How to choose a leg extension machine

A leg extension machine isolates the quadriceps, the muscles at the front of the thigh. For a home leg extension machine, check:

  • Dual function. A leg extension and curl machine trains the quads and the hamstrings on one frame, so you only need floor space for a single unit instead of a separate leg curl machine.
  • Adjustment. Look for multiple adjustment points so your knee lines up with the pivot point and the foam roller sits in the right place for your height.
  • Frame and padding. A steel frame keeps the machine steady, and a padded seat, adjustable backrest and handles help you stay in position through each rep.
  • Weights. The CL-23 is plate-loaded, taking up to 150kg of Olympic or standard plates. Decide whether you already own plates or want the set with 60kg of tri-grip plates.

Both options are built around the same CL-23 machine. The difference is what comes in the box.

Common questions

Can one machine do leg extensions and leg curls?

Yes. The CL-23 switches between leg extensions for the quadriceps and leg curls for the hamstrings, so you can move between the two without changing machines.

Is the CL-23 suitable for a home gym?

It is designed for home and small gym environments, with a 1000 × 900 mm footprint, a 120kg user weight limit and adjustment points for different heights. It suits beginners and intermediate users adding a dedicated lower-body machine.

Do I need to buy weight plates separately?

The CL-23 set includes 60kg of Olympic tri-grip plates. The CL-23 on its own comes without plates. It takes both Olympic and standard-size plates, up to 150kg, and has plate storage at the back.
