Biomechanics & Functionality
-
Converging Press Motion:
Unlike flat linear presses, the converging design follows the natural arc of a human chest press. This increases muscle activation in the chest and reduces stress on the shoulders. -
Unilateral Capability:
Each arm works independently, allowing for unilateral or alternating presses, which can correct muscular imbalances and add functional variety to workouts. -
Fixed Plane Stability:
Provides a safer alternative to free weights while still targeting the same muscle groups with a similar level of intensity and freedom. -
Plate Customization:
Users control resistance by manually loading standard Olympic plates, ideal for progressive overload and personalized training.
🛠️ Construction & Durability
-
Frame:
Constructed from 11-gauge commercial-grade steel, powder-coated to resist rust, corrosion, and heavy wear. -
Bearings & Pivots:
Uses industrial-grade pivot points and sealed bearings to ensure smooth, consistent movement, even under maximum load. -
Grips:
Ergonomically positioned and coated with non-slip rubber for secure handling and better wrist alignment. -
Weight Horns:
Steel weight pegs on both arms to hold Olympic plates securely.
