You can also do every basic exercise(other than Olympic type lifts).

my father-in-law has one of these. How do you get a leg exercise on it? squat-ish type movement preferably.

The plate at the bottom lets you stand on it and do squat type stuff. It's more like a hack squat or something. You can also stand on one leg and do one leg squats with the slide.

You can look at them here.

It's obv not as good as a real squat, but it's a machine.

That machine looks like it would be noisy and I wonder if it's rickety. Doing squats on something that frail looking sounds dicey.

You've never seen a total gym?
it's the ones chuck norris does commercials for.

they are not noisy or rickety, I think they are pretty sweet.

Never seen one in real life. Seen the commercials. Every other machine I've seen that involves any sliding, which this machine is all about, is really noisy.

Why are you bringing up weights vs machines when I am asking for a comparison of machines?

[/ QUOTE ]

david, to draw a comparison, it may be like someone coming to you and asking what the best ken warren poker book is and you tell them they are all bad. the person responds "but which one is the best? i really want one."

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a perfect analogy. I don't have anything to add then qft.
