FORCE USA Monster Ultimate 45 Degree Leg Press/Hack Squat Combo

Pros:The best packaging Ive ever seen. Very, very good job insuring no item was damaged. Also, they shrink wrapped the bolts/nuts separately for each step. It was a very smooth process.Sturdy. Smooth range of motion. Comfortable pads. Looks good.Cons:The back/chest pad comes off way to easily when doing squats. I feel like they could have done a better job making it secure. This is my biggest complaint, and for as much as this costs its unacceptable.The T-bar is unsteady when doing calf-raises. Im forced to do calf raises while seated. Not a big deal to me, but it may be to some people.The locking mechanism doesnt feel like its long enough. Im somewhat used to it now, but I feel like it should be lower. I know its a trivial complaint, but it could be better.

This product has a super smooth range of motion! I am 6’8”. Most leg press/hack machines stop at 6’4” , and it is a strange feeling to have a fitness product actually fit my body (this is spec’d up to 7’). As a notoriously unhandy person, this was even easy for me to assemble! It is time consuming, but worth it. I own several FORCE USA products (MyRack, side chest cable/lat pull down) and they have made the process of putting together a Legit gym in my basement financially possible. Delivery was excellent as well. Honestly, I could not be any more pleased. Stellar solution!

The media could not be loaded.  Great buy only complaint is the stopper on the leg press which prevent you on going to depth while doing hack squats. I cut that piece off and now it’s perfect! I’m 5’6 just for reference

This machine has ultra slick foot plates and when you try to hack squat with it, you slide off super easily and get hurt. Way too dangerous as is. Also took three days to assemble with very vague instructions and no part labeling. If you don’t mind getting injuries, than this is the machine for you!

Fast shipping, comes in 4 boxes, all bolts and fasteners are in numbered shrink wrap packages that match the page in the instructions. Whoever thought of that has spent time assembling things in the past. Took some time to assemble but I was not in a hurry. Once assembled it was time to tighten all the bolts with my DeWalt impact and wrench. Loaded it with 190 lbs and started doing some leg presses. I'm very happy with this system. It took me over a month to make up my mind to purchase and I am very glad I did. I use it daily now

I think Force has made a great machine for a home gym. The assembly instructions are the best I have ever seen. Bolts and nuts are all shrink-wrapped on a sheet of cardboard and grouped with the phase of assembly by that number, well done!!! Whomever came up with that deserves a bonus!!!The product support was fast and easy to deal with. The logistics were well coordinated and arrived with no issues.The machine works great, I have been very impressed with it. I have done presses with 10 plates now and no problem at all with stability, the parts move smoothly under heavy load.I would highly recommend this product.

I love my leg press! I use this leg press religiously! it’s really helped me shape my body in all the right places! It’s so heavy and sturdy and not too wide so it fits perfectly in my garage gym. I highly recommend.

I was very surprised by the quality of this machine. It could easily go in a commercial gym. Easy instructions to assemble it. Very heavy duty. Love it.
