I was using the machine for shoulder presses as sort of a crutch. After yesterdays workout, which also included some rotator cuff work my shoulders were not feeling very stable but I still wanted to get some presses in today without worrying too much about my form.
IMO, i'd ditch the hammer strength and just ditch the presses all together when your shoulders are feeling iffy. i've heard bad things about using their shoulder machines b/c of the anatomy of the shoulder. That's just my opinion. I like some of their other machines though.
