SaiFightsMS Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I just did a workout with the Nautilus Nitro machines my gym got. They are very definately smaller and easier to get in and out of than the Nautilus machines of the 70's. I normally use free weights and hammer equipment. Very different feel. The pull over machine is still not built for people with short arms. Does anyone else work with them; or have any experience with them; or opinions about them?
jamis Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 My gym has circuits of the following: Beginner LifeFitness, Beginner Cybex, Cybex Eagle Nautilus Nitro Hammer Strength MTS Plate Load Nautilus Plate Load Hammer Stength I use the complete Hammer MTS circuit for upper body, with a few select machines from the Nautilus Nitro circuit for my lats and chest. I occationally use the tricep and bicep machines from the Cybex Eagle circuit. I just like the feel of the Hammer MTS, plus each arm can be done independantly of the other (one at a time, alternating, etc). Overall, the Nautilus Nitro are ok, I guess... I just prefer the Hammer machines.
SaiFightsMS Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 Actually so do I. Just happened that I was in at a time of day where the free weight room the hammer equipment is in was too busy. I think the hammer equipment is the most accomadating in terms of handling those of differing physical sizes. The same machine will easily handle some one five foot four and a person six foot four.
