Is the $599 Mikolo LP10 Compact Leg Press/Hack Squat a smarter buy than the $999 Force USA Compact Leg Press/Hack Squat? We put both machines in our living-room gym and tested build quality, range of motion, hack squat performance, safety limits, and overall value. Then, we asked the real question: is it better to save $400 with the Mikolo and use that money to build out a budget bundle — or invest in the premium Force USA?
