The Machine
•
Range of Motion Adjustment - The seat adjustment of
the dual-axis overhead press serves to determine start
position and as a range of motion limit.
•
Plane of Motion - The handles are angled to allow opti-
mum average wrist position throughout the movement.
The “barbell” or horizontal position encourages motion
in the frontal plane (abduction). The neutral or parallel
handles encourage motion in the sagittal plane (flex-
ion). Motion in the sagittal plane (pressing in the front)
is considered more functional and safer for the overhead
press and is just as (if not more) effective for stimulation
of the desired muscles.
•
Variable Resistance - A cam provides appropriately
varying resistance that is maximal at the end of the
motion where the body’s mechanical advantage
increases.
•
User Defined Path of Motion - The width of the start position, the end position, as well as
the path of travel between the two are entirely determined by the user. The path chosen can
be based upon the user’s ability level, goal, fatigue, or structural limitations (as are often
found in the shoulder joint). Options range from the traditional press to numerous other user
friendly options including movement toward midline similar to dumbbell exercises.
Although the dual-axis technology allows freedom within the proper plane of motion,
unwanted motion outside of that plane is safely eliminated by the machine, allowing all
effort to be directed toward the deltoids. This freedom is ideal for those users who have
special limitations or discomfort with traditional press machines as they are able to select a
pain free and unrestricted path of travel.
•
Two Directions of Resistance - The dual-axis technology not only provides resistance
against the pressing movement (by pushing down against you) but it can also provide
resistance against the inward motion at the top (by pushing the hands apart). By providing
two directions of resistance within the plane of motion deltoid stimulation is increased and
the triceps are de-emphasized.
NOTE: Less weight will be employed when the handles are moved inward due to the
multiple directions of resistance and the increased muscular effort required of the deltoids.
