Remove the metal peg stopper, and you can go from leg extension to leg curl seamlessly. And as noted, start further back with leg extension and higher up on leg curl and you'll get more resistance in the beginning. I have a lot of Titan equipment, this is my far my fav.

Recommend you remove that stop pin for the weight arm. Makes transitioning from leg extension to leg curl much easier. No need to flip th arm all the way upland around. Also, for greater resistance at the bottom you can set the weight arm up further in front and the leg arm further back. You can also attach a low cable to it for resistance.

I believe the Body Solid and XMark versions of this machine have a pin that pulls out so you don't have to swing the weight arm around 350 degrees. It would be nice if that same pin was also movable along an arc like the arm for the legs. This way you could start the weight arm from a 8 or 4 o'clock position instead of 6 but that would require a huge piece of steel. I had the Body Solid version but sold it pre-Covid for $250 (facepalm) Wish I had it back

You can actually adjust the arm so the resistance is a lot more consistent. For leg extension just set it deeper in, and for curls just set it higher. That makes the starting point heavier.

I got one of these recently! One thing that I've done, especially for leg extensions, is I put the pad WAY back. Then when I get into it, the load is already on my legs when I get to resting position (pull it forward basically while I sit down), and then I have resistance more throughout instead of just at the top. :D

If you put a 5-25lb plate on the stop pin for the weight arm it works better. It makes the starting weight higher. Also helps to get more ROM on extensions. Partner takes it off during the first rep and replaces it on the last.

Coop try this for the resistance through ROM. Stack some stuff (ideally silencer pads) under the plates in the resting position so that the weight arm is at 45 degrees in the bottom position. This should make the resistance higher in the beginning, highest in the middle of the ROM, and then a bit lower when getting to full contraction.

I see that it's got pin holes all around the disc. If you wanted more resistance at the bottom you could pin it so that the weight arm is closer to horizontal. When the weight arm is vertical the first movement of the weight is forward (or backward), so it's not going against gravity so the resistance is minimized. When the weight arm is horizontal your lifting the entirety of the weight with no assistance from the weight arm. Having said that, with the load moving through an arc like that it is indeed unavoidable that the resistance will vary throughout the ROM. But you could work 45 degrees below to 45 degrees above parallel to stay in the range that provides the most resistance.

The the weight plates will offer the most resistance when it is moving vertically. Make bumpers in varied sizes that go on the stop pin. These bumpers would hold the resistance arm at a more optimal starting point, say 7:30 (on a clock face) so that vertical resistance is in play from the initial movement.

The lack of resistance for both movements at the start of the rep is super easy to fix. Rather than the weight plates rest at the bottom against that pipe 'stop', if the plates were supported perhaps 4-6 inches up either side from the bottom resting position, then when you commence the contraction movement, the weight is already within the resistance range.

It seems like a very cool piece to add in such a small space. With the weight stack versions of these in commercial gyms they're just too expensive to justify having them in a garage gym generally. I wonder if you said it next to a weight stack you have for something like lat pulldown or row you could just extend that cable and use that on the horn and it would probably take care of quite a bit of that early free travel the plate loaded variety has. I would personally love to have one of these in my garage gym just to be able to go over and get a pump in the thighs or hamstring two or three times a day.

I know Titan still to this day gets a ton of hate but I gotta tell you, I got my first power rack 2mnths ago, the x3 flat foot and it's been flawless with the exception I can't use band pegs inside the rack for benching due to the corner post plates being around 7 inches off the ground leaving me too much slack. Since then I've got the Econo Reverse Hyper, Tbar landmine platform, bicep/tricep preacher machine and a few landmine attachments and so far all have performed better than I thought when looking at their reviews. Just ordered the pec fly machine a few days ago so we'll see. I did however go with the BoS plate loaded lat pulldown over the Titan selectorized due to pricing but may convert it later down the road. They must've stepped up their game with everything from quality to shipping. They could do better on some pricing but like every other company they price gouge because they all know we'll pay for it one way or another.

Way around the resistance issue - connect a cable machine (I have a freemotion cable crossover) to the weight peg in addition to the plates. Make sure the cable is perfectly in line with the bottom of the leg extension/curl movement and I typically put the same weight on the cable stack as the plate (45 lb plate and 45 lb cable stack) to even out the resistance. Cable pulls at the bottom of the movement to give you resistance at the bottom and then at the top when the cable isn’t as much resistance the plate has max resistance with gravity. I use an ankle cuff and a plate collar to attach the cable to the weight peg and secure the plate/cable. Hope that helps/makes sense!

@@GarageGymReviews yes I own the valor fitness CC4 (similar to the titan) and use leg extensions and curls this way for training. If I want to emphasize the shortened position on leg extensions I will add more weight in plates than the cable so it is harder at the top but still smoother than weight plates alone without the cable, and if I want to emphasize the more lengthen quad position at the start of the movement I’ll make the cable heavier than the weight plates. Similar logic with the leg curl as well. Makes for a decent substitute for commercial leg ext/curls. Not as good as a prime leg curl/extension but for my tiny space it works.

The weight horn portion needs to start at a slight angle forward (10 degrees or so) and the leg pad needs to be offset backwards by about 10 degrees. That would make it so you get tension through the full ROM. At least for the leg extension portion. If that doesn’t make sense, let me know. I can draw it out.

As far as resistance at the bottom of the movement on Leg Ext. Could you build a platform to put under the front? Move it to the back for Curls? Certainly NOT convenient, but a possible solution?

They are currently not shipping until January but, I'd like to see you do a review of the Yukon Leg & Core machine. It does Leg curls both seated & prone, leg extensions, ab crunch & back extensions for $599. I'm really interested in it but I've only seen one person's short written review of it. It looks like it could be a great deal if it does all the things it says it does...& does them half decently. It really needs a review by Coop.👍

if the plates were raised like 30 degrees, you would start with some resistance and the peak 90° would be slightly before the top end. i don't know how to explain it but i hope someone gets the point

@alidan

just a thought, but if they added a handle to the top of the of where you load plates, you could adjust the foot part to easily be further back, then pull back with the arm handle, and get feet in. that would allow more resistance at the start. personally this wouldn't even be a factor to judge on unless they make something that's perfect in nearly the same price bracket.
@alidan
@alidan Жыл бұрын
potentially have a stop the weight is always at minimum at a 90 degree angle to the back or to the front, then have some form of a quick connect for an inset to decide where on the pole you want to put the weight, nice and up close, or further away... would it increase the space it takes up... when in use yes, but they could have a neutral straight up position for when it's not in use. it would greatly add to the total weight of resistance, while making sure you can easily get your legs in to position safely.
@brettduce5243
@brettduce5243 3 жыл бұрын
There are other brands that allow you to choose the starting position for the weight arm. So for leg extensions you can have the weight arm extended up at the start of the motion which improves the amount of resistance at the start of the rep.

What I'd love to see you review: Rackable Leg Curl/Extension devices: Titan vs Bells of Steel vs Bullet Proof Fitnesses Isolator. What's the best isolated leg attachment for a rack? Titan's is $550, BOS is $400, and Bullet Proof Fitness's Isolator is $900 (when not on sale). Yes the BPF Isolator does a lot more, but you're paying twice the price. Also for this kind of attachment, they all seem to be around 70-80lbs which is a bit odd for what's supposed to be a removable attachment for a rack... anyway that's my rant and am sure that this comparison would be a popular video and a fun one for you!

@Kendharma
@Kendharma 3 жыл бұрын
Tried it and it doesn't work. The cable has to wrap around the full laser cut circle to have the same effect as a weight stack. if you draw a circle and dot draw a straight line through the circle to the other side. That second point of where the line is perpendicular to the other side is a dead zone of no resistance since they technically reach the same point. If that makes any sense lol.
