I have the opportunity to pick one up reasonably cheap but I've never tried one and can't get to try this one as I will be collected by someone else if I buy. Have people used it. It's not a cybex model but I think similar or same design. I've read a few positives saying feels better than 45 degree normal one.

My gym has one similar, everyone calls it fhe 'easy' leg press as you can press about 200kg more than a normal one with it lol
Ive heard a few say this. Load up 10 plates a side easy. Have you tried it steph?
 
There is one of these at one of the gyms I train at, it's a decent bit of kit. I prefer it to the conventional leg press. The one at our gym is harder than the normal one though

Yeah I quite like using it for single leg press but it's the last one I would go too out of the 3 leg presses we have
 
Used one some time ago and yeah it allows you to load more weight on and feels 'easy' in comparison to an 45 % job.
Kinda a nice action but felt less effective somehow.

I'd sooner have one that required far less plates if I was the one buying plates to load it up. :)
 
Cheers @Reacher ive actually got a hammer style horizontal and that thing at 3-4 plates per side is brutal. Feels like 7-8 plates on a 45 degree
 
I prefer this machine by a mile. The normal 45 degree irritates my sciatic nerve. This doesn't whatsoever.
Was going to mention this as well, normal leg press has me in a horrible position at the bottom and hurts my back where as squat press doesn't

I never go heavy enough on leg press to justify cheating :D.

One of my mates does it all the time, boasts to people he can do 450kg for reps but if he's wearing a vest all you can see it veins and muscles contracting in his chest and arms :rofl:
