Never seen this machine

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

What about a crazy expensive new machine that simulates doing a push-up

[Tapeworm]

Looks like a Free Motion Machine

Ain't nothing free in this life brother.

It's so weird how before the two posters figured out the brand, no one had used that machine or seen it or knew what it was called. But then as soon as a link was posted, everyone in this thread used it and hated it.

That looks really cool, but it looks like the handles are fixed at the bottom pulleys which limits areas of the chest that can be hit. 

It would be cooler if the handles could slide up and down and locked into different points between the top and bottom pulleys. (assuming it can't)  You could hit everything if that was the case.  Cool contraption either way.

I've used some of this new stuff where parts of the machine move with your body.  The only one I like so far is the seated leg curl.

I stated I had used this on cruise ships before.  The last one I was on that had it was the NCL Star.

Death is free.

For you.  But someone else gotta drop some coins for the ferryman.

Looks pretty cool. Have never seen it before.

He's using a machine that was in the female area of the gym. That should tell you all you  need to know.

I'd like to see it modified with supination capabilities.

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.

Brand of the machine is clearly visible at the video, you have to google "dual pulley chest station" and crap like that? It is always fun to see you guys doing your best with your very very low IQ

I've used it several times. Hotel gym. Good to finish of chest workout.

Surely not as much fun as reading your beautifully crafted, completely coherent posts.

It's amazing how many new contraptions are invented to do the same thing calisthenics and free weights do.  How much better is this machine for your chest than pushups?

  Just by glancing at it you can see that the weight is variable. And the link to it posted above shows that it's designed to be multifunctional.

I've never used it, don't know if it's good or not, but this trend of pretending anything beyond a 5-minute jumping jacks session  is a pointless workout has gotten pretty ridiculous.

I didn't say anything about jumping jacks.  Do you believe that contraption can work a person's chest better than various different type of pushups?

The jumping jacks part was obvious sarcasm.

If the machine is made well (the price point and design suggests that it might be), then yes, it does offer advantages over push ups. Just the fact that you can vary the weight is an advantage.  You can use it for a heavier main exercise or for a lighter, high rep closer.

I said earlier that I like seated chest exercises because I feel they work the upper chest more. There is no other machine I've seen with handles that aren't on fixed axes. It is a design advancement compared to what's out there.

the best chest movement i think i've ever found is this below. unfortunately no gym i've ever attended regularly has had one and i don't have enough space to justify one in my home gym.

the machine in the OP looks quite a similar movement

Dude, Women's Express has damn cable machines.  WTF you talking about?

Your pecs activate both pushing out and pulling across.  Push-ups miss the mark on the second part

It's not that it's necessarily better, it's that having both (or things similar) would allow for more complete training of the muscle.

Go join women's express then. with your  physique they'll think you're a woman anyway.

I really couldn't give a fuck (notice, "couldn't ") how many gyms have them. No gym that i have been a member of has. And I'm not someone who is going to travel out of my way for some specific type of machine.  As long as a gym has sufficient equipment that I can hit every body part with sufficient weight/resistance , that does the trick for me. I really not gonna obsess over whether or not I'm hitting a muscle from the "best angle" etc

In my home gym I have a grand total of 5 machines (all free weight loaded) a power rack, a bench and a small assortment of bars/dumbells and a stack of weight plates.

Very limited compared to any commercial gym. Yet on the occasion I do go to a gym these days I'm usually in better shape than 90%+ of the rest of the people there.  Go figure...

You’re also on gear, so of course you’re going to be in better shape than 90% of people.

Being in better shape than a natural is not really an accomplishment when you’re on drugs.

Just sayin’.👍🏻👍🏻
