What a terrific design on their part. I had a pendulum leg extension/curl that I hooked up to a low cable, and that worked pretty well fixing the resistance curve, but this looks so much better. Great review.
Fairly dense. Definitely good for the price point, but not commercial quality. Let me put it this way, I am selling my Body Solid GLEG, and keeping this.
That's cool, finally a lying Leg extension machine which is what you actually want to train the rec fem. Similar to a sissy squat/reverse nordic but more easily progressible Looks like you can rotate the seat forward to lengthen the hams more. Does it work well for seated leg curl in that manner? Looks like the first machine that could actually do the correct lengthened leg extension and seated leg curl which would be incredible for the money
The seat does not adjust at all. You cannot do a seated leg curl. The leg roller is design to only move upward. It would need to pivot downward to do a seated leg curl.
@@DesignBuildLift thanks, by adjust I meant the pins that the seat back rotates on. It looks like it would be sufficient. I saw a Fargus machine that has a swivel leg curl stabilizer pad that moves out of the way for lying Leg Curl which would make this perfect. It was cheaper but did not have the cable cam system
The GLEG has a better overall construction….thicker steel, better quality padding, etc….and If the GLEG had better quality wheels and those wheels were moved from the front post to the rear (the end where your head goes) to make the unit easier to transport/maneuver, then I would say the GLEG. However, until that happens …I would go with the Ritfit option. By design the GLEG is supposed to be transported to/away from your cable machine, However, the wheels on the GLEG suck and it is hard to move it around. Therefore, since Ritfit option is stationary by design, I have only been using this Ritfit model - and stopped using the GLEG. The Ritfit is also considerably cheaper. I will likely be selling my GLEG.
Looks like that might be better because the seat seems to move further forward . Both have a pulley housing where you could weld on an upper leg pad so you could do seated leg curls without having to fight to stay on the seat. Can't comment on feels but they both seem to recline far enough to do a lying Leg extension which is better than seated. Neither seem to have designed for the seated leg curl so they may have some issue trying to work with it but they seem like they both would
Kind of. You can flip the pad above the arm - or under the arm. If you flip the the pad under the arm (which would be better for shorter people) it is 14.5" away from the edge of the seat.
If you position the unit in front of your low cable pulley system I don’t see why you couldn’t connect with a soft loop tiedown strap on this unit’s weight horn.
Anyone else notice any issues with the pad-side front foot lifting off of the floor while using it? I know my floor is a little uneven but shimming sure hasnt worked
I've watched several reviews on this equipment and your review is the best so I appreciate it
Wow! Thank you so much! Very nice of you to share that with me! 🤘🙏💪
Love you measuring the resistance!
Thank you, Brother! I appreciate your support! 🙏🤘💪

Thank you so much, Ken! I appreciate your support.
That’s a great review, all the details showed is what I look for when I’m looking for a new equipment.
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate that!🤘🙏💪
I dont have the right living space to buy any of this stuff yet but I dig your integrity when you review stuff 👌
Thank you so much, Cole! I really appreciate it. 🙏
Great thorough review!
@@guyincognito1985 Thank you, Guy! I appreciate it! 🤘🙏💪
Do you know the weight ratio for the pulley system? Is it 2:1? Thanks!
The website says 3:2. My measurements are here: 4:15
How is the roller pad quality?
Fairly dense. Definitely good for the price point, but not commercial quality. Let me put it this way, I am selling my Body Solid GLEG, and keeping this.
@ thanks brotha! Just had to know before I confirmed my order.

Any thoughts on this vs Lionscool v2.0? Looks promising.
I like how the seat declines for probe leg curls on the Lionscool, but it looks more cheaply made. That being said, I would love to test it out.
This or the body solid gleg?

I wanna see you compare this to the Lionscool model which overall looks way better but I want to see the catch for that $385 price

I would love to do a head-to-head comparison of this and the Lionscool option…Lionscool if you are reading this - Hit me up!
Does the leg roller pad adjust for short people (ie my wife is 5'1")?
Kind of. You can flip the pad above the arm - or under the arm. If you flip the the pad under the arm (which would be better for shorter people) it is 14.5" away from the edge of the seat.
@DesignBuildLift Thank you! Considering adding this to our home gym.
Might be their best piece yet?
It's pretty sweet!
Wow.. i see a pulley. Could this be connected to my fuctional trainers ???

I have not had this issue.
@DesignBuildLift I'll have to play around some more. Hopefully not a weld issue
