Body Solid VLP156 Powerline Series Leg Trainer Vertical Leg Press

Bought this machine as I've got chicken legs and wanted to try and build them up a bit. I've been squatting for about a year but only once a week and although my legs have got bigger I think I've hit the plateau with the squat exercise. I also find that before you can push your legs to the limit with a squat you are gasping for breath and cant give your legs the workout you want to. This machine fitted the bill perfectly. I thought it might feel a bit awkward doing the exercise but it feels natural and comfortable. The machine is well built and I felt completely safe with all that weight above my body (thought I wouldn't) Was easy enough to put together (1hr 30 min) It doesn't take up much space either which was another concern of mine and you can really isolate your leg muscles to give them a good workout. I wouldn't give up the squat exercise as it works the whole body but after a few sets of squats this machine enables you to isolate the legs and give them the workout they need. 5 stars for this machine!

Strong construction,does everything I hoped it would.Compact enough to not take up an extensive amount of space,but well proportioned enough to accomodate a large adult.I recommend this product.

A really nice piece of kit. Does the job as well as more expensive gym kit.

The item was dispatched the same day as the order was received and arrived the following day. With this efficiency and service I can highly recommend this supplier

Worth every penny

This is not half as sturdy as it appears on the photo. Was fairly easy to assemble though you will need some sheer arm power.

De lo único de lo que me arrepiento es de no haberla comprado desde hace 15 años. De esas inversiones en la vida como ir a la universidad, aprender idiomas, etc que desde el minuto 1 solo redituan ganancias. El aflojatodo es obligatorio para engrasar las barras y eliminar el ruido, comprenlo al mismo tiempo. También las mangas para discos de 2 pulgadas. Las venden en el sitio del fabricante al precio más bajo que pude encontrar. Si eres de baja estatura y tus piernas no alcanzan a flexionarse al máximo, puedes añadir una tabla de 1 o 2 pulgadas de madera a la plancha de apoyo y sujetarla con un par de abrazaderas en C. El peso maximo que soportan es ideal para mantenerse en forma, no para romper récords olímpicos de halterofilia.

If you are looking for a good leg workout that doesn't take up a lot of room or cost a lot I would recommend this.

Lieferung: Die Lieferung ging sehr schnell habe Sonntag bestellt Montag wurde es Versandt und Dienstag kam schon die Spedition die mich auch vorher noch angerufen hat ob ich jetzt auch Zuhause sei und sie es Liefern können. Aufbau: nach dem auspacken aller Teile und dem vorsortieren ging der "Spaß" los. Die Anleitung ist eigentlich recht einfach zu verstehen man kann es auch ohne Probleme alleine aufbauen, ich habe ca 2 - 2 1/2 Stunden gebraucht hab aber auch manchmal 2 linke Hände bei sowas also es würde locker schneller gehen. Kleiner Tipp am rande, zieht alle Schrauben erst ganz zum Schluss wenn dass komplette Gerät fertig da steht richtig fest, denn wenn ihr vorher schon wenn ein Part fertig gebaut ist dort alle Schrauben festschraubt bekommt ihr andere Parts nicht mehr ran geschraubt weil dann die löcher durch das verziehen nicht mehr aufeinander passen und ihr dann denkt die löcher wären falsch gebohrt und ihr auch die ganzen Schrauben von vorher wieder lockern dürft was wie bei mir alles sehr viel Zeit gekostet hat. Beinpresse: Die Beinpresse an sich macht einen sehr soliden und stabilen eindruck, ist auch schön kompakt und klein gut für Homegyms. Man kann die Beinpresse entweder mit Gewichtsscheiben oder so wie bei mir auch auf den Bildern zu sehen mit Gummibändern "beschweren", es werden auch extra kleine grip aufkleber für die Gummibänder mitgeliefert die man oben auf die Stange kleben kann. Die Stangen die in der führung laufen, würde ich etwas einfetten denn ohne quitscht es ein wenig. Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Beinpresse für mein Homegym, ja der Preis hat es in sich aber man bekommt ein solides Gerät wo man keine Angst haben muss dass gleich alles zusammenbricht. Und wegen der RoM ich bin 1,76 und ich komme ganz tief runter auf der niedrigsten Stufe, allerdings Leuten unter 1,70 würde ich es evtl nicht mehr empfehlen wegen der RoM.

Non sono un amante delle macchine per le gambe perchè nulla può sostituire lo squat. A causa di problemi a spalla e frequenti dolori ad un ginocchio, ho trovato questo prodotto. Devo dire che pure essendoci in commercio presse sicuramente migliori, il rapporto qualità/prezzo di questo attrezzo è imbattibile. Inoltre, è tra i pochissimi attrezzi che si possono caricare anche con dischi da diametro di 25mm. Chi ha quintali di pesi così capisce il vantaggio di non dovere ricomprare qualche quintale di pesi da diametro superiore. I 180kg di carico massimo indicato corrispondono grosso modo a 150-160kg di squat. Se pertanto non siete in grado di fare 20-30 reps con 150kg di squat, questo attrezzo fa al caso vostro. Se siete molto più forti, allora cercate altro.

This was purchased because I can no longer safely do back squats after a neck injury but consider maintaining leg and hip strength crucial. The question always comes up of whether is this as good as back squats. The answer in my opinion is no but it is infinitely better than nothing. Great adjunct to front squats and deadlifts. Assembly is easy and very straight forward. Nuts and bolts were well marked and are quality. Seems very well engineered for a relatively inexpensive product. Years ago my first gym experience (a fireman's garage gym) had a vertical leg press and I still consider the vertical far superior to the angled presses or those silly leverage presses. The foot placement area is relatively small which I like. It forces you to press with the balls of your feet which is what you do in virtually every real life movement outside the gym. Just be aware of it. The only minor downsides to consider are; 1) the head rest is fixed so it becomes one size fits all (fortunately it works for me), 2) it is a little wobbly at the top which makes doing alternate leg presses a bit difficult. Neither are a big deal for me. And by the way- you don't need to buy a sleeve to make Olympic plates work. Just stick a small 1 inch plate on the bottom as a washer, make your own sleeves with pvc and pipe insulation(visit your local construction trash pile) or just use them as is. They aren't going anywhere.
