Thread: How do you Hammer Strength?

Do you use these machines by pulling/pushing with both arms at the same time or one arm after another?

Depends on what I feel like doing.

I don't.

I miss Hammer Strength machines.

I have access to a couple of HS rowing machines and an incline press (which I almost never use). When I use the rowing machines I use both arms at the same time.

we have a few of them at my school. i use it with both arms at the same time

depends on the machine.. on the low rows i use 1 arm at a time. on bench and hugh rows both arms.

You can do either one. There is no way you are supposed to use them.

This machine I use both arms. But I've seen people do it with one arm at a time.

Either or. I don't don't use Hammer Strength stuff often, but I do really like it. The company I work for owns Hammer Strength and it's a top quality product.

If you have an over/ under developed body part, you can compensate by using different poundage on either the right or the left side.

I don't like that idea. While I'm not perfectly proportional, I wouldn't train one side heavier than the other.
