Description

The Cybex Eagle Leg Press is the most effective way of replicating a squat. It is designed like a tank with thick steel. The adjustable back pad accommodates different body types while providing options for your workouts. The floating footplate makes it easy to set your starting position because you only move the footplate, not the whole seat carriage. The Eagle Leg Press’ patented seat carriage moves down and back for optimal comfort and effectiveness, which means you’re not pushing the weight of the carriage uphill. 

It also creates a line of force behind the knee and in front of the hip for minimal stress on the joints and balanced loading of the targeted muscles. The large footplate allows for multiple foot positions. Unilateral and alternating patterns create a medley of movements.

 

For advanced training, the moving carriage allows for explosive plyometric movements for muscular power development.

And the footplate’s four-bar linkage system makes the Eagle Leg Press an excellent calf machine too. 

Whether you seek simplicity or a more advanced workout, this machine has it all.
