Body Solid GMFP-STK PRO-SELECT Multi Press

About

The Body Solid GMFP-STK Pro-Select Multi Press is the most versatile selectorized piece in the Body-Solid line. With built in functional training arms, the GMFP-STK allows for vertical chest presses, incline and decline presses from a multi-adjustable seated position. Then move to the opposite side and perform standing shoulder presses. Outftted with 180 degree rotating pulleys, this multi press unit can accommodate a swiss ball for stability exercises. This uniquely designed piece is perfect for any home and light commercial application.

DESIGN FEATURES

Together with squats and stiff legged deadlifts, the leg press is among the top 3 strength and mass building exercises you can perform for your lower body. Although the Body Solid GLPH1100 takes up a little more space than standard squat racks due to its length, the width has been kept as slim as possible to help make up for this.
Compared to squats and stiff legged deadlifts, leg presses usually require a much higher level of resistance to train your quads and hamstrings to failure. With more weight on the sled, this makes it important to check the range of safety features available to prevent possible injury.

SAFETY FEATURES

Before you even start your set in the leg press, the angle of the back support can be adjusted to prevent any discomfort when lowering the weight towards your upper body. Aside from the back support adjustment, the 2 main safety features are the design of the sled and the rotating handrail on either side of the tracks.

A bar attached to the base of the weight sled frame prevents it from moving below a certain position, while the side rails hold the weight securely in place until you are ready to workout. You can then press against the footplate, rotate the rails towards you and begin your set.

HACK SQUATS AND CALF RAISES

As well as providing additional support for the leg press, this also adjusts the angle of the footplate for when you choose to use the Body Solid GMFP-STK PRO-SELECT Multi Press for hack squats. Switching between the two exercises is extremely quick and simple. The back support can be lifted out of the way using a pivot point near the head section, with the sled footplate folded away to form a back support for your hack squats.

As well as the folded out and folded away positions (for hack squats), the footplate attached to the main sled can also be set at a 45 degree angle for including calf presses in your workouts.
