Excellent machine that targets two areas that are very difficult to match in a home gym. I tried for years to replicate both adduction and abduction isolation, but was never able to do so in a way that felt good and could actually progress. Biggest issue with this machine is it has a light stack so most people will have to use a gympin to add weight. Other problem is the entry and exit is not particularly easy, especially for adduction.

One of the best overhead presses to exist imo. Biggest issue with the evo line is the stack is unconventional and uses an oddly shaped selector pin, so can’t use a gympin with these. Thankfully I’m weak and will never max out this machine!

Very well designed and appreciate how light/smooth they are in operation. The ability to secure with magpin from the back is also very nice. They are very expensive once you start customizing, and mine arrived with some minor blemishes. They also scratch quite easily. I’m happy with them, but if I could choose again I would probably go Bremmy.

My favorite magpins that feel and function the best of any I’ve used, but the price makes them hard to recommend. I recently picked up the dialed motion magpins but found I prefer the 5.5” length of the oak clubs for added security with attachments, particularly when using the Darko mount with Voltra. I’ve never had issue with scratching my rack as others have stated. If the price were better on these I don’t see how they could be beat.

My primary flat bench, however I upgraded to the Thompson fat pad (great choice). Could benefit from having wheels as it’s not super light with the fat pad. I believe newer versions do have wheel capability now. Nonetheless I’ve had the bench for years and shows no signs of slowing down.
