Any1 use the hammer strength machines?
What do you guys think about them?

Yeah.I use a few on occasion (bench / incline bench, and rows for the most part) occasionally use the seated shoulder press.
In terms of machines - those are my first choices compared to the other machines at the gym.
Right...I use them on deload week to get some lagging size up to par one arm at a time.
Good to know.There good machines, but they don't accomodate the strength curve very well. However, they're great for hypertrophy.
If you want definition do not go lighter and more reps. You built your body on heavy weight lifting. If you want definition critique the diet! DIET! DIET! DIET!Think I'm going to try some hammer strength.
Been doing the free weights, I hate to say it but been using that mostly since last rear and only changing up my routine very minimally.
I gained some great size, but a few guys told me to try and get some more definition, so I started doing the high reps lighter weight, but think incorporate more hammers for a few weeks maybe longer and see what the outcome is....
Haven't seen a low row hammer strength, maybe my gym doesn't have it...Hammer Strength incline press works nicely for me. I also like the low row. Feel that one all in my back/traps. Def. advise you to try the low row
Yes.Think we might have something like that it looks different though.
Your chest faces the red pad right?
May gothe only one i really dislike is the behind the neck pull down, but i am not a fan of those regardless of the machine I do love them for the better range of motion and the free movement for each arm. I dont have a spotter so for when i try to really push the weights for chest presses I go to the HS press
We have the pull over one as well, but honestly i have never used it
My gym has 2 hammer strength dip machines. They are alright but personally I rather do dips with a weighted beltMay go
Into the gym tonight and bust out some hammer strength machines....
Have not seen one for dips yet.
Supposed to be an off day but I'm feeling kinda good.
whats interesting is that my chiropractor has recommended the behind the neck pull down for me. And his rationale makes sense. As a bodybuilder, your normal concentration on pecs + front delts has the tendency to pull your shoulders forwards and upwards in the socket, and by working the muscles used for the behind the neck pulldown you exert some help in the opposite directionthe only one i really dislike is the behind the neck pull down, but i am not a fan of those regardless of the machine
