BODYTEC PLATE LOADED INCLINE CHEST PRESS MACHINE

Load the plates, Build the chest

Engineered for strength floors that demand reliability, the BODYTEC Plate-Loaded Incline Chest Press is built to sculpt the upper chest with biomechanical precision. Iso-lateral arms replicate the freedom of dumbbells while ensuring safety under heavy load. With industrial bearings, premium upholstery, and a converging press path, this machine delivers a powerful incline press that feels as natural as a barbell—but far safer.

  • Heavy-Gauge Frame: Precision-welded steel tubing with wide base for maximum stability.
  • Iso-Lateral Arms: Independent pressing arms allow balanced, natural chest engagement and eliminate strength imbalances.
  • Converging Path Design: Handles move in a natural arc, mimicking free barbell incline press but with controlled resistance.
  • High-Density Upholstery: Sweat-resistant, ergonomically contoured back pad and adjustable seat for correct pressing angles.
  • Plate Horns: Dual chrome-plated weight horns for fast plate loading/unloading.
  • Compact Footprint: Optimized for commercial gyms with high traffic.
  • Durable Finish: Premium powder coating resists chips, scratches, and corrosion.

Biomechanics

  • Movement Path: Inclined press arms follow a converging trajectory that replicates the natural pressing arc of the upper chest.
  • Force Curve: Maximized mid-range resistance, easing at end range to protect shoulders.
  • Joint Safety: Neutral wrist alignment, shoulder-friendly converging motion, and controlled start-stop angles reduce stress on rotator cuff.
  • Stability: Wide base and triangulated frame ensure zero wobble under heavy load.

Types of Exercises

  • Primary: Incline chest press (iso-lateral or bilateral).
  • Variations:
    • Single-arm incline press
    • Alternating arm press
    • Tempo-based incline press (slow eccentric/fast concentric)
    • Isometric press holds

Muscles Targeted

  • Primary: Upper pectoralis major (clavicular head).
  • Secondary: Anterior deltoids, triceps brachii.
  • Stabilizers: Core, scapular retractors.
