Side Bends can easily be performed on this machine as well simply by graping one of the lower handles with arm straight and moving away from the handle far enough to allow a stretch in the side while bending without the weight stack touching.
Negative only Shoulder Press can be performed on this machine as well, without the need for an assistant. This is done by kneeling on a pad in the front of the machine. Squat down with arms straight and get under the weight. Keeping arms straight, raise you butt back up until back and upper legs are parallel. Then begin lowering the resistance by bending the arms while keeping the back and upper legs rigid with no movement. When weight stack touches, immediately squat down again, straighten arms, then lift weight to top position again by lifting butt upward until upper thighs and back are straight again.
