GymRatZ Vertical Leg Press
Heavy Duty Commercial Vertical Leg Press details:
I have always incorporated the vertical leg press into my leg workout sessions, one reason being the uniqueness of the beast and the different feel afforded compared to the traditional 45 degree leg press found in virtually every free weight gym I have ever had he pleasure to train in.
Another reason the vertical leg press scores points is it's smaller footprint and because there is none of the mechanical advantage in the lift that you get on a 45 degree leg press; that is to say that for every inch you press the weight upwards you increase the potential energy of the weight by a direct amount whereas if you are pressing the same weight on a 45 degree leg press you are lifting with a 2:1 advantage because for every inch you press, the weight only increases it's potential energy by 1/2" ....... or to put it another way.... you need half as much weight on the vertical leg press as you do on the 45 degree leg press.
(Well, that's how I understand the physics at least)
Dimensions of our GymRatZ Vertical Leg Press are 115cm wide, 125cm long
Lock-Outs: Like our 45 degree leg press this vertical press has 2 lock-out points which provides enough variation for most heights (and leg length) of user.
If you need convincing a little more about our Vertical Leg Press read on:
- Less loading weight required
- Less floor space needed (both length and width)
- The very best bearings available which just get beter and better with age!
- Colour coded to match your existing gym equipment
- Makes your gym that little bit more special than any other gyms in the area.
NOTE: We have found the "Silver" Hammered finish to be extremely hard wearing and easily disguises accidental gym damage. This along with the Black upholstery is by far the most popular colours for our heavy duty commercial gym equipment, but we will try and match colours to your specific requirements.
Please also note that all our GymRatZ commercial gym equipment is custom made to order and as such once manufacture has started the order can not be cancelled and refunds can not be given. Lead times will vary depending on the workload of our elite ninja fabricators and their bezzie-mates at the powder coaters. Sometimes they get stuff made really quickly by manipulating time!!
Still not convinced? what about....... "THE VERTICAL LEG PRESS IS AWESOME" ?
