HYBRID | Chest Press

When I first used this machine I honestly didn’t like it. I kind of wrote off most selectorized chest presses at that point and just assumed they weren’t for me. Went back and tried it again later and did a complete 180 on it. I love the foot assist, the thick handles, and especially the neutral grip. The neutral grip feels awesome and you can get a really nice convergence at the top of the movement. Like all Prime machines, being able to adjust the cam and change the resistance profile is a huge plus. You can make the movement feel completely different depending on where you want it hardest. Also have a love/hate relationship with drop sets on these because they’re brutal, but the selectorized setup makes them super easy to do. Only slight downside is the weight stack is a little on the lighter side for stronger lifters. Easy S tier for me.

Arguably the best selectorized chest press there is, along with the MedX chest press. Feels amazing, and the foot assist is a major plus for me and something I believe all chest presses should have.

One of my favorite selectorized chest presses. I love the thick tubing on the handles and the pads and angle of the ROM are extremely comfortable. Ability to alter the resistance curve is what makes this better than the competition. Only way it could improve if stack was heavier and had an easier way to hit unilateral.
