The Force USA Leg Extension/Leg Curl Machine is an excellent addition to any home gym. I contacted the store to inquire about the machine, and the friendly sales representative helped me finalise the purchase over the phone. Shipping was quick, and the delivery process went smoothly.
The equipment is compact, sturdy, and easy to assemble. I appreciate how convenient it is to incorporate this machine into my home workouts. However, as it is plate-loaded, I did find it a bit tricky to fine-tune the ideal angle and strength curve using the pull-pin adjuster.
The reason I'm giving this equipment 4 stars instead of 5 is due to a couple of design issues. First, the shin pad is not adjustable in length, which means it can rotate during exercises. For someone like me, who is on the shorter side, this can cause the pad to slip under my heels during leg curls. A simple workaround is using Velcro straps around the lever arm to hold the pad in place (as pictured), but it would be better if this feature were built into the design.
Additionally, the handle grips are positioned quite low and wide, which may not be ideal for everyone. The angle of the back pad is also fixed and cannot be adjusted for added comfort or support.
It would be great to see future improvements to the design, particularly in making the shin pad length adjustable to accommodate users of different heights. Overall, it's a solid machine that delivers great results, but these small adjustments could make it even better.
