I find it a little harder than smith or barbell..

From the video it looks like it has the natural curve the barbell would take from unracking to touching chest- I'd def try it out my gym has a similar machine but its an incline version--it hits my upper chest so well!

I would stick to the bench press.

I honestly prefer this machine. The weight seems heavier on it, your forced to start from your "sticking" position I think it could be useful for building some wicked strength.

The weight seems heavier? So you can rep 4 plates on flat barbell?

No I rep 3 plates 12 times.
I push 4 plates 5-6 times.
I pushed 4 plates and a 25 once on barbell.
What's hard to understand.
You still have to stabilize. One difference is your wrist isn't supenated.
Thats real weight on there, no other way to disguise it.
You start halfway through your "normal Rom"
Where you would normally get stuck.
It's a wicked machine

I'm just skeptical about machines.. I seen a guy squat 1k on some squat machine. You think he could free weight squat that? Hell no. But this machine seems pretty legit

I hear ya bro I barely use cables lmao.
You know how hard it is to do back with pull ups only?
I use this because its challenging with a better contraction, well IMO anyway
