Best Chest Machine?

[nziegs11]

Looking at upgrading some equipment and seeing what your favorite flat/seated chest machines are? Pretty happy with my chest fly and incline press but could use an upgrade in this department

My favourite is either the nautilus nitro vertical chest press apart from the stack being too light, but it does have a small footprint and nothing a gym pin can't fix, or the original hammer strength flat press. Only thing with that is needing someone there to kick the blocks away/help get into it

I just tried the m torture chest press from new tech. That thing was amazing.

Flex fitness also made a pin selected incline press back in the day that was amazing too

Atlantis Incline Press, Prime Incline and Horizontal Flat, Flex Leverage Chest Press (Incline and Vertical)
Personally I don't like the new tech one which is Flat and Decline combo.. too heavy in the stretch. The pin loaded one is much better.

Gymleco seated no question


Or the nautilus like Simon said but I would prefer the plate loaded (Xpload)

I have this in my gym and I wanna like it but I just can't seem to set it up right! Something feels off with it, which is a shame because the way the handles come on and the squeeze you get it great.

Hammer Strength ISO Lateral Incline Chest Press. If you are looking cheaper, Matrix makes decent ones.

That HS unit always impressed me. I'd give it my vote just from what I've used. I'm mostly FWs and had a home gym better part of 15 years so I don't get to try much new stuff.

That Gymleco looks nice. Now don't laugh but I tried vertical BP at a planet fitness and I did get a good workout out of it.

Yeah those are solid. Have you tried the plate loaded? They’re solid but price has been pretty inflated on the ones I’ve seen up for sale lately

Would love to try Newtech’s stuff but haven’t had the opportunity yet. I’ve heard good things

This is actually top of my list at the moment, feels great to me

Have you tried any of the newer flex leverage imitations that are coming out? Curious if any hold up to the original.

I love the hammer plate loaded iso incline and decline press machines. For a long time these two and pec deck were my staples.

strive flat chest stack loaded press, love putting the dial to heaviest in the stretch position

My favorite is converging cybex eagle press, awesome conection

 

[comedycentral]

In my home gym I have the nitro and a hammer decline and love them both. Machines are only amazing if they work for you. I had an early plate loaded inc strive and sold it because it killed my shoulder. A very underrated piece is the early life fitness upright chest with the foot bar to start it. Looks basic but great feel. I nearly always use neutral grip as well

Yeah I’ve always enjoyed Hammer as well, the ones I have are built to last

I’ve been getting back into Cybex. I thought there older model with the multi directional arms felt kind of weird but will have to try this!
