Question 1

Does it work your lower chest?  Does it strengthen your forearms and wrists?

Accepted Answer

I hope so.  After my workouts with the Python, I have primarily experienced soreness primarily at the inside of my pecs & in my wrists & forearms.  I'm inexperienced with exercise equipment, but I can say that with the Python, it's easy to get angles that end up working the shoulders & delts.  But with some experimentation, I've been able to target my chest better than with any other exercise I've tried so far.

Question 2

How do you hold this to exercise the chest?

Accepted Answer

Hold it out with arms straight and use it,it's a bit awkward until you can handle it right. Move it in closer to your chest and it will work different muscles that way. I noticed a difference in about a week. I do about 30 reps rest do 30 to 35 more then rest and then I max out as many as I can you will feel the burn. I slowly release it before I bend it again it keeps resistance and gives better results. I start closer to my chest after straight arm. You can hold it over your head and work your shoulders I do the same reps as my chest and I can tell the results. I also noticed that standing with your legs a little past shoulder length has built my thighs up and my beer gut is even being worked and now I can see the top muscles that make up a sixpack starting to show some. I go two to three days then rest one and start over. I am on no diet,yet, and still have been losing weight and shrinking my stomach. I found a diet i am going to try that you do for 7 days and they say you can lose 10 pounds but no exercises during the 7 days. You will be very happy with this item I am very glad I bought it.

Question 3

What's the max resistance?

Accepted Answer

The Max Resistance is: 100 lbs. with both hands on the inside. However be aware that it really is: 50 lbs. each hand * 2 hands = 100 lbs. total. Not 100 lbs. each hand like I thought it would be!   So if you are doing curls it is only 50 lbs. each hand...

Question 4

My question is if your doing flys for chest is the 80lbs 40lbs of resistance per arm or 80lbs of resistance per arm?

Accepted Answer

If you move your hands closer to the spring the resistance is highest, probably 80 each arm.  Farther out towards the end it would be the lowest.
