I call this cylinder Type I.  It works very well on the Leg Press.  After comparing the $355 kit from ES to add two cylinders to the leg press I think this one cylinder actually performs better at significanly less cost. 

In our clubs we have found this cylinder works on the leg press, Glute and Squat.

The charateristic of this cylinder is approximately a 60/40 split on the resistance.  This means about 60% of the resistance is felt as the cylinder moves out and about 40% as the cylinder moves in. 

I call this cylinder Type II.  It works on the Shoulder Press and can be adapted with a blocking bar for the Ab Back

This cylinder is a true 50/50 cylinder meaning there is equal resistance in both directions. 

The Shoulder press uses two cylinders.  I recommend owners start with one Type II cylinder and one of the the current old ones.  If there is a desire for more resistance then add a second Type II. 

Cylinder Recomendations 

 I have received many questions about which cylinder to use on which machine.  Listed below are my recomendations that will give your machines the best resistance for the workout. 

Note that the Standard Gabriel can be used on ALL machines. 

Higher resistance cylinders are machine specific.  On some double cylinder machines you can get away with replacing one cylinder if using a higher resistance cylinder.  See the recommendations below.  This will not cause an lop sided performance or other problems.
