dude this is genius. I feel like I just gained several specialty machines in my basement now. I was doing a few of these already but the ab and back movements are awesome. Thanks!
I appreciate this video. I recently ordered a similar machine a few days ago and your exercise demonstration has opened exercise possibilities I hadn't considered.
Awesome ideas! I never thought about the seated calf raise or glute press! One thing I did to mine that I think is amazing, I put it on heavy duty lockable castor wheels so that it is mobile, that way I wheel it in front of my functional trainer, chuck on a spring collar and connect the cable weight stack, that way I can change the force curve, it feels so much better!
I just got this Valor CC-4 and assembled it tonight. I found this video right after I did my first workout. I was amazed at the valuable information and creative uses of a machine I expected to use for just 2 exercises. THANK YOU!
Last week, I stopped by the valor fitness showroom in Pinellas Park Florida and got try this machine and the seated row. Prior to the visit I wasn’t sure about those 2 machines, but after trying both out I am a fan. I am going to sell a few items to make room in the garage gym for both. This is definitely a must if you have the room.
I like how he called it accessory work. This is not a replacement for doing squats. Squats are king, but this is a nice compliment to them. It gets you that extra bit of work on the thighs, and hamstrings, and you can isolate them without putting stress on your back, and other muscle groups.
I wish I had seen this video before I ordered mine from Amazon. I could have saved a lot of money. As far as mechanical resistance goes, the machine is designed in such a way that as you begin the exercise there is little or no resistance because the weight is moving forward, but as you progress through the exercise your muscles contract more and more giving them the capability to handle more resistance as the movement of the weight goes from forward to straight up. That's the Nautilus Principle which made Arthur Jones several hundred million dollars BECAUSE IT WORKS. Thanks for this absolutely great video on the variety of exercises that can be done on the CC-4. Best one I can remember ever watching. You can bet I subscribed and rang the bell. Can't wait to see what your innovative mind will come up with next.
Thanks for the insight, Donald! That makes a ton of sense, and I can see the appeal behind that principle. However, as someone who went to the gym for many years, I fell in love with some of the machines, so I was happy to find a way to make this mimic the machines in the gym as much as possible. And I appreciate the subscribe! I hope I can bring you some good content. Be sure to check out the other video on my channel for this machine where I turned it into a preacher curl machine, because that was a use I figured out after uploading this video
Thank you so much. I got the same machine and I never knew the seat can be adjusted up. All this time I use the support to help me be in a angle when doing leg extensions. One other exercise you can do too is the GHD. Take off the back pad and use the knee support and put it in all the way and twist the knob to lock it. I recommend using mats on the seat so your knees are comfortable. Put a plate or 2 at the bottom to prevent the machine from tipping
DUDE thaaaaaank you!! I'm a Coop fan and this video showed up in the recommends - this seems like a GREAT PIECE for the value and you covered some of my favorite leg day moves here! Gonna pick one these up asap on payday! Any shot that code still works?
Damn 15 exercises. Thanks for the video. I did not know if i should buy the Atletica version ( i am in Europe) but now i will order it. I also save money since i do not need a Seated calf from what you shown.
Hey try adding a 25lb plate to your pin to get the weight to start in a position where gravity is pulling on the weight from the start. This way you might not have to start as far back, and you might be able to start engaged on leg curls too!
This video and the preacher curl hack are awesome! I just placed my fist Valor order and was able to use your code as well. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!! Love all the home gym videos so far. Thank you!!!
Matt - leave the removable peg in and add a 35 lb weight plate to it.. This will keep the weight lever arm at 45 degrees at the bottom of the movement. Simple solution to the lack of resistance at the bottom.
You just saved me $1,000,000. I was going to ask about reverse hypers, then you came back with the kickback. Could definitely see doing reverse hypers with this. Thank you!
after this i seriously want to sell my commercial leg raise / lying ham curl machine and getting this. amazing. i believe you could get away to close to about 150#'s on this machine and i can't believe most normal folks in a home gym are going to go over that...
Great Video! Just got mine today. Watched "Pumping Iron Movie" while Assembling the CC-4. The Machine is very Well Made. I only paid $379.03! 100% worth every penny! I found Your Advice on Adjusting the Sun Dial Disk and Leg Roller to its Lowest point it could go, to give it a better feel of added Resistance. #Genius !!! I only through on one 45lb Olympic Weight Plate and did 5 Sets of 12 Rep Leg Extensions. And then switched to Leg Curls for another 5 Sets of 12 Reps. I could feel the burn immediately. Could see for the first time in a while. My Thighs and Hamstrings Pumped. I thank God for Valor Fitness selling a Quality Made Machine for such a cheap price. This Machine is Solid. I added a 2 inch Sleeve Adapter to mine. Because all of my Weight Plates are all 2 inch. Anyway I just got to say Thank You for sharing all these Exercises You Discovered. I was Blown away with the Back Extensions, Calf Raises with a short wooden old footstool first step I had used for other exercises like Barbell Rows. I was also Amazed how You Discovered even the Hip Exercise. Great video! Valor Fitness should pay You for Teaching just How Much This Machine can Really do. I find it almost identical to Body Solids Version. Thanks Again......
I have this same machine and love it. I connected a cable/pulley system to the weight sleeve using a carabineer so that I can add resistance at the low end of the movement. This obviously doesn't correct the fact that resistance is greater higher in the movement, but it lets you add your desired resistance right from the start.
When considering recent research on stretch-mediated hypertrophy, lengthened partials, etc, standing leg curls are inferior to the seated variety, since the hamstring is not stretched when standing. However, you’re definitely on the right track with adjusting the starting angle so that the resistance is near the maximum when the hamstring is in the stretched starting position. You can also add a weight plate to the stopper pin which will serve as a spacer to increase that starting angle a few more degrees.
Great video wish I had space for this in half garage gym already have sauna, rack, weight storage, treadmill and battle bike so zero room but thinking about getting Stray Dog GOAT attachment small lever arm and doing standing leg curls. I can hook to my Athena cable system for continuous resistance as well. I wasn't sure if standing leg curls were good and you've convinced me so wanted to thank you!
This video is bloody awesome. Was considering buying one as I want to work out more at home outside of the gym. These are great. Thank you for this video 👌
I just wanted to give an Update to my first post. I discovered that the Insert for Holding the thighs in place. Also Accepts my Body Solid Preacher Curl. I was able to use it as a Preacher Curl platform. And I removed the Leg Roller Pad to Attachments to do Bicep Curls using Carribiner Hooks attached to a short chain for doing Bicep Curls using the weight on the Machine. I am trying to figure out a way for rigging the Machine to do Triceps. By sitting backwards on the seat. To do Overhead Tricep Extensions. And maybe with the Preacher Curl Insert. Be able to rest me back against the Preacher Curl Pad and try doing somehow Lat Pullovers. This Machines Platform is very well Designed. #LoveDoingTheAbCruchs !!!
Excellent demonstration video. I too have several valor machines. I recently got rid of a similar machine by a different company because it was a joke but your video of the valor version is going to have me run out and pick up one very soon.
Dude thank you.. I have a home gym and I'm planning on buying one this week. I knew you could do a lot with this machine, but I didn't know you could do so much. Thank you
Excellent Excellent video. I just bought this piece of equipment, and this video has helped me really expand my workouts. I can nearly duplicate 'leg day' at the gym now. Thanks a bunch.
Wow great video:) do you think I will be able to do all this with the titan leg extensions and curl machine v2??? It looks the same as the Valor one except its the titan one??
Just ordered that machine great video just gave me a better reason to buy it and thanks for the promotion code saved some money got me more excited to use the machine now with these workouts
After one month of use, I must say for me the curl is way more easy on this machine then the extensions ! It even feels more natural that our professional machine at the gym. But for extensions, with the tips Matt is giving , it is even more difficult to get into the machine since the padded support will really get under the seat, you have to push it hard with the right leg only with all the weights on, and the square metal piece in front of the seat REALLY doesn't help you get into place. So I figured I could take the peg out, and insert it on the other side, so that it can prevent the padded support to go too far down under the seat. It works, but it's not quite long enough. Sorry it maybe difficult to picture if you haven't tried this machine yet... It does the trick for me since we're in our 4th lockdown where I live and we train at home... But , the Titan seated machine really looks more evolved and convenient than the CC4. I am sorry it was not in stock when I made my choice... Otherwise, for the price I really think this is a decent machine, quality build, great service. I would not recommeend it though if you more than fett tall, and big....
Awesome video! I own a couple of commercial grade machines. Specifically, the leg extension and the hamstring machine. I paid a lot for them and they are very specific for the exercises they were created. Not much room to do all the things that you’ve done here with them, unfortunately. But, you have given me a bunch of great ideas. I may weld up some arms (leg attachment parts) for each to accommodate various of the exercises you performed here. Maybe small flat platforms for the foot to rest during pushing exercises, etc… Thank you for all the great ideas!
Great video listing all the tips, variations & hacks. One person reviewing this machine complained the the pad at the ankle when doing extensions was too thin. Their ankle bone was actually hitting the bar inside the pad. Your thoughts? Thanks 👍
Ok, got the equipment should be shipped soon; used the code and that was very nice so thx for that and the video! I think this will be a great addition to my gym
This is definitely worth some thought. I was on the fence about a specialty machine like this due to the space and limited applications, but this does provide some other ideas for use. Since you have a cable stack, why not attach the low pulley to the weight arm? That would give you continuous resistance.
for a cable to work effectively you would need a cam, have a look at the body solid pro select series, its there plate loaded machines converted to cable, u could either buy the part if available or have it fabracated, id imagine cutting up a bike wheel would work
Great vid Next year I really want a seated calf raise and a preacher bench for my setup, however getting a leg curl/extension looks way better bang for the buck compared to a dedicated calf raise (can only really do calves and 1 arm rows instead with that)
Definitely. And keep you eyes on facebook marketplace for those things as well, because people are starting to sell their pandemic equipment and it's getting cheaper
Dope video, thanks for sharing!! If you were to load the loader with heavy weight, 3-4 45lb plates, would it cause the machine to shake and become unsteady? I notice that unlike the titan fitness version, there is nowhere to stack weights to stabilize this machine Also, I heard that some people said the padding where you place your shins/ankle against to do extensions feels cheap and is painful. Do you agree?
I absolutely love this video and appreciate all the details you go into. Would this machine do well if i added 100-150lbs? I haven't been able to find this answer anywhere 😞
I have this same machine, but by GMWD. How much weight do u put on this machine? I also struggle with the narrow part of it. Appreciate the honesty about the leg curls and i hate that leg pad thing in the seat and it sucks getting out lol.
Little late, but if you hang a 25-35 lb. Plate on the stop pin then adjust pad to a normal start. You have resistance throught the entire movement without compromise. Hope this helps someone.
I have some stuff from Titan and overall really happy with the quality, so I'm sure the leg extension is a decent purchase as well. Definitely worth consideration
In doing so you reduce the difficulty during full contraction. Should ideal do sets of both - same reason why prime plate loaded eqp has multiple load locations. Great video though. Really highlights all the unconventional uses of this machine.
I got the komodo version. Like you, I'm not keen on the leg curl bit. I do find that if you put a lot of weight on it and do leg extensions, the machine does lift off the ground, so I have to add plates into the rear frame to hold it down. Did you get the same issue?
By the way some of the things you do with this would be much easier if you just take a plate (different diameters have different effect) and put it on the stopper, so for leg extensions and leg curls of example you can get the resistance to start earlier in the movement but without doing all this contorting or risking having the machine hyperextend your knee during leg curls.
I'm not actually sure what you mean but certainly there are other ways to go about it, I just showcased what has worked best for me. I don't worry about an injury risk because I'm not trying to move insane amounts of weight
Thanks for posting this it's very informative. Do you think it's possible to rig a low pulley cable to it to cure the strength curve problem or is there no space or would it cause the thing to over balance?
dude this is genius. I feel like I just gained several specialty machines in my basement now. I was doing a few of these already but the ab and back movements are awesome. Thanks!
Most useful video I've watched in a long time - cheers, subbed.
I finished building my new leg machine and I bump into this. Sir you're a creative genius. Can't wait to try these
Appreciate it! Enjoy the machine, I love it.
This design seems to be better than most due to the extra “reach” for creating better angles for the loading bar. Great video.
I appreciate this video. I recently ordered a similar machine a few days ago and your exercise demonstration has opened exercise possibilities I hadn't considered.
I was debating buying this machine. I had no idea you could do so many exercises. Great innovation and video!
The CC4 is finally back in stock today. I used your code and saved over $20 bucks!
Thanks Matt!

I put my leg ext/curl unit together today, and this video helps me better grasp how to use it. Great job!
Bought one for $50. Super happy I found your video. Thank you for doing this.
Oh wow nice deal!
You just saved me $1,000,000. I was going to ask about reverse hypers, then you came back with the kickback. Could definitely see doing reverse hypers with this. Thank you!

Great video! I just learned 12 new excercises..Thanks bud
Wow he's a genius!! Thks for all the tips!!!
You're so welcome!
I put a band from the weight to the back of the chair. It provides resistance throughout the entire range of motion.
I have done dead lifts and bicep curls too back in the day.
Excellent demonstration video. I too have several valor machines. I recently got rid of a similar machine by a different company because it was a joke but your video of the valor version is going to have me run out and pick up one very soon.
I'm so happy I found this video. Thank you for sharing.
Legendary tutorial. I was hesistant to purchase this, but now i add to cart kashing kashing and will wait for my unit to arrive❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Dude thank you.. I have a home gym and I'm planning on buying one this week. I knew you could do a lot with this machine, but I didn't know you could do so much. Thank you

You're the smartest guy I've ever seen

Genuis with the standing leg curls!!Why didn't I think of that!!?
One of my favorite movements too
Fantastic video even valor didn't know their machine could do so much ... Cheers
Sub sent your way, just bought this for my home gym. Legs need work. What great ideas too dude 🙏💪
Great video, I have this machine by body solid but it’s practically identical so can’t wait to try some of these out
Ritik, did you try these on the body solid? Were you able to do all the exercises?
Holy shit you're a genuis! I'll be 100% buying and using your code!
Great video listing all the tips, variations & hacks. One person reviewing this machine complained the the pad at the ankle when doing extensions was too thin. Their ankle bone was actually hitting the bar inside the pad. Your thoughts? Thanks 👍
Great advice, just ordered one of these. Thank you for the video
No problem 👍
Amazing review. This one is so much cheaper than titan but a lot less popular. Going to grab it based on your review. Thanks for posting.
Happy to help!
Ok, got the equipment should be shipped soon; used the code and that was very nice so thx for that and the video! I think this will be a great addition to my gym
Thanks, Donald! Hope it treats you well 💪
Great review, man. About to buy this puppy
Hope you enjoy it!
your the BEST i just bought this today and i love all the different exercises you came out with thank you new sub here your great thank you
just purchased one and used your discount code, good video.
Wow thanks for this video ! This helps so much !
This is definitely worth some thought. I was on the fence about a specialty machine like this due to the space and limited applications, but this does provide some other ideas for use.
Since you have a cable stack, why not attach the low pulley to the weight arm? That would give you continuous resistance.
for a cable to work effectively you would need a cam, have a look at the body solid pro select series, its there plate loaded machines converted to cable, u could either buy the part if available or have it fabracated, id imagine cutting up a bike wheel would work
Great vid
Next year I really want a seated calf raise and a preacher bench for my setup, however getting a leg curl/extension looks way better bang for the buck compared to a dedicated calf raise (can only really do calves and 1 arm rows instead with that)
Definitely. And keep you eyes on facebook marketplace for those things as well, because people are starting to sell their pandemic equipment and it's getting cheaper
Dope video, thanks for sharing!!
If you were to load the loader with heavy weight, 3-4 45lb plates, would it cause the machine to shake and become unsteady? I notice that unlike the titan fitness version, there is nowhere to stack weights to stabilize this machine
Also, I heard that some people said the padding where you place your shins/ankle against to do extensions feels cheap and is painful. Do you agree?
Bruh!😳🙆🏻♂️🤯🤯🤯👌🏽Thanx a million!
Great stuff man liked and subscribed for the quality content
Cool video, thanks! I just picked up the Titan version. This is super useful content.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Valor has a new single leg model called the cc-8 was wondering if you’ve seen this one and your thoughts if you have
This is really creative! Great video!
Thank you so much!
I have this machine. These variations are great! Thank you
This video is ridiculously useful. Thank you
My pleasure!
Awesome video, you could probably do Donkey Calf Raises too
I tried, but I'm too tall for that. The range of motion doesn't work out for me for those
I absolutely love this video and appreciate all the details you go into. Would this machine do well if i added 100-150lbs? I haven't been able to find this answer anywhere 😞
Fantastic!
Good video. Really good. You just sold one of those……lol, I will use the discount. Two years……hopefully it’s still valid.
Parabéns professor 👏👏👏👏 Show 👏👏👏 você é um gênio!!!
I have this same machine, but by GMWD. How much weight do u put on this machine? I also struggle with the narrow part of it. Appreciate the honesty about the leg curls and i hate that leg pad thing in the seat and it sucks getting out lol.
Awesome brother...you gave me a lot of good ideas..thank you!!!
Happy to help!
Great video and advice, thank you! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Clever and great video. Thank you
Thank you so much ! Very useful all your tips !👉🏻🤙🏻🤛🏻
My pleasure!
Little late, but if you hang a 25-35 lb. Plate on the stop pin then adjust pad to a normal start. You have resistance throught the entire movement without compromise. Hope this helps someone.
Love this video!
Thank you!!
Great information. Very creative.
i think maybe for hip thrusts would be good to have feet raised on something?
i have a few pieces from titan,,,,, but after seeing the reviews on the titan leg extension... im leaning towards valorfitness for this unit...
I have some stuff from Titan and overall really happy with the quality, so I'm sure the leg extension is a decent purchase as well. Definitely worth consideration
Grande!!!!
In doing so you reduce the difficulty during full contraction. Should ideal do sets of both - same reason why prime plate loaded eqp has multiple load locations. Great video though. Really highlights all the unconventional uses of this machine.

Once they are back in stock, I'll be taking advantage of your 5 % off code. Thank you very much!

I might be possible to work your obliques as well....

I'm not actually sure what you mean but certainly there are other ways to go about it, I just showcased what has worked best for me. I don't worry about an injury risk because I'm not trying to move insane amounts of weight
Good stuff!
excellent! 🤜🤛
Great video
Thanks!
EXCELLENT, THANK YOU
Thanks for posting this it's very informative. Do you think it's possible to rig a low pulley cable to it to cure the strength curve problem or is there no space or would it cause the thing to over balance?
Subbed. Excellent video.

Yeah the price of the Titan machine really shot up. I'd definitely go the cheaper route when it's that big of a difference
