I can't think of any downsides from using this machine in a commercial setting. It's fairly easy to adjust, solid as a rock, and does a great job as a plate loaded chest press. This was one of my go-to machines for pressing movements when I had access to one.

Hammer Strength Plate-Loaded Iso-Lateral Bench Press is a great piece of equipment that is tried and true. It has been around a long time and the fact that it is still around shows the quality of the machine and the movement.

This machine is great. It isn’t the best version of an iso-lateral chest press, but it works well for my body proportions. The seat adjustments and starting position may make it difficult for some to use, but you can always use the old yoga block trick under your butt, behind your back to adjust your body position. Or you can place the blocks under the weight arms to adjust the starting position.

Another “must use” when traveling and hitting my favorite travel gyms. Same massive hammer strength footprint, but it accommodates nearly any size lifter. It’s a great accessory to really drive in the burn. Secondary market prices are back up but if you find a deal and have square footage it’s a solid buy

This machine is great for mimicking a bench press with an arch in my opinion. The handle angle allows you to keep your elbows tucked and really isolate the chest. Ive made some solid gains on this machine
