Plate Loaded Lay Down Chest Press Machine [Solaris Series]

Lay Down Chest Press

Plate-Loaded Commercial Gym Machine

Utilizing a distinct horizontal pressing angle, the Plate Loaded Lay Down Chest Press Machine from the Solaris Series allows for optimal chest engagement without the assistance of a spotter. With a focus on recruiting the pectoral muscles, this machine offers a stable and supported lay-flat position for a pure chest contraction.

Constructed with durable steel and guided, plate-loaded mechanics, this machine is designed to accurately mimic the flat barbell bench press while providing enhanced safety and control. Its robust build makes it a top choice for gyms, strength facilities, and experienced weightlifters pursuing increased mass and strength.

💪 Pair it with the Solaris Incline Chest Press for full pec coverage.
