This document describes the Matrix Varsity Series VY-6003-02 Leg Press / Calf Extension machine, a piece of strength training equipment designed for lower body workouts.

Function Description

The Matrix Varsity Series VY-6003-02 is a dual-function machine that allows users to perform both leg press and calf extension exercises. The machine features a foot plate and an adjustable back pad to accommodate different exercises and user preferences. For the leg press, the user adjusts the back pad so their legs are bent to 90 degrees at the start position, allowing for a full range of motion to target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. For calf extensions, the back pad is adjusted so the legs are barely bent at the start position, with feet placed on the bottom of the foot plate, to isolate and strengthen the calf muscles. The machine uses a weight stack system for resistance, which can be adjusted to suit the user's training needs.

Important Technical Specifications

• Maximum User Weight: 159 kg / 350 lbs.
• Maximum Training Weight: 112 kg / 246 lbs.
• Product Weight: 271 kg / 598 lbs.
• Overall Dimensions (L x W x H): 191 x 99 x 211 cm / 75" x 39" x 83".
• Weight Horn Diameter (Weight Plate Storage): 47.63 mm / 1.875".
• Clearance: A minimum clearance width of 914 mm / 36" is required for access to and passage around the equipment.
• Installation: The equipment must be installed on a stable and level surface. Manufacturer recommends securing all stationary Matrix strength equipment to the floor to stabilize it and prevent rocking or tipping. All anchor points must withstand 750 lbs. (3.3 kN) pull-out force.
• Compliance: This training equipment meets industry standards for stability and is in compliance with EN 957-1 and the relevant portions of EN 957-2 and EN 957-4.

Usage Features

• Dual Functionality: Offers both leg press and calf extension exercises on a single machine, saving space and providing comprehensive lower body training.
• Adjustable Back Pad: Allows users to set the starting position for each exercise, ensuring proper form and targeting specific muscle groups effectively. For leg press, legs are bent to 90 degrees; for calf extension, legs are barely bent.
• Weight Stack System: Provides easily adjustable resistance, allowing users to select appropriate training weights.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Never allow children on strength training equipment; teenagers must be supervised.
  • Read all warnings and instructions before use.
  • Inspect the machine before each use; do not use if damaged or inoperable.
  • Never attach resistance straps, ropes, or other means to the equipment.
  • Always use a spotter.
  • Do not exceed the weight capacity.
  • Balance the weight applied and use retention devices for weight discs.
  • Cease exercise if feeling faint or dizzy and consult a medical professional before starting an exercise program.
  • Keep body, hair, clothing, and fitness accessories clear of all moving parts.
  • Manufacturer recommends securing the equipment to the floor.
  • Do not remove or obscure labels.
  • Ensure adjustable mechanisms (seat position, pad location, range of motion limiter, pulley carriage, or any other type of adjuster) are fully engaged to prevent injury.
  • Keep hands and feet clear from moving parts.
• Supervised Use: The equipment should only be used in supervised areas where access and control are regulated by the owner. The owner should consider the user's reliability, age, and experience.
