The VTS Launch Pad is a no-nonsense, space-saving solution designed for leg presses, calf raises, and lower-body training. It works seamlessly with your VTS trolleys, setting into your barbell latch in seconds and locking in with wrap-around hitch hooks.
Built for speed and functionality, the Launch Pad features a reinforced, laser-cut footplate wide enough for any stance—even in tight setups like the Tri-Post Rack. It accepts optional 9" or 12" weight horns, making it universal for VTS and VTS Lite users alike.
Ultra-Fast Setup
Latches directly into the VTS barbell latch system in seconds. No complicated assembly—just set, lock, and lift.
Space-Saving Design
Built-in plate storage and a compact footprint fit even tight racks without sacrificing your stance or training options.
Reinforced & Engineered
Tank-built with laser-cut weight reduction. This is a standalone, functional piece—not a home-gym afterthought.

Works with VTS trolleys and accepts 9" or 12" weight horns. VTS Lite users can screw horns directly into the Launch Pad.
This is leg day, upgraded—engineered to do more, weigh less, and get you pressing weight faster than ever.

What's the difference between short and long hooks?
Short hooks are designed for lifters who prefer minimal foot movement during leg presses and calf raises. Long hooks provide more range for repositioning your feet during the movement. Choose based on your personal stance preference—short for compact positioning, long for greater foot flexibility.
Can I use the VTS Launch Pad if I own VTS Lite?
Yes. VTS Lite users can screw weight horns directly into the Launch Pad itself instead of attaching them via trolley. This makes the Launch Pad truly universal—no special adapters needed.
Do I need to buy weight horns separately?
No. The Launch Pad base model ($299) comes without weight horns, but you can add optional 9" or 12" horns at purchase for an additional $100. If you already have weight horns from another VTS attachment (like the Feather Barbell or ISO Handles), you can simply move them to the Launch Pad without any unscrewing—they stay locked in your trolley.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The VTS Launch Pad has a maximum load capacity of 350 lbs, making it suitable for serious leg-pressing training. It's engineered to handle heavy loads while maintaining stability and durability.
Will the Launch Pad fit in a Tri-Post Rack or other narrow setups?
Yes. The footplate is specifically designed to fit even tight racks like the Tri-Post Rack without sacrificing stance width or training functionality. Its space-saving design makes it ideal for compact home gyms and small training areas.
What movements can I do with the padded cushion?
The padded cushion (included free with purchase) expands your exercise options to include donkey calf raises, seated calf raises, and other variations you can imagine. It's a flexible tool for exploring different movement patterns beyond standard leg presses.
