What is the Body-Solid GCEC340B Leg Extension & Leg Curl Machine?
The Body-Solid GCEC340B Leg Extension & Leg Curl Machine is a dual-function strength machine that lets you perform two fundamental lower-body movements—seated leg extensions and seated leg curls—from a single comfortable position.
Built for home gyms and commercial fitness facilities, it streamlines leg-day training without requiring multiple bulky machines.
Which muscle groups does this machine target?
This machine targets the primary muscle groups of the upper leg:
- Quadriceps (via seated leg extensions)
- Hamstrings (via seated leg curls)
How do you switch between leg curls and leg extensions?
Transitioning between movements is quick and straightforward thanks to the integrated jumbo pop-pin and adjustable lifting arm:
- For Seated Leg Curls: Pull the jumbo pop-pin, raise the lifting arm to a comfortable starting position, sit down, place your legs over the 8-inch foam rollers, and press down to target the hamstrings.
- For Seated Leg Extensions: Pull the pin to lower the lifting arm, position your lower legs behind the oversized rollers, and lift upward to engage the quadriceps.
What makes this machine comfortable and adjustable for different users?
- DuraFirm™ Padding: Extra-thick, tear- and scuff-resistant DuraFirm™ pads provide full support during heavy sets and are easy to wipe clean after workouts.
- Oversized Foam Rollers: Equipped with 8″ foam rollers that minimize pressure on the shins and ankles.
- Adjustable 7-Gauge Steel CAM: The fully adjustable cam and pop-pin range-of-motion settings easily accommodate users of various sizes and flexibility levels.
- Key Dimensions: The distance from the top of the seat pad to the bottom of the foam roller is 16″.
How durable is the frame and construction?
Built for commercial-grade durability, the GCEC340B features heavy-duty construction with a fully adjustable 7-gauge steel cam and frame structure, finished in a sleek black coat.
What weight plates does the GCEC340B accept?
The unit comes standard with a 1″ diameter weight post designed for standard plates. It can also be upgraded using an optional Olympic Adapter Sleeve to accept standard 2″ Olympic weight plates, collars, and bumper plates.
