What do you all think is better?

[DAHULK]

I'm about to order some equipment for my home gym. I just wanted your opinions on which type of leg press is better. The 45 degree one, or 60 degree one. The 45 degree leg press is the one that you press the weight straight up right? This one is much cheaper, but i was just wondering which is better? Thanx for any info!!

I don't know the difference between the 60 and 45 degree, but I have a "vertical" leg press at home. Maybe that is what you are talking about? If so, it tends to put less stress on your back and more on the knees than a normal 45 degree "cybex" type leg press. Also, you cant use as much weight on a vertical press. The only real downside is safety--having 500lbs above your face can be dangerous if the thing malfunctions.

PEACE.

90 is best then 60 then 45

I'd say 87.324 is best.
