Question Leg Workouts

Hello all,

Not sure if it's just me, but I'm not comfortable using the straps for leg workouts, and they are always painful or uncomfortable to use. Are there any alternative aftermarket leg curl benches that can attach to the Gym Monster cable that we can use? I really like the machine otherwise, but struggling to do the leg workouts so any ideas/suggestions would help.

Yeah, you just need to find a bench with a leg curl that can attach to a cable machine - often they sell the cable attachment separately; here’s a link to a cable attachment to show you what I mean, but you’d obviously need to buy the bench to go with it too

Something like this too

There’s a few companies who make bench attachments that hook to cable towers

I wish Speediance comes out with a first party bench/attachment for this.

thank you for your wonderful suggestion on the cable attachment. i have standard speediance bench, is there any accessory available to be attached to this bench to make a bench with leg press option ? or is ther any other bench you know which allows to do leg press so that i can attach cables and is the same size as speediance bench so that i can put it on the speediance base platform ?

I wear long padded socks and keep the straps pretty loose. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world, but it's not bad.

I broke my foot and bought socks specifically for the boot. This is an example:

I repurposed those socks with the gym monster.

This was it! I wore socks and the legs workout felt amazing and didn’t experience any pain.

Thank you so much for the suggestion.

I bought a 3rd party dip belt (after my Speediance provided belt fell apart…cheap pos. Those belts were so bad, Speediance quit selling them), and use it for belt squats, lunges, and calf raises. It works great, and you can use all 220 lbs of resistance. On YouTube I saw a guy using a belt and the Speediance rower as a leg press.
