"but try bench pressing at an angle 10 degrees either way from the norm and
see what happens."
Change the angle of the bench? Yes but the machine does not replicate the
line of the bench which starts just above your sternum and ends above your
mouth. The bench does not go in a straight line.
To equip a gym you need a bench, squat stand and a bar and discs. Machines
needed, many. Cost that one. My cell phone is a useful device, since the
advent of industrialised machines the list of redundant machines would be
long, just because a machine exists doesn't mean it is useful.
