What do you guys think of the Squat Leverage Machine?

[armyranger516862006]

I am not wanting to take Barbell Squats out completely. But i feel like i am getting a better workout with the Leverage Machine. Will using this machine build muscle in the lower body? Thanks!

start at 8:14. these are better than hack squat machines, its the closest to the real squats without hurting your back. of course nothing replaces barbell squats.

Not tooting my own horn but I must have strong legs, for my last set I do 10/45 each side for 15(I know they did a shit load) but I get almost 50% more of a rep motion wise,I guarantee their rep count would be cut in half if they went knees to chest, they don't seem to be going very far down? and I know I can do more, i'm just afraid of tearing something at 40 lol

But they do much more than I on hack squat, if I go above three plates my friggin knees would explode. And that last exercise is supposed to be the new squat? better on your back from what I hear. no matter what, these guys will have crippling knees problems when they get older.
