The Cybex Plate Loaded Leg Press offers effective lower body
exercise in a compact, plate-loaded format. The unique
interlock weight release system protects the user from
releasing the carriage unintentionally, while the angled
non-skid footplate promotes heel contact throughout the
complete range of motion. Plates are loaded from hip height
for ease of use and safety. The back rest is easily adjustable in
three positions to allow training flexibility. The fully enclosed
linear bearing mechanisms yield a clean, pleasing design and
prevent the user from contact with moving parts and shaft
grease.
