Verticle Bench?

[Spud]

I was wonering if any of you guys use the verticle bench machines. I never really used one, but Im trying to mix things up, and if it is a decent workout Id throw it in my routine. The one at my gym keeps the arms an equal distance apart throughout the range of motion(doesnt come together at peak contraction). Insights?

If anything, I'd use it at the end of the workout as a cool down.

I for one don't really care for machines. I'd stick to free weights.

If you want to switch things up, I would suggest changing bench with a dumbell bench press. I find those machines decent for a warm down at the end of a hard workout with free weights.

I like to use the machine presses when i am doing drop sets cause its easier and faster to just change the pin on the stack than to get up and take weights off of a bar or get new dumbbells.

Other than that, i only use them if the free weight machines are taken and i dont have anything else to do in the meantime.
