Reviewing what I believe is the sweet spot for leg press / hack squat combo machines (really this does four key leg exercises), by Force USA. I was both excited and hesitant on reviewing this machine as I wasn't sure how it would perform and how it fit in my garage. Thankfully this thing is the perfect leg machine and its fits nicely in the space. ‪@forceusa1092‬ ‪@StevieRichardsFitness‬

[@vincentlivoti4184]

Happy New Year Mike 🎉. Looks like a solid piece of fitness equipment.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Vincent. Same to my friend.

[@eladmitchell752]

leg press/hack squat is nice,with that calve option💯not to big,it does look like a job putting together but worth it,the pros definitely out weigh the cons,when i see machines like this im like a kid in a candy store,congrats on that piece mike😊

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you Elad

[@theozwalter3009]

That looks hella cool!!!😎

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks brother.

[@zangetsuengetsu2005]

It's cheaper in Thailand. Can be sent across the country. Gymware brand like Leg Press-Hack Squat machine. Price $ 552.36

[@ladouceurmatt]

How much was shipping?

[@MyHomeGym_]

Equipment looks solid. Premium option for the person that has extra room in their gym. This will definitely grow the legs 💯 Happy New Year!

[@hybridresistance]

Happy new year to you to brother.

[@liljoe7171]

Yup...(a "free" $2k machine)....having a good YT channel definitely has its advantages!! Ha! Good for u. I'd luv to b able to get this....assembly and placement would definitely b the nightmare of this ....u still gettin that car in there?!?! Ha! Thnx for your wrk in '23....best of luk in '24!👍🏋️‍♂️👍🏋️‍♂️

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you brother. Tried to allude to it in the video, but yes with 5min break down on the one side, cars can still roll in the garage believe it or not.

[@outtrigger]

looks like a great machine. the only other leg developing equipment i can think of are a tib bar and a legadductor/abductor (and no one has those in a home gym lol)

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks brother. I’ve been meaning to get more into the tibialis anterior training.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Seems to be better than Titan's version. Thanks for your review sir.

[@hybridresistance]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@chrisrgutierrez]

I followed Stevie Richards wrestling channel for some time. Found out he had a gym channel through you.

[@hybridresistance]

Love to hear that. Thank you.

[@Marine531]

Great review video. I have the body solid hack/leg press but am looking to upgrade to a linear bearing model. Have you seen the Bodycraft 760 (seems to have hack/Reg leg press/ hip sled/ calf raise)?

[@hybridresistance]

I haven't seen that one yet. Thanks for sharing that though.

[@thomasstarke7833]

I’ve been looking at that…gronk fitness does free shipping

[@davidelaurelli7664]

A big greeting from Italy. 😊 I would like to buy this model, but I'm afraid that the platform for performing the leg press is too small. Can you tell me the measurements of the platform on which your feet rest? The PRO version and V2 are currently on sale. Which one would you recommend? Price V2: 2.295 € Price PRO: 2.695 € Thank you 😊

[@loulopez554]

That's a power house.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Happy New Year, Mike. 09:41 is the Body Solid brand. I have it. Not good. (It doesn’t have the 2 track poles that your model has.) So when you use the Body Solid machine, the sliding part doesn’t move up/down evenly. Instead, it moves from side to side as it moves up/down. In less than a year or so, one of the track wheels malfunctioned, making the machine useless. Very poor design. Big mistake that I bought it.

[@hybridresistance]

Happy new year! Thanks for sharing that so everyone else has those details

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

@@hybridresistance You’re welcome, Mike. I also have the Body Solid seated Bicep/Tricep machine, and a Body Solid Smith Machine. Both are fabulous machines. Have both for over 20 years. Still like new. 😉

[@mariolp2999]

It looks good but too expensive In my opinion.. for 1000 dollars you can get a similar leg press... GMWD Leg press. although you can load less weight on it..

[@alphaomega7758]

How's the range of motion when using the hack squat?

[@hybridresistance]

It's good, you can get very deep on it.

[@MelloHubb]

​@hybridresistance hey man, do you think you can do a youtube short showing how deep you can get with the hack squat? Im 5-7 and my wife is 5'2 and im super curiois if we can hit depth on it

[@Steltzzz]

How is the hack squat depth??

[@hybridresistance]

I think very low. The depth as a whole on everything on here is perfect in my opinion.

[@trollzone1]

I want it. How much did it weigh?

[@hybridresistance]

I tried looking into it but couldn't find any information on that. All together, it's a beast of a machine but the individual metal long frame parts you can tell are not as solid as a commercial unit.

[@trollzone1]

I’ll call them and ask. It’s priced pretty reasonably. Cheaper models are like $1400 and they aren’t nearly as nice.

[@jasong760]

460 pounds

[@thomasstarke7833]

Can someone 5’5 get deep enough on hacks?

[@hybridresistance]

It get's pretty low, but I can't speak specifically if it will fit you and your depth ability. However, I 'd say this seems to have the lower capability of any combo press I've seen.

[@thomasstarke7833]

@@hybridresistance at 5’5, I go below parallel on hacks. Been wanting to buy one but want to make sure that I don’t get stuck with where I can only go to just above 90° on hacks. Am I wrong in thinking that if you pull the safety pin out that is attached to the seat that you can go down pretty deep?

[@SkylerKingTW]

That car is staying outside, now... 🫠

[@hybridresistance]

I can still pull two cars in this garage believe it not.
