Overview
The Rogue ISO Leg Press 35 is a professional-grade, American-made strength machine designed for high-performance lower body training. Engineered to provide both bilateral and unilateral movement, this unit allows athletes to train both legs simultaneously or independently to address muscle imbalances. Its innovative 35-degree angle design is optimized to deliver high resistance (averaging over 60% of true weight) while significantly reducing spinal loading, making it an ideal centerpiece for commercial facilities and elite home gyms alike.

Key Features and Specifications
Bilateral/Unilateral Sleds: Dual independent sleds can be locked together for traditional leg presses or used separately for isolating each leg.

Linear Ball Bearings: Equipped with high-quality linear bearings and chrome guide rods for an exceptionally smooth, consistent stroke.
Diamond-Tread Foot Deck: An oversized, multi-angle foot deck finished in texture black powder coat for superior grip and various foot placement options.
Adjustable Lumbar Seat: A pop-pin adjustable back pad allows users of all sizes to find a safe, ergonomic position.
Safety Stops: Adjustable spring-loaded safety stops provide a reliable physical "bottom-out" point for solo training.
Storage Posts: Includes four bolt-on stainless steel posts for convenient on-unit plate storage.
Heavy-Duty Build: Constructed from high-grade steel with a total unit weight of 708 lbs (Sled weight: 182 lbs).
Dimensions: 98" Length x 64" Width x 47" Height.
Performance Benefits
Spinal Deloading: The seated, angled orientation allows for maximum leg drive without the axial loading on the spine typically found in barbell squats.
Isolation Training: Unilateral capability is essential for rehabilitation and correcting strength discrepancies between the left and right legs.
Variable Resistance: The 35-degree angle ensures a higher percentage of the loaded weight is felt by the athlete compared to more shallow-angled machines.
User Adaptability: Multiple height-locking handles and the adjustable seat accommodate a wide range of heights and limb lengths for a customized range of motion.
Maintenance and Care
Guide Rod Lubrication: Periodically wipe down the chrome guide rods with a clean cloth and apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to maintain smooth sled travel. Avoid using WD-40 or heavy greases which can attract dust.
Bearing Inspection: Check the linear ball bearings regularly for any debris. Ensure the sleds move freely without catching or grinding.
Upholstery Care: Clean the back and seat pads after use with a non-abrasive, mild soap and water solution to prevent sweat-related degradation.
Hardware Check: Monthly inspections of all bolts, pop-pins, and locking handles are recommended to ensure they remain tight and fully functional.
Finish Maintenance: Wipe down the powder-coated frame with a damp microfiber cloth to remove chalk and dust.

5-Year Warranty: Covers guide rods and linear ball bearings against defects in material and workmanship.
90-Day Warranty: Applies to upholstery, grips, and standard wear items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this machine ship assembled? A: Yes, the Rogue ISO Leg Press 35 typically ships fully assembled via freight, though it is a built-to-order product that may require a specific lead time.
Q: Can I use different types of plates on the weight pegs? A: While designed primarily for Olympic iron plates to maximize capacity, standard bumper plates can be used; however, the total loadable weight will be reduced due to the wider width of bumpers.
Q: Is the sled weight included in the "true weight" resistance? A: Yes. The sled itself weighs 182 lbs, and due to the 35-degree angle, you are moving a significant portion of that weight even before adding plates.
Q: How do I switch between unilateral and bilateral modes? A: The sleds feature a locking mechanism that can be engaged to keep them moving as a single unit or disengaged to allow each side to move independently.
