Title: Does your gym have Hoist machines?
Post by: calfzilla on April 10, 2014, 03:20:40 AM
Mine has them and I'm really starting to like them. Especially for dips and shoulder press.

I trained 2 Weeks ago in Goldīs Gym Hurghada/Egypt. They have a lot of hoist machines. I would say it depends what machine you use, and also when in your whole training session.
For example i did some sets on the preacher-curl machine. But i wondered how easy the machine "where going". Could do sets of 8-10 reps with 95 kg/210 lbs. on each side of the machine (total load 420 lbs for biceps-curls.....so itīs clear that some machines only bring a certain % of the resistance to your muscles....

[But for a + 50 year old man like me a good choice, cause the risk of injury seems to be very low with that equipment. But again, use it in between, or at the end of my workouts...

Most arm machines fuck with your biomechanics. You can't go wrong with free weights 8)

i can put 800lbs on the hoist leg press and do few sets like it's nothing
i can't even do one proper rep with regular machine using the same weight

That's a beautiful Egyptian gym.

Don't think I would ever do a workout entirely of Hoist but there are some I really like for warming up or finishing with. Usually use the tricep dip machine and the shoulder press. Chest press on occasion.
