Best pec deck I’ve ever used and honestly it’s not even close. The cams on this machine are perfect. Some of Prime’s adjustable resistance profiles on their selectorized stuff can feel pretty subtle, but on this machine you can really feel the difference when you change the cam setting. The pec fly has great ROM, the stretch feels awesome, and the contraction is really good too. Rear delt on this machine is just as good. Super smooth and one of the better rear delt movements I’ve used on any machine. S+ tier for me.

Love this machine. I’d been wanting a true commercial-grade leg extension / leg curl combo for a while, and both movements on this actually feel really good, which is pretty rare for a combo machine. I had a few Boba mods done to mine too (shoutout Nick) which made it even better. Added a seat belt to keep me locked in, extra adjustment holes on the seat so I can get farther forward and get a bigger stretch on the quads, and more adjustability on the lower leg roller so I can dial in the pad position better. I also prefer lying leg curls over seated leg curls, and the curl side on this gives me really good ROM and feels super smooth. Only real downside is there’s a little play in the seat pad when doing the leg curl. I usually just grab the frame instead of the handles and it doesn’t bother me much. S tier machine for me.

When I first used this machine I honestly didn’t like it. I kind of wrote off most selectorized chest presses at that point and just assumed they weren’t for me. Went back and tried it again later and did a complete 180 on it. I love the foot assist, the thick handles, and especially the neutral grip. The neutral grip feels awesome and you can get a really nice convergence at the top of the movement. Like all Prime machines, being able to adjust the cam and change the resistance profile is a huge plus. You can make the movement feel completely different depending on where you want it hardest. Also have a love/hate relationship with drop sets on these because they’re brutal, but the selectorized setup makes them super easy to do. Only slight downside is the weight stack is a little on the lighter side for stronger lifters. Easy S tier for me.

went back and forth for a while between getting a Cybex leg press or the Rogers Hip Press and ended up going with the Hip Press. First thing I noticed is how comfortable it is on my lower back. The seat has a ton of adjustment too, so you can really dial in the ROM for pretty much any body size. Like most Rogers/Pendulum stuff it’s also built like an absolute tank. I like that you can play around with foot placement quite a bit depending on what you want to hit more. Higher/lower and wider/narrower positions can shift where you feel it between the quads, glutes, adductors, etc. The resistance curve is interesting too. To me it feels pretty challenging coming out of the bottom, eases up some through the midrange, and then gets harder again as you get closer to the top. Rogers actually engineered a variable strength curve into the machine rather than giving it the more basic resistance curve you get on a traditional leg press. My biggest wish would be separate loading horns that let you manipulate the resistance curve. If I could add or take away resistance specifically at different parts of the movement, similar to what Prime does with their adjustable resistance profiles, this thing would be on another level. Honestly wish Prime would scrap their horrid leg press and make their version of a Hip Press with that system. That would probably be an easy S tier for me. As it sits, I have this somewhere right on the border between B and A tier.

this was one of those machines I fell in love with the second I used it. It’s incredibly smooth and the movement just feels really natural. I also really like having the two handle options. You can use the neutral grip if you want something a little more shoulder friendly and tucked, or the pronated grip for more of a traditional incline press feel and a little more chest emphasis. The adjustability is also a huge plus. Being able to choose exactly where you want the movement to start lets you get a really deep stretch without feeling like you’re getting buried at the bottom. For me this is an easy A-tier machine. The only thing keeping it out of S tier is I wish it had a little more convergence through the press.

This was made after the Nautilus Xplode and I actually like the Atlantis a little more. I can really target my lats on it when I use it unilaterally but if I lean back a bit while using it bilaterally I can get a lot more upper back involved too. First time I used it I pretty much fell in love with the movement. It was one of the best back machines I had used and one of the few where right after trying it I knew I wanted one in my home gym. Only real downsides are it’s a huge plate eater, which honestly might be part of why I like it because it feeds my ego, and like most Atlantis stuff it’s pretty expensive. Still one of my favorite back pieces, S tier for me.
