Who Makes this Preacher Curl Machine???

[SonofBone]

I'm looking for the name of a plate loaded preacher curl machine that has 3 different places to place the plates. It is made to target load the biceps. Weight on the top position makes the beginning of the range really tough & bottom makes the end tough.

I've not been able to find it online, & I won't be returning to the gym that I found it at. Any ideas? Thx.

Call the gym and ask...might be the easiest way. My gym has a plate loaded preacher curl but not with the different positions. Sounds pretty good though...

Calling is a good idea. My gym has a machine and a plate loaded - but neither has different positions.

I'm sure you'll have a laugh at this. Anyway, the handles and weighted portion move in unison. The diagram on the machine recommends doing each position as a set or a superset...say 5 in the middle, 5 bottom, 5 top, & if you want extra, do 5 w/the middle & bottom simultaneously followed by 5 w/the top & middle.

I called the gym, and they're supposed to call me back...we'll see. Anyway, it is definitely a commercial piece of equipment. I'm guessing it weighs between 2 - 300 lbs. I'm sure my cave drawing is missing several pieces of the structure, but that is the basic shape.

I've never seen it before. My wife was really excited when she saw it. She said she'd used a couple before. I'd say it was a similar feel when super setting to doing 21's. I normally don't like preacher type machines, but this thing rocks.

Also, I'm pretty impressed w/this franchise thus far...24 hour fitness. Some healthy guys and really nice equipment in the two I've been to thus far. These places are mainly in the west and Texas.

Anyway, I'll list the name when they call back.

I've never seen that, but my gym has Strive machines where you can adjust the tension by moving a pin. I always just leave it in the middle though...

[THE BOUNCER]

any idea of what this sucker is called?

[Mr incredible]

great picture lol

I know exactly what you mean, I've used one at an old gym I used to go to. Its like on one setting the weight gets progressively heavier, the other progressively lighter or balanced.

Don't know the name though looks like ww is your best bet, I'm sure she has her camera at the ready LOL

Strive has the best pull-down machine I've ever used as well as an incline press I like. Actually most of their stuff is pretty solid.

I'm not sure that is it. Is that machine a combination of plate loaded and pin selector? The machine I used was plate loaded only.

When I get back in town, I'll go by that place since the fuckers didn't call me back.

i was gonna say, that picture looks nothing like the picture you drew. lol

[sonis9]

hey knuckleheads weight stack that is pin loaded goes to the machine next to it. that machine is it, i will bet my life in it. just a shitty pic, and a bad angle.

if you give it a good slow look...you can see the handles which you would grab with your hands. follow that arm that it is connected to over to the right. then you will see the 3 pin configuration exactly like the picture. you can see the bottom pin clearly. the top two are hidden by the machine itself. then you can see the very top of the arm.

[sonis9]

try this........

LMFAO! I looked at that pic for 10 minutes and I cannot see what the hell you are talking about.
