Muscle D Leverage Leg Press - PL-P-LP
The Muscle D Leverage Leg Press Machine is a piece of strength training gear that develops the size and strength of the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, hips, and calves.
The Muscle D MDP-2001 is a leg press machine that is biomechanically designed to offer a natural pressing motion while pivoting on a heavy-duty pillow block bearing system, as opposed to leg press machines whose carriage rides on linear bearings or urethane rollers. This means that the user cannot be pinned in the event of a missed rep. With lots of room for stacking weight plates, on its chrome weight sleeves.
The upper and lower backs are supported by thick closed-cell foam padding, and there are numerous foot placement possibilities on the roomy diamond plate foot platform to address various leg muscles. Additionally, the leg press frame is made of sturdy 11-gauge tube steel that has a baked-on platinum powder coat finish.
