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 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

The Naut. pull over is one case where the machine is spectacularly better than the free weight version of the exercise.

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.

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.  
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.

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.

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.

Seated Calf Raise machines are great too.

Pullover Machines have faded out in so many gyms..such a shame.

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
