TRIAD Leg Press Hack Squat

Triad leg press hack squat

This machine looks very similar to Northern Fitness’s one. What I liked: 1. Good communication and quick shipping 2. Assembly was easy, took about 3 hours working alone 3. The construction feels solid 4. Spacious foot plate, one of the largest on the market 5. Feels pretty comfortable 6. Warranty seems to be better than standard on the market What I question: 1. The website description says that weight capacity is 800 lbs. The manual says 200 kg (440 lbs). Considering it’s a 45 degree press, 200 kg is not too much and limits you to high rep work. 2. The maximum space for plates is about 6 bumper plates per side. So, 540 lbs. 3. Precision does not seem to be great. The shuttle makes scratching noise even with low load (270 lbs on the video, you can hear the noise). I don’t think it will cause any problem, it’s just annoying a bit. 4. Handles are wrapped in a weird material. It changes colour when touched, so it starts looking dirty right away.

Works great

Easy to assemble and works as it should. Highly recommend if your thinking of a home leg press
