The ergonomics on most Hammer Strength equipment definitely favor lifters under six feet tall. I literally have to drop the seat to its lowest setting, and even then, the muscle engagement just feels average. Honestly, you'll get a better stretch and pump simply doing incline dumbbell presses.

This is probably one of my favorite pieces of gym equipment. Its big for a home gym but just so good. This is the machine we try to make jammer arms work like, its the benchmark for all converging presses. My only gripe with this machine is I am not a fan of the way the seat adjusts but if I were putting one hammer strength machine in my home gym, this would be it.

Used in a commercial gym while on the road. Absolutely love the feel of this machine. Incredibly smooth and solid. Wish there was a smaller, home gym option

Excellent machine and allows a good chest stretch if you want it. Padding isn't too slick to where you’re all over the place. Can tell someone put this together with love and horsecockery in mind.

A classic piece that is popular for a reason. Fairly large footprint for what it is, but that is common of Hammer Strength.

A staple of large commercial gyms, they were getting more steam in secondary market pre-COVID. A large footprint, but if you have space it’s a very solid add and can accommodate a wide range of users

Solid machine for the upper chest. I've had times where the angle irritates my shoulders but as long as you keep the elbows tucked it works well
