I'm in love... with the seated side deltoid machine.

That machine works awesome. If your machine has one give it a try. It keeps a constant tension on your side delts and its a great way to isolate them.

Free weights are better than machines.

that sounds good man, lately ive been looking for a good lateral deltoid exercise cuz nothing seems to work

and ive been growing to hate side dumbell raises (maybe because of the above)

2 bad my gym doesnt have one, sounds like a really good machine
try to see if you can get me a pic maybe i can recommend it to them

I think the machine works well if your arms are the right length and stuff. I personally don't like it.

well in some cases maybe but i think they are 2 different things and shouldnt be really compared. Each has its advantage (but i still base my workouts around free weights though )

anyway i did a search and this is what i came up with http://www.changingshape.com/exercis...ulderraise.asp

looks good, is yours like this?

Hammer Strength Side Delts kick ass bud. I do three tripple drop sets as the second or thrid exercise for almost all my shoulder workouts.

I have that at my gym. Its good, but I much rather do standing side lateral raises with dumbells, but i guess to each his own.

Yeah that's what it looks like. Imagine the possibilities of using it at the end of a superset or shoulder workout for burnouts... its amazing.

You do have to adjust the seat or pads--I had to lower the seat before the pads would feel right on my arms. At first it would slide and feel really unnatural.

looks like junk why would u use that over dumbells?

I've used dumbbells all my life.. I just think that machine's one of the better ones out there. I find with normal lateral raises it's hard to use strict form, and when you do it seems like you're using light weight. :-/ Incorporate all the different exercises/machines into your workout and you're undoubtedly gonna develop well!
