The Primal Performance Series Plate Loaded 70 Degree Incline Leg Press is a heavy duty, plate loaded leg press with an angle adjustable footplate and back pad, built for commercial gyms, PT studios and performance centres. It needs 2210 × 1730 mm of floor space, is 1780 mm high and weighs 300 kg.

Oversized weight horns and built in band pegs give it the loading room that strong lifters need, while the adjustments let smaller or less mobile users still reach full depth.

Who it is for

• Commercial gyms that need a leg press strong members will not outgrow
• Performance centres and S&C facilities using bands for accommodating resistance
• PT studios training clients with limited ankle or hip mobility
• Bodybuilding gyms wanting to bias sessions toward quads or hips from one machine

Key features

• Gas strut footplate angle adjustment to suit each user's ankle mobility and keep a full range of motion
• One touch shoulder pad and headrest adjustment on a linear rail, so every user sets a firm, braced position
• Adjustable back pad angle: lift the rear of the pad to make the press more quad led or more hip led
• Roller band pegs on the base for adding elastic band tension, with nylon rollers that cut band wear
• Oversized weight horns for very high plate loads
• Smooth running linear bearings for a steady stroke under heavy loads

Muscles worked and training uses

The leg press loads the quads, glutes and hamstrings with the spine supported, so members can train the legs hard without balancing a bar.

• Primary: quadriceps and glutes
• Secondary: hamstrings, adductors and calves
• Quad focused hypertrophy with an upright back pad and a lower foot position
• Hip and glute focused pressing with a reclined back pad and a higher foot position
• Band resisted pressing for athletes who need more load at lockout
• High volume leg work for members who cannot squat heavy

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How much space does the 70 degree leg press take?

The machine is 2210 mm long, 1730 mm wide and 1780 mm high. Allow about 600 mm around it for plate loading and access, so plan on a zone of roughly 3.4 × 2.9 m.

How is the resistance added?

With 50 mm Olympic plates on oversized weight horns, which are not included. You can also hook elastic bands to the roller pegs on the base for extra tension near lockout.

Does it need a high ceiling?

No. The frame is 1780 mm tall and the user presses from a reclined, supported position, so a standard 2.4 m ceiling is enough.

What is the warranty?

Primal Strength covers it with a full commercial use warranty: 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, and 1 year on pads, cables, pulleys and wearables, with 1 year of labour.

Can you deliver and install in Australia?

Yes. We deliver Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse, and most metro orders arrive 1 to 7 business days after dispatch. It weighs 360 kg packed in a 1900 × 1400 × 790 mm crate, so some regional addresses need a freight quote. Use the Ask about this machine form on this page and we will quote delivery and installation.

Can I change between a quad and a glute focus?

Yes. The back pad angle and footplate angle both adjust, so you can set it up for a more quad led press or a more hip and glute led press without changing machines.
