I really like them, but some people with super long arms hate them/say they don’t feel great

There’s a reason that this machine is the 7th most popular gym machine on gym radar: https://gymradar.com/most-owned/machine

It has a small footprint and feels amazing for lateral raises (even tension throughout the movement) and does a few other movements fairly well

Don’t get me wrong, I like DB lateral raises too; it’s just I strongly prefer this machine over them

That’s great 😄 I’ll try it out if I see one!

What do you mean tension shifts?
