When it comes to building an explosive lower body, there are two kings of the gym floor: the Leg Press and the Hack Squat.
Traditionally, having both would require a massive amount of floor space and a hefty investment.
Enter the Body-Solid GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine, a powerhouse machine engineered to provide a professional-grade lower body workout in a single, streamlined footprint.
This item is one of Body-Solid’s most popular machines over the years, as it has found a home in thousands upon thousands of home and garage gyms and fitness facilities worldwide.
With a sleek black finish, this machine is designed for those serious about training quads, glutes, and calves without compromising safety or comfort.
Here is everything you need to know about this industry-leading piece of equipment.
Dual Functionality: Two Machines in One
The standout feature of the GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat is its versatility. By utilizing a “quick flip-and-lock” mechanism on the back pads, you can switch from a heavy-duty Leg Press to a focused Hack Squat in seconds.
- Leg Press: Targets the overall mass of the quads and glutes with a natural upward driving motion.
- Hack Squat: Allows for deep, squat-like movements that isolate the quads while providing essential spinal support.
Engineered for Smoothness and Strength
Body-Solid engineers prioritized smoothness to ensure that your muscles do the work—not your joints.
- Quad Track Roller System: The carriage moves on a sophisticated four-roller system that evenly distributes weight. This eliminates the “jerky” feeling found in cheaper machines, sparing your bones and joints from unnecessary stress.
- Industrial Build: The frame is constructed from extra heavy-duty 2″ x 4″ 11-gauge steel. This minimizes “torsional flex,” meaning the machine won’t twist or wobble even when loaded to its maximum capacity.
- Massive Weight Capacity: With a 1,000 lb. weight capacity, this machine is built to grow with you, from your first workout to your heaviest personal best.
Maximum Comfort: DuraFirm™ Technology
Heavy lifting shouldn’t mean heavy discomfort. The GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine features Body-Solid’s DuraFirm™ back and shoulder pads:
- 4 inches thick for maximum cushioning.
- Contoured to support the lower back and shoulder areas.
- Double-stitched for ultimate durability against sweat and friction.
Safety First
Safety is paramount when moving heavy iron. The GLPH1100B includes three lockout positions that are under the user’s control throughout the entire exercise. This allows you to set different start/stop positions and ensures you can safely lock the carriage at any point during your set.
The machine also features extra-heavy-gauge Diamond Plate foot platforms at both positions, ensuring your feet stay firmly planted even during the most grueling reps.
Peace of Mind Warranty
Body-Solid is famous for standing behind its products. The GLPH1100B is backed by two distinct warranties, making it a safe investment for both home enthusiasts and gym owners:
- Body-Solid In-Home Warranty: The ultimate protection for your home gym.
- Body-Solid Commercial Warranty: Rated for use in professional facilities.
Final Verdict on the GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine
The Body-Solid GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine combines the power of two essential machines with the safety of a 1,000-lb capacity steel frame. It delivers a gym-quality experience that is powerful, comfortable, and—above all—safe.
