Can anyone tell me where your body is supposed to be positioned when you use this press? In other words, if looking straight down, what do you see?

That is an important question but I do not know, I cannot find this information. How and where you are positioned over the board while working out would make a big difference on what muscles you are working on. If you are high up on the board, you would be working on different muscles than if you were positioned lower down. Hopefully someone else can answer this? Edit 3/6/2015...Wow, still no answers, it looks like no one knows, not even the manufacturer!

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me. P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

The bar posts are in a bad spot for a bar. You have to grab the bar wide, and bring your hands in to a more natural position. Then spread your hands outside/inside of the rests to put it back down. I do dumbell presses on this bench, it works great for those.

Its not preset. It can point upwards quite a lot. Pointing downwards is limited e.g., if you are sitting on floor in front of it, the air touches the top part of your body.

The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table. Since I am about 6'2" I usa it at 6'1" and it is pretty well balanced. When I lean back onto the back rest it will be almost perfectly balanced. From there, you just need to pull a slight amount on the hand rest and it will invert for me. You may need to use a different setting because of your body distribution of weight. Also, the first few times I used it it was "weird" to feel yourself being turned upside down. You will get a blood rush to your head, but it will not bother you once you use it a few times. This is how it worked for me, I hope you have as good luck as I did. I really like this thing,,,,,,,I hope this helps. Jim The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

Answer is from my review......The directions were clear....line up the top and simply "snap" on...right! Being > 70, my arm strength is not what it once was, and no way was I going to be able to "snap" that top on. Took what looks like a short croquet mallet from my husband's workbench (head is about 2" round, and made from something other than metal....have no clue what its real purpose is), lined up the top correctly, covered it with a towel to avoid marks, and "tapped" it....to no avail. So, I whacked it above each appropriate spot...and I do mean whacked. Cover and trash can survived without a mark....and cover works perfectly.

I am sitting at the monitor right now. Grabbing one side to adjust it is relative easy, but I agree with one of the other responders, making the adjustment is safer with 2 hands.

Rigid...with little squares across the entire press. I love this press...have used it often, and am careful to dry it well before I store it in plastic sack in my kitchen drawer. I clean the bottom after each use with a nylon scrubbie!

You don't... There is nothing on this press that indicates how much pressure you are applying. I just go by resistance and how much whey is being released.

I found it to be a bit stiff, Take your thumb and rest it on the top of the most up right punch with your hand around the neck, push forward with your thumb till it moves and keep going till it clicks. FYI push firmly.

There are 3 hole choices on one half of the paddle that the button on the other half fits into when you hook your paddle halves together. The middle position will have the paddles set at the same angle on each half. I usually paddle with the center position but if you were paddling against wind or a current or something like that you might try to offset the paddles so that you have more dig on one side than the other? I'm not totally sure about the reason & I'm just guessing. Someone else with more experience may have a better answer for us. I'd like to know the expert answer too.

Boy, do I have the same problem. Did you ever figure this out? I'm afraid to push too hard. Do you go right to left?

I placed my mirror so that when I look into it my whole face is in the mirror. I too use it for the back of my hair and I find that this position works just fine. From time to time I may tilt it down just a bit. Hope this helps.

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

Slightly forward. I watched a YouTube video on making my adjustments. Just google "how do I adjust my saddle stool?" And see if it comes up.
