A public reference cataloguing field-measured specifications for obscure and discontinued strength-training machines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Iron Archive organizes specialized strength-training equipment by machine, brand, and gym, with search and contribution paths visible from the homepage. Its four listed entries span Atlantis, Cybex, Panatta, and Westside Barbell equipment, and the displayed fields include starting weight, leverage ratio, and muscle emphasis. Contribution records add provenance: one named contributor is credited with four machines, four sightings, and three documents. The homepage does not expose the underlying measurements themselves.
