What is your favourite bit of equipment to use in a gym? Mine is the leg press machine.

Reigate.

I'm getting addicted to glut exercises so at the moment leg press machine. I get bonus points for Sumo squats using the barbell, amazing for grain area!

My favourite was the pool (before we had our own) because every bit of equipment looked down on it and when my daughter was very young she left a floater that could be seen from every angle.

This is gonna sound weird, but my gym those lever things to lift the bar when to want to add/remove plates for a deadlift and I think that might be my favourite thing 😅

In terms of a machine, I really like the leg extension.

I thought that's what happens when you hyperextend your knees... Yes, I've seen the video 😳

Leg day is my least favourite as I can't get the squat form right.

But favourite glute machine, military press or bench press

I still prefer barbell for most pressing

If had to pick would be the pullover machine (not many gyms have one so lucky to train at a gym with one) or the pendulum squat

I've never used the pendulum squat even though we have a few at my gym. What would you say it does better than a leg press or a hack squat?

To be honest mate I would probably use the hack myself but ours bottoms out before getting a full stretch at the bottom mate, both do the same thing really appart from slight different resistance profiles

I find the pendulum harder on the knees also I always warm knees up fully with lying leg curls prior to using it

Ahhh that makes sense. It does feel like you can get some crazy depth on them from what I've seen and even the hack squat can be a bit ropey on the knees depending on foot placement. I'm tempted to give them a go!

Punching bag. If there are days I'm just not feeling it, I'll just hit the bag for like 10-15 minutes and I either feel more warmed up to work out, or finish early and at least feel I got something done.

The design does make hitting depth easier mate great for growing quads and more knee flexion = more quads and also quads are one of the few muscles that benefit from stretch mediated hypertrophy so getting deep and pausing in the hole great for quad growth mate

The half kilo barbell weights. Adding them to your last sessions weight really helps with the long term progressive overload.
