Excellent machine! Only thing I’d add would be more foot plate holes and more safety links on bar. I have to extend my toes to un rack it
Great machine top to bottom. Affordable and customer service is top tier. A+.
So far so great. I loved that it came with a spare cable.
Pleasantly surprised. I was a little leary of buying, but after several reviews and watching several videos I decided to purchase and try it for myself. I was shock at how well this machine is built, and how well it works. I so glad I didn't purchase a selectorized machine because this leg extension has an amazing strength curve. I definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quality budget machine.
This leg extension has been awesome 👌. I use it twice a week. Its very solid and feels comfortable. It holds a good amount of weight. Im 6'2" 260lbs and I have no issues with height or stability. Definitely a great buy👍
I received the shipment in a reasonable amount of time. It came in two boxes a day apart. The second box had two holes in it and after opening it I discovered that the packet that held the nuts and bolts had broken open. I sorted what I gathered thanks to a handy guide in the instruction sheet and put it together. IThe instructions were pertty straight forward and it wasn't too difficult.
It turned out I was only missing three bolts, a nut, and a couple of washers. I emailed customer service that night, after hours, and received a response that night from Nick who stated he would ship the hardware, and a few extra pieces right away. I received them about a week later. I'm very happy with the machine and satisfied with the customer service response.
The fact that this is the best budget leg extension / curl machine on the market, is undisputed at this point. By the way, I love the resistance profile of this one: it's at its heaviest in the start of the rep, when your muscle is stretched at its maximum. Just see what the Garage Gym Review guy had to say about it https://youtu.be/rh1FFej0Wyo
What I want to point out is that this machine should be a priority before you even consider a functional trainer or any other machine in your gym. As far as machines go, you shouldn't buy any other machine before getting your leg extension / curl.
Assume you have your basics: barbell, weights, adjustable dumbbells, squat rack with high/low pulley and adjustable bench.
This leg extension / curl machine should be the VERY next thing you get. There aren't any barbell or dumbbell exercises that can mimic the leg extension and curl, so there's nothing else but a machine. And these exercises are tier 1, so in terms of adding quality exercises to your program...you can't do much better than this.
99% of the exercises you do on a functional trainer you can do with the high/low pulley on your squat rack attachment, so it's this leg machine before you even think about a functional trainer.
I’ve had this piece of equipment for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it! The smooth motion and strength curve is exactly what I was looking for. I love the adjustability it offers for multiple sized people. I am 6’2” 220 pounds and I have plenty of room on this machine. The pads are surprisingly comfortable. The vinyl is cheap but the pads are stiff enough not to cause discomfort. The finish they use on the machine is not the best and the welds look pretty rough but I believe they will hold just fine. I have loaded a lot of weight on this machine and it handles it just fine. The back rest has a lot of play in it but when you are using the machine it feels solid. My BIGGEST complaint is that the bar for the leg roller is crooked so your legs are not even when performing the exercise. I attached a picture to show what I’m talking about. I don’t know if mine is the only one like that because I received one of the first V4 or if they all come that way. Other than that this thing is amazing and 100% worth the money! I highly recommend this for any home gym!
Update: Nick from their customer service reached out to me and sent me a replacement part for the movement arm and now everything is straight and level! See updated picture. Great company and great service!
Leg extension is crooked on right side down about 3/4”. Replacement part was sent and still crooked. Otherwise very solid machine. Just wish the leg pad was straight. Very important for leg development evenly
Nick in customer service that I’ve been talking to is very professional and seemed to care about my complaints
UPDATE— Lionscool sent me another part that completely eliminated the problem. Leg part is no longer crooked. They are a 5 star company. They didn’t have to fix the part but they did because they truly care about the customer. I am so impressed by their service. Rest assured that they will take care of any problems if they arise. Also the machine is great. Smooth as any leg extension I’ve ever used. Highly recommend!!
Exactly what I was looking for! Now I can load more plates on my dumbbell exercises.
Build quality seems to be great, collars are holding up to metal plates, I haven't loaded it down a ton, but I would believe that it can hold up to around the advertised weight capacity (although I'm not sure why you could put 700 lbs on an E-Z bar). Diameter is the reason I purchased this bar, as I didn't want the smaller mm diametered bars. Also helps that this bar looks excellent and feels good. The Knurling isn't overly aggressive, but it's not weak or useless. Hoping this will be the one and only E-Z bar that I purchase. Almost two months in and no complaints.
I just received my pair of Lìonscool loadable dumbell handles (20 inch black). Of course I don't know yet about the long term durability or functionality of this product, but I'll tell you about my first impressions.
The quality, fit, and finish are absolutely top notch. They seem unbelievably robust without anything seeming chintzy or cheep. I didn't think that you could get such a high quality product at this low ($85.00 + shipping) of a price. I have no doubt whatsoever that these dumbell handles will still be functioning well long after I'm long gone and forgotten. Highly recommend. Oh, by the way, these dumbell handles are only for use with Olympic style barbell plates.
This olympic curl bar is top quality for the price! Feels great while doing hammer curls on my bench, the rotation and curvature is just right for wrist comfort. I'm a happy camper!
I could probably load these up to 70 lbs before I ran out of space. Comfortable
They feel super high quality and heavy duty , highly recommend em
This machine is well worth the money. Good design, sturdy, very effective for working quads, great customer service, easy assembly. I have zero complaints. I was considering Ritfit because of vertical weight motion but had many concerns with rigidity after watching videos. Lionscool much more robust machine. Great padding, and bearings at pivot joints. Absolutely zero complaints. I'm not a body builder or power lifter but for anyone wanting a good affordable robust piece for their home gym, this is the leg extension machine to get.
Love this machine. It’s smooth and sturdy. It’s built well and will handle a lot of weight.
Love how they packaged it! Maybe a little overkill, but it was well protected from damage. Bar is perfect and looks awesome! They even included a poster of different types of workouts I can do with the bar. Highly recommended.
Clear directions for assembly. Fast customer service. I had a knob arrive broken from the shipping company. Very smooth. And I'd say 1/1 weight ratio. Ease of switching from extension to hamstring curl is smooth. Only concerns are backs a little wobbly. And the leg pad/rod is a little skewed. So if you go with both legs at the same time the leg closest to the rod will be doing most of the work. But if you go single leg like I plan to. Not a problem. Overall it's a great addition to any home gym.
Wow, these are heavy duty and made to last!!! Each bar is 12.5 lbs. They are very easy to grip. The bearings are smooth and natural. They also include 4 clamps to load up the weights. Max weight 350 per bar. I’m not there yet, lol. Great for all types of strength training. I like the helpful exercise chart that is included for some lifting ideas.
Trust you found this review honest and helpful:-)
Nice machine, Easy to put together and functions great. Only complaint thus far is the roller padding. Very lacking and digs into my shins when doing leg extensions. Would like to see a more dense/robust padding.
The machine is awesome. I love it. The only thing i would like to see y’all maybe add is a calf raise block that can fit in the hole on the foot plate.Y’all add that and it would be better than perfect.
Great machine works great and compact. Really versatile with individual leg press! Heavy duty!
Few things that I would suggest to improve for next version is another pin for the foot plate when it’s in a pressing mode. Currently it only has one safety pin on the out part of the plate.
Definitely worth the money! I recommend this machine
great instructions, solid piece of equipment
