New toy for my home gym

**redz** · 12-07-2009, 12:42 PM

I just thought I'd show off my new toy in my gym, it is a combination leg press and hack squat machine.

http://www.nlfit.com/product.asp?cat...product_id=512

It also came with 360lbs of plates too which goes well with the other 425lbs I already have.

This fits in nicely with the rest of my gym which consists of:
-Squat/power rack with bench
-heavy bag
-speed bag
-cable cross over machine with various attatchments
-dumbells
-curl bars
-exercise ball
-bar in ceiling for knee lifts/leg raises
-eliptical cross trainer

The last 3 things I really want is something to do dips and a decline bench for decline bench press and sit ups. Also my bench is missing the leg curl extension so If I get that I think I`ll have everything covered.

Very nice, lets get a pic of the whole gym package.

**redz** · 12-07-2009, 04:36 PM

Yeah I`ll have to take some pics, I need to re-organize some things so I can fit a few more additions.

**redz** · 12-07-2009, 05:35 PM

I dont miss going to the gym at all I am way more focused and have better intensity at home.

used to have one of those in highschoool football gym. ours was always tearing up though. pads ripping off and the pin to hold the foot plate up broke

**Hazard** · 12-07-2009, 07:42 PM

**xlxBigSexyxlx** · 12-07-2009, 07:45 PM

Yeah, I would like to see some pics too.

I hate going to the gym, I really do. The gay ****ing atmosphere, the shit loads of people, weights always being used and misplaced, etc...

I would much rather just go to my garage or something and do work.

**JinNtonic** · 12-07-2009, 08:12 PM

Thats what I need to add to my home Gym.

**BgMc31** · 12-07-2009, 11:58 PM

I definitely need one of those. That's the only thing I'm missing...a good leg press.

**stpete** · 12-08-2009, 12:10 AM

Looks good to me Redz. The only thing i don't like is the ass rest when doing leg presses. My ass is a little too big for it. haha.....Have fun w/ it!

**thai-lan** · 12-08-2009, 01:16 AM

lol as soon as i saw it , i told myself that Hope its not legpress b/c even my gym hasnt got sled legpress !! and god damn it !!!

**redz** · 12-08-2009, 12:44 PM

I know it can fit atleast 16 plates, maybe 18 not sure yet I havent loaded it to the max yet. I`m pretty sure I can find a way to make it have more resistance if needed.

**3day** · 12-08-2009, 02:12 PM

Nice.Wish i could add it to my gym.Maybe next Christmas

I agree, I would love being able to go to my garage or something and blare my own music and do work.

**redz** · 12-08-2009, 06:37 PM

Well I am not too worried about the weight, I think its 18 plates which is 810lbs plus the center piece weighs atleast 40lbs so that would be 850 plus I`m sure I could rig it to hold more if I really needed it. I didnt pay anywhere near the price in the link, I got it barely used with the weights and a plate rack for $820 cdn.

**daytrader** · 12-08-2009, 08:56 PM

nice baby... i use to be one to feed off the gym atmosphmere., but the more i think about the more i think home gym could be nice... train balistically, like a goofy, yelling animal

**Friend** · 12-09-2009, 01:03 AM

I'm so fvcking jealous of people with home gyms.

**redz** · 12-09-2009, 02:09 PM

Awsome...let us know how you like it...Im in the market also. Did you get it from a site that had used equipment? At the price thats a steal!

I found it on kijiji some ritch guy was selling it. I got him to come down on his asking price there isnt even a mark on the one I got something tells me he barely used it.

**rx8rone** · 12-09-2009, 05:46 PM

you can buy 100lbs plates like my gym has!

SAME!!!! i hate not being able to press

**moregunsthanroses** · 12-09-2009, 06:34 PM

It looks like you've got yourself a pretty good setup. I've pretty much lifted exclusively at home so I've just stuck with squats, front squats and lunges for legs

How heavy do your DB's go up to? I've had a powerblock for a few years and it only goes up to 90lbs which sorta sucks. I should have bought the add on that goes up to 130
