5004 Hammer Plate-Loaded Leg Press / Hip Thrust Machine​

  The 5004 Hammer 5000 Plate-Loaded Leg Press / Hip Thrust Machine​ is a robust, dual-function lower-body station designed to build explosive leg power and posterior chain strength. Featuring a sturdy white steel frame with black and red accents, an adjustable backrest, and dual 50mm Olympic plate-loading horns, it supports heavy compound movements with a smooth, guided range of motion. Ideal for targeting the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, it delivers the rugged durability required for serious strength training.

Q: What weight plates does it accept?

A: The 5004 features dual 50mm (2-inch) Olympic-sized plate-loading horns on the rear lever arms. It is fully compatible with all standard Olympic plates, including our 007 Shield PU Bumper Plates​ and 016 Tri-Grip Rubber Plates.

Q: Is it suitable for beginners?

A: While the 5004 is built for commercial durability, its plate-loaded nature allows for highly scalable resistance. Beginners can start with just the empty lever arms (or light plates) to master the leg press and hip thrust mechanics before progressively overloading. The guided track ensures safety without the need for a spotter.

Q: How should the 5004 be maintained?

A: Wipe the commercial-grade upholstery and steel frame with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to remove sweat and oils. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the padding or powder coating. Periodically inspect all pivot points, bolts, and plate-loading horns for tightness and wear. Store in a clean, dry training area.

Q: Can weight plates be dropped on this machine?

A: While the welded steel frame is incredibly durable, we advise against dropping heavy plates directly onto the loading horns or slamming the resistance at the bottom of the movement. Controlled eccentrics are essential to preserve the coating, welding, and central pivot points. Always use rubber flooring to protect both the machine and the facility floor.
