Looks interesting, never heard of them or seen anyone trying them. Looking forward to seeing how they work for you II.

I'll let you know. I've done all kinds of crazy stuff on a smith like donkeys with the bar across my lower back. This one looks like a piece of cake.

If I was waiting for the lone Smith machine in the gym and some ass clown was doing these I would be pissed. Just use the Hammer Strength machine, looks to be about the same motion.

Lol. If you're WAITING on a smith machine you've got problems to begin with lol. Some gyms are limited. I love HS but don't currently have access to them.

I think the hammer strength lateral machine is a piece of shit to be honest. There is no negative resistance at the top and it kinda jars my shoulders every time I use it...

i don't like it.....not only will the bar leave a bruise (i hate front squats for this same reason), but it's really hard to not involve traps and biceps....this is similar to the nautilus machine movement.......

 

[IronInsanity]

No way these will bruise me lol. And front squats marks go away after a few weeks.

it's all about form with the dumbbells, and yeah i agree with LK, i'd be pissed too if i had to wait for a smith machine for some loser doing these on there.
