HYBRID | Seated Pushdown

Bought this one without ever using it after hearing so many good things about it, and it ended up being the best pushdown machine I’ve used. The stack is plenty heavy and the thigh pads let you really lock yourself in and stay planted. The adjustable handles are another big plus and give you a few different ways to set up the movement depending on what feels best. Only potential downside I can see is for people with beat-up shoulders. You do have to lean forward into the movement, which could aggravate some shoulders depending on mobility and injury history. You can also use it facing the opposite direction with a seat belt to keep your hips pinned down, and that setup feels awesome if you want even more tricep isolation. I promise I’m not a Prime fanboy or a paid shill. They just make really good equipment. S tier for me.
