chest presses are they affective

Hi Kevin - I am not a trainer but to me the machine enables me to be in a proper position to perform a chest press. I am not one who had done a lot of strength training in the past so the level of resistance provided by the bands was sufficient for me. The clips enable you to use more than one band at a time to increase resistance if you need it to get the maximum benefit from the exercises. I hope this helps.

Yes they are. I have done flat bench, get the head rest part, incline bench, and sitting straight up press. Definitely works ur chest.

I have no experience with the 08, however this one I feel has just the right pressure. I press it harder to the big muscles and apply lighter pressure to the more delicate areas. When I press it real hard to delicate areas, then yes, it does feel like a beating, however in that case you need to go more gentle. Don't put your entire weight on it, prop it around with pillows. I highly recommend it.

It works on massaging all muscles including chest. It has a weight reduction selection but have no idea if it works.

They are not touch sensitive. You have to physically press them. I've never had a problem accidentally hitting them.

I think so, it helped me quite a bit. It makes push-ups a LOT more effective as well. I bought these because I am doing P90X and I was having wrist problems from all of the push-ups.

Do not worry ! It works very well. I use it every day during exercise, it perfectly comes with the chest strap heart rate.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

Yes, to some degree. It also affects the sternohyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles. To what degree depends on the resistance, which is set by the user.

I think they are. I don't incorporate the "pushup burpee" exercise in my regiment, but I have used them for "regular" pushups (for lack of a better term) and they have been sturdy for me.

I use them for pushups. Also using them for situps instead of overhead bar makes the resistance greater.

Not easily. In my opinion, these are only good for arm exercises and sitting set-ups by placing the cord hanger over a door, facing backwards and doing cruches by leaning forward. I don't think you would get much out of trying leg presses.

I use "The Perfect Pushup". But You could for sure use these dumbbells for push ups.

its best just to go ahead and buy rhe weughts made for it while your at it. and no its constricting doing pushups anything but honestly I bought a bcg weightvest from academy and it was just as good if not better.

I don't have a definite answer for you as a customer and what these can do for you. I will say these are rather flat on the back side, that which is against the chest. The ability of the form to cover or wrap the breast may be limited as I have a very flat chest and have no need for that consideration. You may be better off looking at inserts or cup-size enhancers rather than full sized forms to get the effect and size you are looking for.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!

I am not certain but since COPD is also a heart issue I think when we are strengthening our lungs in breathing better we are definitely helping our hearts!
