Your genuine enthusiasm is contagious.

I'm a simple man I see new HGHR video, I watch and thumbs up 👍🏼

Well thought out and thorough as always!

Another piece added to the collection! You pretty much have a Powertec showroom at this point! Well done review buddy.

Great update . Did consider purchasing this a few years ago but quite happy with my pendulum and belt squat now . Good to see powertec updating the equipment. Wonder what will be next . Keep up the great content HGHR .

Great review as always! I’ve had this on my wishlist since 2020 and this gives me more reason to pull the trigger. I love the changes and the ROM this has.

Great video as always!! I have terrible ankle dorsiflexion as well. Trying to work on it daily though.

Thanks for a great video! answered all the questions i had

The 5º incremental seat angle adjustments are impressive for something at this price point. Great video, thx.

Already got the powertec compact leg sled and absolutely love it. But still enjoy to see you testing their new stuff. Keep up the good work 👍🏻🫶🏻

Nice upgrades to an already great piece of equipment!

Ive got the old one, still great quality. Nice to see powertec continuing to improve on their products.

Looks good, HGHR! I just went the ForceUSA route (wanted hack squat also), but this model looks great!

Going to forsure get one this black friday.

looks good. I will say since the 90s ive always wanted a hack press/leg press combo. BUT as you know i bought the Titan compact hack press a couple years ago. I liked it "ok"..My issue with those machines is the angle is just to relaxed. Id rather it be more 45 degree or close to it OR even a bit more. The new leg press looks great. Glad they fixed a couple of the issues. I dont see me ever buying another dedicated press or hack machine. BUT never say never lol.. Have a good day HGHR..

Very good summary for this fantastic product. Your Daisy Chain Hack is also brilliant! Best wishes from Germany, Torben

Thank you for this review, I hope that Powertec will quickly update their pec fly attachment to give it a good resistance curve that is almost perfect because in my opinion it is the product that needs an update quickly

This solves all my gripes with my ‘19 version. Won’t be selling to replace, but great changes for those who are buying a new one. Also, I agree with you that the compact leg sled slightly edges out the leg press.

It definitely looks like an improvement on the previous model. I have the previous model and mine has started to grind a bit with heavier weights. I've been using your Angles 90 hack you had in a previous video and it helps a lot with being able to hold myself in place. I find I can't reach the handles without holding a crunch. I wish they would have made the bottom safety adjustable. I like to go deep, but find I don't really have a usable safety when I do. I keep thinking about selling mine and buying a pendulum squat.

knowing this might be a bit outside your market, but would like to see your review of the york sts 35 degree leg press.

Looks great. Other reviews of other brands of home leg press and leg press/hack combos have been underwhelming.

After only one day from powertec announcement 🔥🔥🔥

Man i wish you could get your hands on an atx levergym for a review!

Great review and informative as always. I wonder if Powertec would throw their hat in the ring into making a hack/leg press combo (space saving). I currently own the body solid, which is great on space but want a smoother upgrade. Powertec’s combo would certainly be better than Titan and would be interesting how it compared to forceUSA and body craft. Any discussions on your end about Powertec making a hack/press combo?

Great review! If you had limited space and could only pick one, would you take the Powertec Leg Press or Rogue Belt Squat?

I purchased the lat-pull-down machine and unfortunately was missing 2 boxes of the weighted plates/stickers for it also the "powertec" sign was missing the screw adapters all on one column so It's not secured down properly and finally a plastic piece from the knee adjustment part was broken....parts come in this Saturday , hoping everything is there and I can use my new machine. The packaging was top notch I will say with no sign of damage to the boxes with wrap all around securing the boxes but maybe powertec could use a better quality control check before parts going out. This machine is very nice when setup and takes very little space, I put weight on the weight horns to give it a try and was impressed with how the machine felt. Eager to get the rest of my weights in !

Great review, i was debating between a straight leg press machine and a combo one with a Hack squat and this video helped answer the dilemma i am having. In your opinion do you pretty much hit all the leg muscles with this straight leg press that its unnecessary for any potential benefit from a Hack squat combo machine?

Hey brotha, love your content!! I too have a multipress bench, but havent been able to use it yet due to having surgery on a torn pec tendon.. one question, are you able to do squats on the multipress? Maybe bench squats if you move the bench all the way back at a decline? 🤷‍♂️ let me know if youve tried that or if its possible, thanks 👍

Light years better than mine lol they know how to make good equipment

imho if they make the footplate adjustable in different angles, they will achieve the definitive model.

Will you review ritfit’s 2-In-1 Leg & Hack Machine?

Glad to see they updated the machine but I’m disappointed that they didn’t seem to do anything about the range of motion. I had one of these and returned it because the ROM was subpar. I don’t know why they are still welding the bottom stops onto the catch bar. They should allow you to set the depth of the press all the way to the bottom if you’d like. Unfortunately, it’s just not worth the money if you have to use yoga pads to get deep enough.

Nice review as always buddy. So the big question as I see it, is... what are you getting for the extra money from the new leg press over the new leg press attachment? Not having tried either of the new machines, I am assuming we have a greater weight loading potential from the dedicated machine over the attachment? Or do you think the way the attachment takes less weight to really load the quads, the new 400lb capacity is also enough for most people not to be able to max out with reps? One example to put what I am talking about is... I can just about max out a 138kg (300lb) stack on a hammer strength leg extension at the gym (on a so called 1:1 ratio), yet on my body solid G6B at home I can only manage 120lbs (on a 1:2 ratio) under the same HIT conditions. The Leg ex. Powertec attachment is also nice for both exercises, but easy to max out on the 90-100kg (200lb) weight loaded post. To note..The G6B is a fantastic and convenient cable leg ex that does take a 10mm gym pin well enough. All things considered and to confirm my question, If both Powertec Leg press machines here in question cannot be easily maxed out, what are you getting for spending the extra investment in the leg press machine over the attachment? Or is it a case that the attachment is easier to max out?

look like a nice update. unfortunately the range of motion this allows is too limited. the safety stop is set too high and is not adjustable

I’m planning to use this leg press with no shoes in the video at around 8 where you are pressing at the curvy part do you think if I use no shoes it will feel uncomfortable ?

I wonder if Powertec would sell the new angled footplate individually for the owners of the previous model leg press that want it and if it's compatible with the previous one?

How does the powered leg sled feel does it feel like a mini hack squat to you ? I have bad knees

I got a question the older one before this one the handles are kinda hard to reach for me is this new updated version are the handles closer or no?

The Powertec is the Best Leg Press machine within this price range and it is the best value of all Leg Press machines. You are the King of hacks, you do love your hacks Surprised me to know you like the Leg Press when it has been noted by Scientists and everyone how bad they are for lower backs, to the point where most Bodybuilders even Mentzer said they are a terrible machine to use.

An yo even out your feet at the curvy top part ?

Hii please help me get this answer I was wondering if I buy the new one and if I buy the old one can I use the new one and switch the new diamond plate for the old one so I have the new version but I only keep the old flat diamond ? Can I do that since you have both do you know if I can do that

Is this more compact the Titan fitness leg press hack squat ?

Hey, again, just wanted to update you. The old version 2019 model can go up to 400lb, okay form cause I'm new to the leg press, i did 5, reps. Because it was my first time I am temped to see the max limit but I shouldn't go higher than 400lb the material is very similar to rogue fitness racks very high end and happy with it, so I figure I test it out,. So I know I can trust that it can go to 400lb max. I did 400lb felt super safe and super sterdy i wouldn't go above 400lb, I personally think the new one can go to 500lb like the rack from the leaverage gym I think they under rate it so people won't be stupid and ego lift harder than last time and max out and break it., I was 100% ego lifting and Ik it with the 400lb hahaha, I have tested it knowing that it can potenailly break. My intuition was right worth the risk, tbh I know 400lb is max for 2019 and safe, I have Rogue urtherane plates 350lb set no issues. if I was to use cast iron only plates, I know for a fact the machine wouldn't survive it. I do own 445lb cast iron old school but seperate rooms for seperate gym hahaha. I also notice that depending on the postistion on the bench, you can work hamstrings quads and calfs all at once. Great machine. I wouldn't go over 400lb with either old or new model. I love it regardless of the best item to have in a tight space. 400lb max with less space, which is a great safer, is amazing. for a small compact machine, 400lb max, makes sense to me.

The machines looks smaller which is a good thing with the less 2 upright does it feel smaller to you?

Can you do me a favor can you leg press it at the curvy top part like you did around 8 but do it with no shoes and tell me if it doesn’t feel comfortable

Hi I just got done assembling the machine out the safety stop with the rubber only one side touched the rubber the other side doesn’t does yours have that problem

What is the maximum hieght of someone who would use the compact leg sled?

I don’t get why they curved the top on the new one ??

If I could only get 1 machine, press or sled?

looks like a toss up between teh sled or the press. I guess it has to come down to the space.

Great review.

The angel is too high. I'd prefer a leg press with guide rods at around 35°

I absolutely disagree with you when it comes to not being able to train the hamstrings/glutes on a leg press machine. If you widen your feet and place them slightly outwards and very high on the platform (toes may even extend above the platform), you will definitely train your hamstrings and glutes!

Only 1000lb weight capacity? Light weight
