Choose this one if

  • You want overhead pressing without a bar over your head
  • You want machine lateral raises, which dumbbells do badly at heavy loads
  • You have 39 by 35 inches of floor

The detail

Two machines in one frame: a shoulder press and a lateral raise. The press uses two sets of stationary handles; the delt raise uses 10-inch forearm pads with fixed handles. That second movement is the more interesting inclusion — lateral raises with dumbbells become awkward above about 30 lb because the resistance curve collapses at the top, and a machine with a proper cam keeps tension through the whole range.

Independent arm movement on sealed bearings is the specification to notice. Sealed bearings are what keep the arms moving smoothly years in, where bushings develop the stick-slip you feel as a series of small catches. Independent arms mean a weak side cannot hide behind a strong one.

Overhead pressing on a machine removes the failure mode that makes it risky alone — there is no bar to come down on your head, and no need to bail a missed rep behind you.

A 700 lb capacity on 11-gauge 2-inch steel is well beyond what anyone will press overhead. The 9.75-inch sleeves are the practical limit: roughly four iron plates per side.

The pads are worth reading. An 18 by 9.75 inch back pad is narrow — good, because a wide back pad on a shoulder press blocks your shoulder blades from moving, which is exactly what you need them to do overhead.

At 65 inches with the U-frame extended, it fits under any normal ceiling.

At 133 lb this sits between the 109 lb fly machine and the 155 lb chest press — placed once, not moved.

Adjustable seat height, and rubber feet included.
