awesome
Years ago back in the late 80's early 90's competed in bodybuilding and now at age 38 working on getting back in that shape or better. One of my strongest parts was legs and did many squats to get my legs where they used to be. But over the years I kind of slacked off due to lower back pain due to straight bar squats not to mention it took 8 sets to feel much of anything. With being 6' tall it is hard to really isolate and get that perfect burn in the legs. I can honestly say that since I got this machine I absolutely love it. It only took 1 set to give me the burn I have been after all these years and absolutely no back pain. It helps put you in the exact perfect position.. Not only is this great for squat but also for calves and shrugs.. Extremely durable... It is commercial rated and I sure wish I would have had access to this when I was in my late teens and early 20's.. With Body Solid you get commercial quality at affordable prices..

Good Machine but Somewhat Limited
I bought this squat machine with the intent of getting some serious leg and buttock exercise while taking it easy on my knees which had gotten more painful in recent years. For that goal, I am pleased with the machine. It's reasonably sturdy and has enough weight capacity for a decent workout. That said, it does have some shortcomings and nuisance issues that decrease its potential value. While I find the angled platform great for reducing knee stress, it's a little too narrow in my opinion and I am taking the entire width up while wishing for the ability to take a slightly wider stance. Another 12 inches of width and a slightly more solid mount would have been greatly appreciated. The lever used to lock the shoulder assembly in the upper position is, as someone else reported, a real hassle to operate easily. After 8 workouts with the machine, I still have trouble releasing the lever. Replacing the lever at the end of a set is a little better but still far from being as simple and...
Build some legs
I haven't had this long, enough for just a couple leg workouts and about 6 calf workouts, but I think I have enough experience with it to share my thoughts.
The first thing I noticed is that it takes a little getting used to. With plates on it there is a little work just to get under the pads and the feet into the proper spot on the angled foot plate. I'm not that tall (5'11") but I still have to squat way down to get into position but its not that terrible. I suppose if your very tall you might find that somewhat uncomfortable. Ive read reviews of the Powertec leverage squat and a taller reviewer said he had issues with it so maybe its just something you go through with these types of machines.
Now to the important part...the workout. First off the angled foot plate allows for multiple foot positions which is great because you can work your legs slightly differently depending on foot position. One thing that took some getting used to is leaning back into the...
