Body-Solid GCEC340 Leg Extension/ Curl

Our Review of the GCEC340 from Body-Solid:

My (Matt writing) preference of the two Body-Solid plate-load leg extensions/ curls - GLCE365 and GCEC340. The main difference being that leg curls are performed in a seated position on the GCEC340, rather than the supine position on the Body-Solid GLCE365.

Also, being a fan of performing leg extension and leg curl one-legged, partially due to being able to keep better form with higher poundages (due to less stress on the stabilising muscles - abs, lower back, forearm flexors), I prefer the set-up of the Body-Solid GCEC340. For this reason, the Body-Solid GCEC340 may also be of interest for people aiming to be a bit more sports-specific with their training. The full-commercial gym would be better off reviewing the GymRatZ Iso Leg Extension and GymRatZ Selectorised Standing Leg Curl for this purpose though.

Here's what Body-Solid have to say about their GCEC340:

With the GCEC340 from Body-Solid, leg workouts have never been so quick and efficient. The two most important leg exercises can now be performed from one comfortable position on the Body-Solid GCEC340. The fully adjustable 7-gauge steel cam will easily accommodate any user.

Just pull the jumbo pop pin and raise the lifting arm to a comfortable starting position, sit down and wrap your legs over the 8" foam rollers, then press down to perform seated leg curl exercises that will stretch and strengthen your glutes and hamstring muscles. Pull the pin again to lower the lifting arm and position your legs behind the oversize rollers to work the quadriceps muscles through a leg extension exercise.
