Dependent Movement - The VR1 dependent motion offers a feeling of security to new and average users. By having both arms working together in a fixed plane, the overhead press exercise feels better controlled for a comfortable and secure training movement.

Linear Path of Motion - VR1 path of motion is linear which is the familiar look and feel that users feel comfortable with.

Start Adjustment - Seat height adjusts for user height which allows taller users a wider grip. The seat adjustment also ensures that the preset range of motion is never exceeded.

Counter-Balanced Take-off weight - Overhead press machines are typically extremely heavy and the take-off weight of the pressing arm assembly in addition to the weight selected is often more than deconditioned users can lift. CYBEX engineering counter-balances the additional weight of the pressing arm assembly so that the user is lifting only the actual weight selected.

Grips - Dual grips provide a barbell grip as well as neutral grip favorable for individuals with compromised shoulders. The grips are angled to provide a neutral wrist position.
