I was tempted to say get the press and I'll use it if you don't like it.

I've looked into one myself.

To me, that makes sense; the only time I've injured my back was using a leg press during an induction...DLs, squats...no problems. Though, I do think it was due to poor instruction from the trainer after doing some reading up online.

I told him that if he can hold it all until Monday that I would come and get it. Worst case scenario, I sell the press for $75 and make my money back and keep the plates.
