Trap King Peaches :
Matrix is also poor because the pad never sits at a true 180 degree horizontal. It’s always off slightly and the outer leg/glute ends up doing more work. Also, nautilus glute drive is interesting because it lists the max load at 360lb (4 plates/side) but I’ve used 5 1/2 plates per side before.

Maturing in the gym is realizing if something doesn’t feel right… it usually isn’t! 5’2 girlie here and there a few machines I can’t use at all or even find a hack to and that’s ok. I’d rather not get injured forcing it. There’s always an alternate way to target a muscle.

steph :
is there a difference then with gains or really just train to failure always on both = same results/progress?

scoopsmalone :
Your are correct about the matrix machine for short people. However I have made the modification to actually release the lever all the way down and start out in the down position instead of unlocking the bar with the handle. It works better for me being short girlie.
