LEG EXTENSION & CURL

The APE Leg Extension & Curl is a leg extension and curl machine that puts both leg movements in one steel frame: extensions for the front of your thighs, curls for the back. It suits home gyms and studios that want two leg stations in one footprint.

Key Features of the APE LEC

What the combo frame gives you:

✅ Both leg movements in one footprint

✅ Square steel tube main frame

What does each half of the combo train?

Are leg curl and leg extension the same machine? No. They are two movements: the extension straightens your knee against a pad and works the front of your thigh, while the curl bends it and works the back. A combo frame gives you both in one footprint.

Technique for the extension half is in our leg extension how-to.

Balancing the two halves in a program? Our leg extension versus leg curl comparison explains how.

Combo or separate machines for your room?

Pick by who trains and how often. The table sets out three common situations.

For a dedicated curl, the APE Lateral Kneeling Leg Curl is in the same range.

Our leg extension machines for home gyms show the other single-purpose options.

What should you plan before it arrives?

The packed machine weighs 243 lb gross, so line up help to move the case from the delivery point to the room.

How the load is added decides which extras you need. To ask how the APE Leg Extension & Curl is loaded, call or text 423-458-2453 before you order.

What are the APE LEC specifications?

Specifications for the APE Leg Extension & Curl, SKU LEC:

Converted from the manufacturer's metric figures.

The supplier lists the three size figures without naming length, width or height, so read them as outer limits, not a floor plan.

Who is this leg combo for?

A good match if you:

• Want extensions and curls in one footprint
• Train alone or with one partner
• Have a clear route for a plywood-cased machine

Better to skip if you:

• Need two stations running at once
• Only want hamstring curls
• Want a machine for upper-body work too

What should you know about delivery and returns?

Shipping is free on all APE equipment. Before delivery day, walk the route from your door to the training floor and measure each doorway and turn. APE imports ship in 45 to 60 days, so order well ahead of any opening date or training block.

You have 30 days from purchase to return the machine with a receipt or proof of purchase, provided it is working, undamaged, and in its original packaging; a damaged or incomplete return may be refunded only in part. A 25% restocking fee applies; you cover return shipping; equipment used beyond testing can't come back; and custom imported items are final sale with their warranty still in force. Cancelling before shipment costs 2.5%, as our shipping and returns policy explains.

The machine carries its manufacturer's warranty. If something isn't working after delivery, call us and we'll work with you to put it right under that warranty.

Leg Extension and Curl Questions

Can you use a leg extension machine for leg curls?

Only if it is built as a combo. A single-purpose extension machine is not built for curls, while a combo frame like this one provides both movements.

Are leg extensions bad for your knees?

No machine is automatically bad for your knees. Comfort depends on load, range and your own history, and our guide to leg extensions and knee health covers the evidence. If you have knee pain, ask a qualified clinician first.

Should leg curl and leg extension be the same weight?

No. Most lifters are stronger on extensions than on curls, so they use a lighter load for curls. Choose each load for its own movement, not to match the other.

Do leg curl machines work your glutes?

Only a little. The hamstrings do the main work, with the calves and glutes assisting. Squats and hip thrusts train the glutes more directly.

What can you do instead of a leg curl machine?

Romanian deadlifts, stability-ball curls and band-resisted curls all train the hamstrings. None matches a machine's fixed path, but each works in a room with no space for one.
