    The adjustable footplate, adjustable 35-45 degree angle certainly are unique features not found on any other linear leg press.

    That icon is not a good pic...

    Anyone here have any experience with an Atlantis P-441 Flat Converging Chest Press? I might trade for an older one at the beginning of next month. Also, anyone know who to contact about their replacement decals and their rubber weighthorn bumpers ? I sent an email and got one back about their closest rep getting ahold of me. Here are a couple pics of it. Any info would be awesome.

    Cool old bench from them. I wonder if they got that idea from Nebula back then about 12-15 years ago. Can you adjust the prestretch like the nebula?

    That what you have is already a very old model. It is not really like the current model


    http://www.atlantisstrength.com/en/p...ng-chest-press






    The newest version seems significantly superior in my opinion. (I'm also not seeing any prestretch adjustment, like the Nebula.)


    And of course, my favorite of all:

    http://www.atlantisstrength.com/en/p...ng-bench-press


    The adjustable flat decline does all of that and much more.

    Not sure what you are considering trading ... what are you considering?

    That bench is at least two generations back in the Precision plateload series and maybe three. Raising the seat would be the only way to adjust it if it has any adjustment at all.

    Yeah, the bench raises to adjust the pre stretch. And that Flat/Decline would be my first choice for sure but I like the square tubing way more. Actually, I cant stand the look of oval tubing. Global Fitness had one a couple monts ago for 850 bucks but I couldnt spend the cash then and I dont think they have it anymore. The guy I bought my Lat Pull from yesterday said he wants to trade my Power-Lift bench for that Chest Press. He has a Hammer Strength Incline Press also so I might try em both head to head and trade for the one I like better. Ive seen the Hammer and its alot cleaner, but I would really like to somewhat refurbish that Atlantis.

    Pretty funny you posted a pic of that MedX add on adapter cause Im currently building one for my Body Masters functional trainer. I thought I was pretty clever cause Ive never seen one like that, but, I guess not! My question about it though is, does it cock the stack at all or cause any weird tension on the guide rods? I should be done with mine this weekend and Ill post pics of it. I tried to design it in a way that might minimize that effect.

    Waiting on you to post pictures of your custom weight add-on adapter. I remember you welded up a dip attachment for your rack. It was a top notch workmanship.

    Thats very funny you posted that cause I worked on it a little today. Been so super busy lately I havent touched it in who knows how long, probably before I posted about it. I still gotta add a support gusset behind the weighthorn and itll be complete. Then really clean it up cause it looks like total sh!t still, but, thats what in progress fab work looks like. Looking at the first pic, it looks like a cooky design, but when you see how it fits into the machine, it makes perfect sense. I really took the time to get all my dimesions perfect too. My only issue with it, is that it does put a little bit of tension on the guiderods. But, we'll see in time what it does.

    I've got great news! I will be moving my gym to a new larger location this fall. It's about 700ft2 more useable gym floor space, and has larger change rooms and office/counter area. It's a better location in town on a busy street next to the post office and grocery store. Downfall is it is another basement, upside is that it has higher ceilings, better lighting, less water issues, air conditioning, proper ventilation, and.... A freight elevator!!!! I'm not going to have to pack things downstairs anymore!

    The extra space is just enough to round out my equipment choices and after cutting a few pieces that are under utilized it should have more spacing between equipment. I've got a **** load of work to do over the next couple of months, but I should be worth it.

    Or maybe get lower height rubber bumpers or cut them down

    What do you guys think of this calf machine? I've never tried this model.



    I used to have one of these promaxima machines, which was perfect for my long legs. I foolishly let someone talk me out of it

    If you like the Hammer calf machine, the Power-Lift is essentially a better version of it. Again, same design team, better product, better biomechanics, better features than Hammer. As you can tell, the Power Lift version comes from the same design team, and uses 3x4" 7 gauge, compared to Hammers anemic 2 x 3 x 11 gauge.

    I have gone through a few calf raises and fell in love with this one when I got it. It will take a special calf raise to get me to trade this one out. I highly recommend it.
    Nothing is impossible.

    I really like my hammer seated calf. Never thought of it as anemic or weak. But I'm sure that th power lift would be awesomer, lol. Get a good price on the used hammer and I don't think you can go wrong. Cost no object, look at the power lift or elite fts which has plate storage too.

    As expected it looks great. I wonder if three rod design would reduce or spread out tension on the guiderods.

    The problem is side loading. It doesn't matter how many pins at on, the weight is pulling from one side. The ideal setup would be a top plate with a weight horn on each side loaded equally, or even chains draped over the top of the stack. I'm certain that bands could work very well too.

    Hey HealthNutMD

    I just found this thread and gonna start reading it more, I have a chance at getting an Atlantis pivot press, probably about 10 years old roughly, what would be a good purchase price for it?

    I wish I would have seen this thread before, I've been purchasing all Atlantis pieces for my home gym, roughly have about 25 pieces or so, I never thought of purchasing single pieces from different brands

    Thanks for your help!

    I have the price list for Power Lift, I will post it later. Its $1999.00 for most of the pieces, and that is MSRP. You can get a discount as well. Thats what is so great about it... For example, Its essentially the same price as the Hammer, but over 2X as heavy, and better biomchanics, options, and prestretch...

    Obviously Power lift does not make as many models as Hammer, but the ones that they do are awesome... that is why I am going to visit Power-Lift, to demo the entire line.

    Other than the leg press, the majority of pieces are 1999.00 minus discount. I'll post this stuff when I get time.

    Depends on the condition... I'd say $1000-$1900 depending on the condition for a 10 year old piece. That particular machine should last 100 yrs without any maintenance issues.

    $2,200 is sort of ridiculous. Even if the unit is in mint condition, for being 10 years old your offer was more than fair.

    The new pads I designed for the Nebula chest and low row are coming from Nancy this week, Thursday or Friday.

    I am sending out one of the Stainless steel landing pad stems (shoulder, chest, incline chest) to Bryce from Reflex today, I want to make new stainless steel stems, better than the original as follows:


    a) 2" x 2" square stainless steel tubing, 7 gauge, but prefer even thicker steel due to desiring the holes closer together, One thought would be to weld an additional smaller strip of 7 gauge inside the front that has the pop pin holes... Like when I build subwoofers, I use a double thickness of wood where the subwoofer mounts to... we could use an additional single strip of stainless along the inside of the pop pin side...

    b) The total length of the landing pad is a little over 10.5".. its basically a 10.5" length of square 2" x 2" plus the thickness of the top landing section.

    c) The holes are spaced at 1" intervals, however, the entire goal of this project is to get those holes as close together was possible. If possible, I would like to get the holes spaced at 0.5" I realize this leaves very little steel between the holes, which is why I am suggesting greater than 7 gauge, or putting an additional 7 gauge strip welded to another just for the pop pin hole side.





















    I love these Nebula machines, so I am going to completely max out the design, better than the originals

    I love that leg press, its probably my overall number one favorite leg press if I had to pick. I think your offer is reasonable, but if that piece is in excellent condition, 1700-1800 is still in that reasonable range. If that piece is in excellent condition, you could always offer $1600 as your final offer.

    I received a quote on a new Atlantis Pivot Press for $2,695 w/out shipping. Shipping from Canada is what killed me. Justin, since you live in Canada shipping would be much cheaper. With that being said, for her to ask $2,200 for that piece is a joke.
