The Machine
• Planes of Motion - The long parallel or vertical handles
are specifically designed to allow motion in the sagittal
plane (extension). The horizontal handles allow full motion
in the horizontal plane for optimum posterior deltoid (rear
delt) work. The length/position of the handles allows use
of either set from the same seat position.
• Range of Motion - The dual-axis technology allows a
greater range of motion in the horizontal plane (rear delt)
than any other machine by allowing the user to start
directly in front and move outward, then back.
• Variable Resistance - The machine provides maximum
resistance at the beginning of motion and appropriately
decreases the resistance to allow full contraction at the
end.
• Two Directions of Resistance - The dual-axis technology is used in the rear delt movement
to not only provide resistance against the backward movement (by pulling forward against
you) but also to provide resistance against the outward motion that is optimal at the begin-
ning of the movement (by pushing the hands together). By providing two directions of resis-
tance within the horizontal plane of motion posterior deltoid stimulation is increased and the
elbow flexors are de-emphasized.
NOTE: Less weight will be employed when the handles are moved outward due to the
multiple directions of resistance and the increased muscular effort required of the rear
deltoids.
• 10 to 305 Pounds by Fives - The top plate provides a minimum weight of ten pounds.
Subsequent plates in the weight stack are twenty pounds each. Three “slide-on” five pound
incremental plates are securely positioned for easy access and effortless addition thereby
providing 10 to 305 pounds in five pound increments.
