Hammer Strength Equipment?

[ianmpeebles]

How do you guys feel about hammer strength equipment? I like to use the incline and flat press if a spotter is not present. Overall, I have had great results from using it, as I have developed stabilizer strength and added extra roundness to my chest. I will frequently start of with hammer strength inclines to pre-exhaust my chest. Does anyone else do this? What have been your results?

re hammer

I like HS.. But I dont use a whole lot of machines in my training.. Ive tried the bench press versions but will always stayed with free weights the exception is if I have an injury present, then I tend to use more machines to work around it.. Machines are a good break from free weights for some people as it provides a different movement... What ever works for you do it.. everyones different.. I bought the HS pl high row last year and love it, you should try it if they have it at your gym... fucking $$$ though...

free weights allow for more ROM.

HS machines have their place, but they are no substitute for free weights.
