Hack Squats - EliteFTS vs. Watson vs. Atlantis I'm in the market for a hack squat and I think I've narrowed it down to these three brands. I really like the adjustable angle (30-70 degrees) and adjustable foot plate on the Watson one, however, the carriage is insanely heavy and the safety hooks are at an awkwardly high or low height for me...

Let's see your KG plates! Some recent threads got me thinking about Olympic plates in kilogram (KG, Kg, or kg) weights.
