Anyone know where I can find a good one for cheap, or any recomendations on which to get? I'm hoping for one that's decent price, around $800 canadian, max. But, It can't be one of those peices of **** that has a terrible angle. Before anyone freaks out about how normal squats are better, I can't do them. My arms cannot physically go near far enough back to hold the bar... I've tried stretching alot, but it doesn't seem to work. But, anyway. Any recomendations?

All of the leg press hack squat machines I've seen in that price range are not very well built. I guess it kinda depends on what kind of weight you want to use. I like a machine that is smooth, welded and able to use a lot of weight. The cheapest combo machine that I've found (and good quality) is made by pro-fitness http://www.pro-fitness.com/Combo%20H...P%20Linear.htm .

Aright, thanks guys. C Man, you have any expierience with those? I should prbably get one of those too. But a leg press/squat is always good to have for variety.

Ebay for machines
I won these last week http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=28067 and I got a Continental hack/ leg extension about a month ago. Look for the auctions nearest you , sometimes you can get a hell of a deal like I did. I sold off the 2 BLOWFLEX machines that we had and wouldn't trade the new goodies for anything !

Damn dude, that is probably the steal of the year. The leverage squat machine is awesome. I usually can't walk after using that.Originally Posted by GREENFEATHER
Use them in good health

Yea, the guy hurt his back in Iraq in GW1 and couldn't use it. All of it's damned near new. I got a 45 degree hyperextension bench and inversion table for $440 plus the gas to go get it.

Powertec Squat Machine
Here's another one in the northeast that'll probably go cheap. If no one gets it, I'm gonna buy me a second one!
