⚡️Power Up Your Lower Body with the Hammer Strength Leg Press! 🦵

The Leg Press is a great way to build lower-body strength with a smooth, controlled movement 🔥
It primarily targets your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves, making it a great addition to any leg day routine, whether you’re just getting started or lifting heavy. 👀

Looking to mix things up? Change your foot placement to target different muscle groups, try single-leg presses by placing one foot in the center of the platform and pressing through your heel.
Or, use the machine for calf raises by placing the balls of your feet on the lower edge of the platform with your heels hanging slightly off to help build stronger, more defined lower legs.

Strong legs create a strong foundation. Stop by and give the Hammer Strength Leg Press a try! 💪

We heard you were getting stronger, so the trap bar just got longer!! 💪

The NEW REP Fitness Trap Bar can hold 600+ lbs with 16" loadable sleeves and offers high and low handles for variation.

Trap bars are great for deadlift because they:

🟥 Help to improve deadlift mechanics
🟥 Center the weight with the body's center of mass
🟥 Reduce stress and risk of injury on the lower back
🟥 Maximize mechanical advantage allowing for heavier weight on the bar than standard barbells
