Ever a good reason to use Press Machines?

the_general64 · 03-26-2007, 05:49 AM

I only flat and incline bench press. I never use the press machines but they seem to be really popular at my gym. I would guess that most people use the machines than the bench. I understand the advantages of using the bench over the machines but is there any reason to ever incorporate the press machines in your workout?

yes. variety, may not want to worry about stabilisation, dropset, going hard without a spotter/partner etc.

I normally do press, and go light / high rep on flat get my stabilizers going since when I start I only did press.

I use them for drop sets. However, we talking hammer strength machines or machines with racked weight?
