Monster Machines

An interesting bit of information cropped up after our racks / accessories were released.  A lot of coaches appreciated the versatility of the racks, but were from bigger, well funded school or franchise that HAD space to fill up.  They wanted more individual machines.  So these 2 machines, the Incline and Twist, were designed as stand alones that performed the duties of the Monster Incline and Horizontal Arms, respectively.

I feel the more innovative of the 2 is the Twist, which is really 2 of the same subassembly bolted together to mirror each other.  This allows teams on a budget (like High Schools) to buy and use one half, then add the other later.  My favorite thing about this machine is the convenience of loading / unloading weight plates on the arms.  Rather than walk around the machine with weights in your hands before you get to workout, the weights are right there waiting for you,  just slide them off the storage pin and onto the arm’s pin.  In fact, you’re only responsible for the weight for about 6 inches from one pin to the other.  Some may say “but this is weight lifting”.  Yeah, but if you’re training for functional strength, do you want to waste your time & strength carrying weights in a fashion that has nothing to do with what you’re training for, or get busy with your routine?
