I have been using their Isolateral decline, incline, and regular chest press. It has been very good to me because of the isolateral movement. I was wondering if there is comparison between the machines and barbell bench presses. Personally, I have seen better results, because it forces both arms to move independently of each other and I don't have to worry about needing a spotter. Recently however, it seems very strange. I have recently been able to do a couple of reps at 416 lbs.(On this hammer strength machine the initial resistance is 6 pounds and I put on four forty five and one twenty five pound plate on each side. A couple people at the gym were curious at how absurd my set up looked and tried it themselves. They couldn't even push it a little. These guys were pretty buff, so I know it is quite a bit of weight I am jacking up. I just was wondering what is equivalent of the 416 lbs on the hammer strenghth on the barbell bench press.
