Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from a traditional flat press?
The range of motion is wider, resulting in greater chest stretch during the eccentric phase and more activation at the end of the movement. It’s an ideal complement to close-grip or incline pressing.

Which muscles does it work?
Mainly the pectoralis major, with secondary activation of the anterior deltoid and triceps. The wider grip emphasizes the chest more, reducing arm involvement.

Can it be used unilaterally?
Yes. The arms are independent, allowing one-side training to improve neuromuscular coordination and correct imbalances.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. The guided path prevents technical errors and allows safe training even with heavier loads.

Does it take up a lot of space?
It has a robust yet fairly compact design given its functionality. Perfect for dedicated chest training areas or strength zones.
