The Powertec Compact Leg Sled is a leg press machine designed for a smooth and quiet workout experience. It features an ultra-low resistance nylon roller system with sealed bearings that glides on a specially designed carriage for a precise and smooth motion from top to bottom. The carriage holds 8 wheels that hug the solid steel guide rods, providing stability and preventing lateral movement during the exercise.
In addition to its precise motion, the Compact Leg Sled also offers a comfortable position for users to perform the exercise. The seat and adjustable back pad, along with the adjustable angle foot plate and hand grips, allow the user to lock into the perfect position, alleviating stress on the lower back.
The design of the carriage and seat section also allows for a compact leg sled that is significantly smaller than any other machine in its class. Despite its small footprint, the leg sled still allows for a full calf raise for most users. The foot tube included in the machine also allows for calf raise exercises.
The angle of the rails on the Compact Leg Sled is 28.5 degrees, and users can calculate the effective amount being lifted by multiplying the total weight by 0.48. For every 100 lbs of weight plates, the user will be lifting 48 lbs. The footplate measures 25" x 23", providing ample space for the user to position their feet comfortably.
