip flexion and extension movements, or from knee flexion and extension.

The calf raise beam is extremely easy to move on and off the machine. Just use the pop-pin mechanism at the bottom of the footplate to glide it up, down, on or off. By incorporating this feature into the design, growing those stubborn, hard to hit calves has never been easier.

By offering such effortless variety, it's time to say goodbye to those chicken legs and hello quadzilla!

How to Use

Safety always comes first, so before you begin loading up the weight plates make sure the safety pin in front of the seat is secured into a position that offers your desired range of motion. Then, adjust the back pad to match your height, and ensure the safety mechanism (large handle on the right hand side of the seat) is secured.

LEG PRESS

Once you've checked over these three things, load up the weight plates on either side of the seat and jump on. Begin in a standing / upright position. Press the soles of your feet firmly into the foot pad and release the safety mechanism. Once unlocked, grab the handles on either side of the seat and begin to glide down in a squatting position. Once you've reached your full range of motion, stand back up and repeat.

CALF RAISE

Insert the calf raise beam. Place your toes on top, grab the handles and repeat the above steps. You won't be able to reach full range of motion, however once you feel the tension in your calves stand back into an upright position.
