ION fitness DSLP1000 Dual Squat & Leg Press Machine

We present the best alternative to squats for working quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes easily and comfortably for your back.

The Dual Squat and Leg Press Machine ION fitness DSLP1000 It’s perfect for the most demanding leg workouts, very popular among lifters and athletes who do strength training and weightlifting.

This machine allows you to perform different exercises to maximize your leg workouts; leg press, hack squat, and reverse squat. Thanks to the inclined position the workout will be much more intense.

With the press you focus the greatest muscle pump on the quadriceps and calves, while reducing involvement of the glutes, hamstrings, and abdominal and lower back areas, and with the hack squat you work the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, soleus, and the entire core region.

Both in hack squat and press you can also add more intensity to specific muscles using different techniques or positions. For example, an excellent technique to improve imbalances is to train one leg at a time.

If you slightly point your toes outward, it will intensify the work on the adductors and inner quadriceps. Bringing your feet together will work the glutes, outer quadriceps, and abductors more intensely.

Raising your feet on the platform targets the hamstrings and glutes more, while placing them at the lower part of the board emphasizes the quadriceps.

Exercises

Leg press

• The leg press is a compound movement exercise that works the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. It’s perfect especially if you want to rest your lower back.
• In the press the glutes work a little less compared to the standard squat and hack squat, since full hip extension is not performed, given that the body is inclined at 90º.
• With the leg press, however, it’s possible to relax the upper body, which allows a stronger mind-muscle connection with the lower body muscles, enabling heavier load movements and greater activation of the pumped muscles.

Hack squat

• It is much safer than free barbell squats or hack squats, especially if you have no experience or have some kind of injury. 
• It isolates the quadriceps very well, the backrest and its shoulder pads help you push, so it allows you to work with more weight than you would in a free squat. 
• It’s a very effective exercise, not only at high intensity but also as a warm-up without weight due to its range of motion, which is why it’s a perfect machine for those starting to train their lower body.
• Unlike the leg press, squats allow full hip extension, contributing to much greater effort from the entire leg. With squats, you not only work more muscles because it’s a complex movement, but you can also build endurance and achieve better performance in other exercises or disciplines.

Reverse squat

• A different squat, looking toward the backrest instead of leaning your back on it, frees the torso to move through various ranges of motion.
  You can change the torso position to find the most useful range and emphasize the glutes, just like you do in a squat.
