Warranty12 Months Parts Replacement

If you train legs hard at home and want to press and hack squat on one frame, the CORTEX LP-10 runs a 45 degree sled on a rail that takes up to 400 kg of plates. The 12-gauge steel frame supports users up to 240 kg, with two safety catches and lock-in levers for both positions.

It suits a serious home lifter who wants two heavy leg movements from a single footprint, switching between leg press and hack squat by folding the top footplate and removing the seat cover. Four storage pegs hold 60 kg each, so your plates stay on the machine and off the floor.

Is this leg press hack squat combo right for you?

This leg press hack squat combo is right for you if:

  • You want one station that covers both leg press and hack squat so you can train quads, glutes and hamstrings from a single frame
  • You load heavy and want headroom to grow, with up to 400 kg of sled weight and a 240 kg max user rating
  • You run Olympic (50 mm) tri-grip or other small-diameter plates and want 380 mm of plate intake per side plus four on-board storage pegs
  • You have a permanent spot for a 211.6 cm x 154.3 cm footprint and want a 148 kg frame that stays put under load

Look at another option if:

  • You train legs with light loads a couple of times a month and don't need 400 kg of sled capacity
  • You only want to do leg press and would rather have a simpler single-function sled
  • You train exclusively with bumper plates, since they aren't compatible with the plate intakes
  • You need to pack the machine away between sessions rather than leave it set up permanently
Adela Ledvinkova, Our In-House Fitness Coach

Adela's Take

What sells me on this one is the switch itself: remove the seat cover, fold the top footplate, and you've gone from 45 degree leg press to hack squat without a separate station.

It isn't built for bumper plates, so plan on Olympic tri-grip or other small-diameter plates. The 400 kg sled ceiling is the real standout, giving even strong lifters plenty of room to progress.

2-in-1 Leg Press and Hack Squat Combo

One frame covers two of the heaviest lower-body lifts, so you train quad-dominant hack squats and full leg press drive without buying two separate machines.

Switching between modes takes a removable seat cover and a folding top footplate, plus lock-in levers that set the right position for each exercise.

  • 2-in-1 leg press / hack squat design
  • Folding top footplate switches between the two positions
  • Removable seat cover for mode changes
  • Lock-in levers for both leg press and hack squat positions

What this means for you: For a home gym short on floor space, you get two serious leg stations in the footprint of one.

Full-Sized 45 Degree Angled Sled

This is a full-sized unit with a 45 degree sled riding on a rail, so your leg drive follows a long, natural pressing path rather than a cramped one.

  • 45 degree angled sled on a rail
  • Assembled footprint: 211.6 cm long x 154.3 cm wide (80 cm at the foot end) x 165 cm high
  • Net weight: 148 kg for a stable, non-wandering base

What this means for you: At 165 cm tall it sits well under a standard 2.4 m ceiling, so placement is straightforward in most garages and spare rooms.

CORTEX LP-10 Full Sized 45 Degree Leg Press/Hack Squat Combo Full Sized Leg Press Machine feature

45 Degree Adjustable Anti-Slip Footplate

The 45 degree footplate adjusts to suit your height and stance, so you can set foot position high for glutes and hamstrings or low for quads.

An anti-slip surface keeps your feet planted when the sled is loaded heavy.

  • 45 degree footplate angle
  • Adjustable to suit stance and target muscles
  • Anti-slip footplate surface

What this means for you: Taller and shorter lifters in the same house can both find a comfortable, safe foot position.

CORTEX LP-10 Full Sized 45 Degree Leg Press/Hack Squat Combo 45 Degree Adjustable Footplate feature

12-Gauge Steel Frame With 240 kg User Rating

The frame is built from 12-gauge steel with 100 mm x 50 mm tube, which is the kind of construction that handles heavy, repeated loading without flex.

  • 12-gauge steel frame, 2.5 mm thickness
  • 100 mm x 50 mm tube size
  • Maximum user weight: 240 kg
  • Maximum sled weight: 400 kg
  • 12 months parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: A 400 kg sled rating means this one grows with the lifter rather than capping you early.

Olympic Tri-Grip Plate Compatible The loading horns take Olympic (50 mm) plates, and the intakes are sized for tri-grip or other small-diameter plates.
CORTEX LP-10 Full Sized 45 Degree Leg Press/Hack Squat Combo Safety Catches Included feature
Two Safety Catches and Lock-In Levers Two safety catches plus lock-in levers let you train close to failure without a spotter, since you can rack the sled yourself at the end of a hard set.
CORTEX LP-10 Full Sized 45 Degree Leg Press/Hack Squat Combo Maximum comfort and support feature
Padded Backrest and Shoulder Pads A padded backrest supports your spine on heavy leg press sets, while the shoulder pads spread the load across your shoulders in the hack squat position.

Four Weight Storage Pegs

Four 50 mm storage pegs keep your plates on the machine and off the floor, so loading and unloading between sets is quick.

  • 4 storage pegs, 50 mm diameter
  • 60 kg capacity per peg
  • Keeps plates organised on the frame

What this means for you: With plates stored on the machine, you're not walking back and forth to a plate tree mid-session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it ship and what should I expect on delivery day?

The LP-10 arrives in 3 cartons weighing 178 kg in total (the heaviest is 66 kg), so it comes via freight. Check all 3 cartons are present and in good order before you sign. Given the weight, have a spot cleared and a second person on hand to help move the cartons to where you'll build it.

What happens if it arrives damaged or a part is missing?

Take photos before and during unpacking, then send them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, organise replacement parts or a full carton, and stay across it until you're sorted. You don't deal with the courier or the manufacturer directly. That's our job.

How hard is it to assemble?

It's a job for two or more people, with 4 assembly steps in the manual. You'll need a spanner or wrench (the manual also allows a hex key), and all the bolts and fixings are included in the box. At 148 kg assembled, the real work is positioning the frame and sled, so build it in its final spot rather than moving it afterwards.

How much space do I need for it?

The assembled footprint is 211.6 cm long, 154.3 cm wide (80 cm at the foot end) and 165 cm tall. That height clears a standard 2.4 m Australian ceiling easily, so it suits a garage or home gym. Leave room behind and to the side to load plates and step in and out of both the leg press and hack squat positions comfortably.

Who is this leg machine built for?

It handles users up to 240 kg and takes a maximum sled weight of 400 kg, so it grows with serious lifters rather than capping you early. The 12-gauge steel frame and 100 mm x 50 mm tubing feel rock solid under load. Beginners and experienced lifters both get value from the 2-in-1 leg press and hack squat setup.

How do I switch between leg press and hack squat?

You remove the seat cover and fold the top footplate to change positions, with lock-in levers securing each mode. Two safety catches back it up. Once you've done it a couple of times it's a quick change, which is what makes this worth the footprint of one machine instead of two.

What plates does it take and how many fit?

It takes Olympic (50 mm) tri-grip or other small-diameter plates, but not bumper plates, which are too large in diameter. Each side has a 380 mm intake, so you can load up to 8 x 20 kg plates per side plus smaller plates. Weight plates aren't included with this machine. There are also 4 storage pegs rated at 60 kg each, which keeps your plates off the floor and within reach.

What warranty does it come with and can I change my mind?

It comes with a 12 month parts replacement warranty, handled by us here in Australia. If the product page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, you have 100 days to return it as-new, disassembled and in its original packaging with all parts. We'll organise the return freight (you cover that cost), with no restocking fee, and refund the product price plus your original delivery fee.

  • So solid & has so many functions. I love the level of ranges you can adjust.
  • Great quality and a great addition to our home gym. Trust in the product it is well worth it.

Cheap and nasty

Second review as previous review removed by Lifespan/Cortex to make their product seem better than it is. Multiple issues.... Weight plate holder, the sleeves have a thread on the outside resulting in the weight grinding on them and stopping fine metallic dust. Over time this will damage the sleeves and your weights.... Unknown how harmful this is if you get it in your eyes or mouth. Only one lock heigh making it restrictive for short or tall users. This also limits the range of movement. When under tension the unit is clunky and wobbles. Foot plates are not very wide, again restricting the size of the user. Item had multiple scratches and rust. Would not recommend.

Great value, and solid build

This leg press/hack squat combo machine has perfectly completed my home gym setup. Assembly was easier than any other piece of gym equipment I own, and the build is of solid quality. Even more pleasing is the fact that it doesnt take up quite as much space as I had been anticipating. This combo pack, with Olympic weight plates included, also represents great value. I am thrilled to have encountered this quality and budget-friendly piece of equipment in my research to finalise my home gym setup, and have no hesitation in strongly recommending it to anyone after the same. Look forward to lower body workouts with this awesome piece of gym equipment.

Great squat hack

Came in 3 boxes and it was relatively easy (ish) to put together. Have had it for 3 weeks now and we use it everyday. Great quality and a great addition to our home gym. Trust in the product it is well worth it.

Good machine, extremely difficult to build

I bought this machine a few weeks ago, it is great, a bit cheap in places. We paid someone to build it for us and it took 3 people to build. Instructions are not clear!

AMAZING QUALITY & FUNCTIONS

I brought this a few weeks ago and wow! What an amazing machine. So solid & has so many functions. I love the level of ranges you can also adjust the machine to, allowing you to target different muscle groups as you require. Comfortable seating & padding where needed also.
