Westside Inverse Curl

It's a shame that Rogue basically made the Westside Inverse Curl worse. What was once a great partnership with Westside and carrying on Louie's legacy by taking over manufacturing for all of his products they seemed to have stoped as soon as he died. From the entire Westside catalog down to just 2 machines. You can't really screw up the standing leg curl but somehow with the Inverse Curl they dropped the ball. 1. They severely limited the machine's versatility by constructing the counter weight arm to have vertically loaded plates instead of the original side loaded plates. The housing around the weight arm and the adjustment dial design have all coincided with removing the ability to flip the counter weight over and using this machine for other movements like good mornings/back extensions, ab work, even tricep pushdowns and so much more. For a company that tends to cater to home gyms they could've had an all in one machine but for some reason they said no. 2. Speaking of putting this in your home gym...good luck because its enormous. seemingly twice the size of the original. Props to Rogue for always overbuilding their equipment but jeez you didn't have to make this the size of a car. 3. As far as price point goes this is appropriately priced and similar to what Westside use to sell it for all be it seemingly too expensive since its uses are extremely limited. The price point on the standing leg curl though is insane although I don't doubt the quality of that particular piece. My suggestion...order the original from Dynamic or Elite FTS to get more bang for your buck. In conclusion like I said its a shame that Rogue dropped the ball when it comes to the Inverse Curl. Aside from all of the other Westside machines that Rogue doesn't manufacture anymore, the Inverse Curl is legendary piece for athletic development. Rogue has the ability to promote this machine to the moon and have it in every gym, every University weight room, and every Physical Therapy clinic. One of the greatest antidotes to ACL injuries but I feel with it's limited use due to the design changes we will never see it's fullest potential.

Love the Rouge Westside Inverse Curl. Amazing for athletic performance.

After using this a couple of times you’ll notice that it trains a different spot of the hamstring when compared to GHR, laying/seated curls, SLDLs or even a 45 degree hyper. Came fully assembled but can be taken apart to fit through a regular door. Even taken apart it’s super heavy so bring help!
