    If the footboard moves... --Its a leg press

    If the backboard moves (as in the picture)... --Its a Hack-squat

    Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

    That is funny, I'm trying to remember which kind is at my gym. I can't fucking remember and usually use it once a week.

    The machine in the above pic called a Leg Sled. Hack squat is more towards vertical.

    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    It's to keep the newbies busy and out of the squat rack while you get your leg workout done.

    We used them in college for football like we would push off kinda like your jumpingour feet would leave the foot thing kinda hard to explain
    "Strength is the product of struggle"

    "Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."
