I picked this up at auction knowing it was one of the more rare pieces to come across for the Gen 1 and 2 lines. Thought I would just resell it but it actually feels pretty awesome. Chain-drive smoothness, extra cushion pad for the bottom seat to raise you up if needed and an extra front pad for the chest to set you back or lock you in more firmly. The contraction really brings the back into play differently than a rear fly and feels awesome. Love burning these up for higher reps or FST7 style sets with minimal rest. Got this in pristine condition and super happy I did. Just have to make room for it in the rest of the gym.

Early chain-drive nautilus leg extensions are pretty much all amazing. This one is as well. Very smooth, easy on the knees, very comfortable shin pads. They last over 50 years and still feel better than most stuff made today. I picked this one up at auction and will probably be keeping it despite already having a Hoist HD Leg ext/leg curl combo and a Flite Leg Extension (which is still my favorite). This one just hits a little differently and I love these old units especially in pristine condition.

Not just for women! This chain-drive fly has a steeply angled chest pad and adjustable seat with belt to get you in the perfect position for a great stretch and contraction in the pecs. The chain drive is super smooth and feels great. Picked this up at auction in pristine condition and will probably be keeping it for my home gym to supplement my Hoist HD Swivel Handle pec/rear fly. Great machine!

This is the best seated leg curl I have ever used. My dad has had this machine in his STL gym for 30+ years so obviously build quality is exceptional. The best part about the Hamtractor is that you can set the calf/ankle pad high for a great pre stretch, set the knee pad nice and tight so you can stay in the seat and keep tension on the hams, and then use the lever arm to assist pushing the ankle pad down to where you can still get your legs in and get that pre stretch. Great force curve, great seat angle. This is the GOAT.

I prefer the original Strive versions to the newer Prime. Not a huge fan of adjustable resistance on plate loaded machines and I very much prefer a simple leverage style, single horn design like my Flite. I also prefer the seat angle on the Flite more as it’s easier on my knees with better stretch.

Well built but like most arsenal it doesn’t seem to fit me or my body mechanics well. Might be because I’m 5’5” or maybe Arsenal just makes poorly designed equipment. Most of their plate loaded machines are uncomfortable and not adjustable enough for me. This one is too.

One of the few Arsenal pieces I like. Well built and good force curve for chest and back. Good heavy stack as well. Pretty standard pec fly but I wouldn’t walk past this one like I do with most of the other Arsenal stuff.

Great machine. Assembly is a little challenging, and the cable could be slightly longer to allow full adjustment. I plan to reach out to TOG to see if they can send a longer one. I’ve had the machine for a few weeks now and it’s excellent—great resistance, smooth movement, solid range of motion, and very comfortable. They recently upgraded the leg width adjustment rod so it extends higher, and it looks like I bought mine just before that update came out. One thing I really like is the weight stack. It’s much heavier than most abductor/adductor machines. Usually I can max these machines out pretty easily, but that’s not the case here. This one gives plenty of room to keep progressing. The only small downside is that the plates are kilogram plates. The stickers show both kg and lb, but the increments don’t line up with nice even 5–10 lb jumps. Honestly, not a big deal for such a solid machine. Originally I was planning to buy a used commercial machine, but I went with TOG because it’s more compact and much easier to get into a basement gym without a walk-out. I have this and the TOG Pendulum Squat and would highly recommend both. And as always, TOG’s customer service is top notch—they even sent me a free T-shirt after my Pendulum review.
