I think Dorian gave a big credit for his back development to these machines.

Oh yeah, I remember him using one in blood and guts I think.
I don't have access to one of those old rusty things anymore but I have dreams about using it. ;D

I think the best machine ever would have to be the leg press

I think you're right, but leg press isn't very mechanical (like the Smith Machine) so I exclude it from the machine category.

Don't know if you could class it as a machine, as it's also pretty non-mechanical but these things were the best for side delt raises - only machine (apart from the rampant rabbit) that has had me screaming in pain: Kind of like this one but much older and more basic

I used to live in of those when I was poor.

Best machine ever. Incredible lat pump. I remember I had access to one recently for one work out. I swear the next time I did chins I got two extra.
-
The Naut. pull over is one case where the machine is spectacularly better than the free weight version of the exercise.
-
i love to have a machine i can "sit" on
-
Lat pulldown
-
car or maybe airplane
-
Nice post PIP, I love that machine. Wish more gyms had them.

Agreed, machine pullovers really hit the lats while taking the arms out of it. They're a good first exercise to get warmed up and going.

feast ur eyes my friends on the best delt machine ever made. to this day it has no rivals. The press sucks but the lateral raise has no rivals. This is my vote for best machine ever

Looks good, but I much prefer plate loaded machines - they just feel 'smoother' and there's no 'sticking points' either
-
Yes, best machine has to be the pullover. Hits the lats in the way they're supposed to be worked by forcing the arms down and back and taking forearms and grip strength completely out the equation.
Leg press and lateral raise machines are also up there too for honourable mentions and have helped develop me into the sexy beast I am today.

I got one for my last birthday. It's my favorite machine too.

I usually like to finish up with them. I especially like to on heavy back days. My favorite back routine is doing deads, barbell rows, t-bar rows, and then finish up raping my back by pyramiding four sets (to failure) on the pullover machine with a drop set after the fourth. As good as it gets.

Haha, I can picture BigCyp with his cannonball delts on this thing doing a savage drop set screaming at the top of his lungs and frightening all the tinytits in the gym that day.

kinda like how it is in this clip, with his biological twin appearing out of nowhere to push his training efforts well beyond failure ;D

There's a very similar biceps Nautilus machine that is overhead.

So why are the machines in modern gyms complete garbage compared to gym equipment from the 70's and 80's?
???
People are just bigger pussies?
???
-
I owned both the nautilus pullover and double shoulder a while back.... great machine's but not the holy grail some people make them out to be.

The weight stack goes all the way to potato.

i think his back wouldve been the same no matter what he tried
Actually his back wasnt that great in his earlier years... and after losing a show against a guy who had a better back than him he went back to the drawing board and did things a lot differently there after... he has said he considers the pullover machine 'priceless' in the quest for a great back.... its kind of ridiculous more gyms don't have pullover machines, the biggest muscle in the upper body and you cant train it directly in most gyms lol....... Kai greene also abuses a nautilus pullover machine afaik and look at his lats.
-

yes...his "Yates" rows are famous. I do not stand so upright when i do them but i love BB rows.

modern machines r meant to break I think. Big companies make the vast majority of the profit on cardo shit now.

are they?please tell more about this, dorian yates is the bodybuilder with the personality i most like.
one of the best back builders .. Dorian stood very high.. how high will depend on your body

Dorian used the plate loaded version.
-
Lat pulldown
i agree with you most versatile piece out there. pulldowns various grips, cable rows. tri pressdowns, bi curls standing laying across bench. serratus ab pulls. and more.
-
Hammer Strength Side Lateral machine is awesome!
Seated Calf Raise machines are great too.
Pullover Machines have faded out in so many gyms..such a shame.
-
dorian used the plateloaded nautilus pullover to prexhaust his lats,which the machine was best for!
-
Yes without this machine Dorian would have won four "O"s at best.
-

Correct. Same concept was what I was getting at. Its hard enough to find a gym with a pullover machine, let alone a plate loaded one.
-
Cable machine.

I injured my back very badly doing rows like this about 8 years ago. It has recovered, but it has always felt vulnerable ever since.

Out of curiosity, how much weight were you rowing?

I actually don't remember precisely, but I never went very heavy on that exercise- probably the heaviest I ever went was 225. I used to do them significantly bent over- nearly parallel to the floor, but one day I tried them much more upright like Dorian and seriously hurt my back. That was 8 years ago and it has never been the same. I never went to the doctor to determine the extent of the injury. Oh well, live and learn. I hardly ever do them any more- I just do one arm dumbbell rows in their place
