SportsArt Plate Loaded Wide Chest Press - A978

The SportsArt Plate Loaded Wide Chest Press A978 is a commercial plate-loaded strength machine that targets the chest, front delts, and triceps muscles.

Broader handles spread the load across a larger region of the user's hand, which improves comfort during pressing exercises. The A978 allows for a natural convergent motion that enables more resistance load from the triceps to the chest for better muscle isolation, resulting in increased strength, size, and definition of your pecs. Each presser arm is independent,  preventing any side from using greater force than the other.

The welded heavy-duty steel frame has a sleek appearance created through oval tube steel. Electrostatic powder coating insures the frame finish is scratch-free and ding-resistant for long-term, heavy use. A high-density, molded foam seat and back pad offer greater comfort & durability that complement the spring-assist pull pin adjustable seat to accommodate any user height.

The SportsArt Plate Loaded Incline Chest Press Machine A977 is made for intense, strength training in commercial gyms, fitness centers, hotel workout centers, training studios, and home personal gyms. SportsArt Plate Loaded Series combines quality and value in a simple, easy-to-use strength line designed to accommodate users of any fitness level or experience.
