Plantarflexed vs. dorsiflexed in non-linear leg presses? Is there any logic to foot flexion on different leg presses? For example, the Medx Avenger is slightly plantar flexed or neutral whereas the H-Squat is massively dorsiflexed.

Titan Seated Ham Curl vs Lying Ham Curl Machines. Anyone here have real world experience with either, or preferably both of these machines?

Advantage Barbell Anyone ever see these plates before. They say advantage barbell, can’t find anything about the company. Not an easy search since there are a lot of advantages to barbells and Olympic plates results. Not a matched pair so I suspect they were made at different times, not a one off plate run.
