Leg press good for pitchers?

its good for overall lower body strength,just make sure to use both sides equally.Great for people who can no longer squat(like me)

Are you just starting out lifting? Best do it right. I wouldn't go out and buy something, especially something of poor quality. Besides, you're likely to outgrow any affordable home model soon. Your school should have one, and you really should be lifting under the guidance of a coach or trainer.

I started lifting about 6 months ago but last week was the first time I started doing leg press. I was doing mostly upper body but now I am trying to focus more on lower body.

Also, where can you get a leg press machine for not too much dough?

Guess that depends on your "not too much dough"

Do not expect to find one for less than a thousand dollars I'd say. I'd be really surprised if you could A) find one and B) find one that would be useful without putting a significant amount of money into it.

And you don't want to deal with moving that type of thing--trust me. I've done it and it is a major PITA. It took 4 of us to get it onto the trailer.

I bought a verticle leg press for my son a couple years ago from Rock Solid Fitness.

They have a couple reasonably priced units.

The weights are bought separately and can be added as you build up strentgh. We've probably got about $5-600 in the leg press & weights. I added an additional set of holes in the frame to allow him to adjust the amount of movement to his size.
