People with stubby arms and short torsos were having a hard time using the machine with normal sized dimensions. All about expanding their base.

The same exact machine was at my gym for years.  You could use one arm at a time.  For some reason, I never got much out of it.  They recently trashed the thing.

A gym that I work out at occasionally has an old Nautilus pullover machine similar to the one in the photo.  It's actually a great machine, my back really feels it.

If I could do only one Tricep machine exercise, it would be rope push downs, preferably with Jamie Eason between me and the rope.

    I'm so demotivated to train i do the most basic of basics for a certain muscle group.
Just today i did arms, 5-6 sets of bicep curls and 5-6 sets of triceps extensions in between, so i get away from the gym faster.
    I didn't even bother to change the bar and it's weights, i just change rep range accordingly.

Skull crushers are the thing.
Never got nothing from pushdowns, kickbacks, French presses feel awkward too.
CGBP are ok, but nothing beats skulls.

the tricep straightens the arm, any movement done under tension with high intensity will make your triceps grow to their maximum potential, the best exercise is what stresses the muscle the most.

No. It's just to warn people about the useless training generalities that you post.

I get it, you don't understand the difference between a claim and an argument, which makes you a piss poor debater, all big mouth.

Me too.

Roger sold the place last year.

Quite possibly the best selection of high end machines in the United States.

Roger was closed minded to machines outside the realm of Nautilus, Hammer Strength and MedX.

While I feel those lines were the best for their time, there were always a few great pieces from Flex, BodyMasters and Strive.

I realy do wish they were a common thing,,,wonder why they aren't,,I've never seen one in person and only rarely seen them in videos and whatnot,,,,I think seeing Dorian use it in blood and guts gave me a huge boner for it,,

I actually think there's one at a gym about 30 minutes from me,,,coincidentally it is also Jason bloho's gym LOL
