If you use the machine you will look like him after 30 days.

Based on that alone, I just ordered TWO of 'em!

Seriously, it looks kinda cool but it's a variation on a theme and while there's nothing wrong with that I'm not certain what it really has to offer over other machines or standard barbells/dumbells and cables. Thanks to Al for putting it up for us to see!

Seen these before, but they didn't have the seat.

You know what it's called? Tried googling "dual pulley chest station" and crap like that. Haven't gotten any hits.
I like the fact that the handles aren't fixed along any axis.

Excellent gear usage and receptors on the young man...

Can't decide between this or the George Foreman grill after my next payday.

The old cruise ship Norwegian Star has that machine, along with one similar to it for the back.

Surely Vince Basile must have a patent on this design.

Thought so too, but freemotion is a brand and that's all that google shows...not this thing.

I don't know. You have people who prefer dumbbell presses to barbell presses, not having anything to do with "innovative" designs, just a matter of personal preference. Personally, I always notice my upper chest working a lot on any machine chest exercise while sitting up and I like the idea of having to stabilize all of the axes on your own. No other machine does that, you can't really do replicate that with free weights, so I'd definitely be interested in trying this out if it was available near me.

It's actually a great machine for anyone with shoulder problems.

Flexacon · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2019, 01:16:05 PM »

Seen and used this. There are variations for back and shoulders too.

It was in the female area of the gym so that should tell you all you need to know..

They would be good for injury rehab or maybe to work on mind muscle connection if that's your thing. Pretty useless for any non newb lifter

Kwon · « **Reply #22 on:** February 06, 2019, 03:48:13 AM »

Seen and used those here in Swe.

Looks like a $6,000 piece of junk...

I was on vacation in San Diego last year and a relative took me to a huge golfing vacation spot for a couple of days. The gym had maybe 5 of those machines. I tried them all. I wasn't impressed with them. The handles slide up and down the cable to fit different size people.
