Maniak Fitness Plate-Loaded Flat Chest Press – Wide Grip

Maximum chest activation with a wide, converging and stable range of motion.

The Maniak Fitness Wide Grip Flat Chest Press is designed to enhance pectoralis major development through a wider and more natural pressing pattern. Its converging path replicates the feel of dumbbell pressing, combined with the safety and stability of a professional plate-loaded machine.

It is the ideal option for those seeking greater stretch during the eccentric phase and an intense contraction at lockout, without compromising control or technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from a traditional flat press?
The range of motion is wider and converging, creating greater pectoral stretch during the eccentric phase and stronger contraction at lockout.

Which muscles does it primarily target?
Pectoralis major, with secondary activation of the anterior deltoid and triceps.

Can it be used unilaterally?
Yes. The independent arms allow each side to be trained separately.

Is it suitable for beginners?
