Power Press

Solid standing chest press that well built and enough handles it will fit almost everyone

Trained with this quite a bit for a strongman competition. I really like this movement and if I had room for it in my gym it would be really cool to have.

Fun machine but very overrated. Not very adjustable, forced to use pre set handles at a set position. I much prefer the elite fts standing chest press as it's fullly adjustable with many options for pad angle / handle adjustments

I purchased the Dynabody Power Press in early 2025 and it was gone in December. I wanted to love this thing. Big Mike at Carolina Fitness Equipment/Dynabody was incredible to work with and customizing the equipment was very easy. But for the price out the door with shipping, I just couldn't recommend it. Part of this is due to the way that the machine works, and part of it is due to my inability to use it as intended. I'll start with the design flaw, which is that in order to get a good stretch when you are pressing, you have to start behind you when pushing the weight and that is uncomfortable and could lead to injury at maximal weights. The machine needs to have a push off with your foot in front to get the weight into place. That alone kept me from being able to use it how I wanted. Additionally, the powder coat comes off the weight horns immediately when you put a plate on it the first time. That's picky bullshit maybe, but for $4k, you should have some sort of chrome/stainless weight horn. It just starts to look ugly off the bat and I'm not a fan of that. The bigger issue, however, is that I could not use the machine without having to flare out my elbows, which created shoulder strain - exactly what I wanted to avoid when purchasing this machine. This, more than anything, rendered it unusable. I'm a regular sized dude - 5'10" with normal proportions. If my shoulders were wider, this would not have been a problem. But I just couldn't make it work. And it takes up a good chunk of real estate in a garage because both sides of the machine as well as the front and back need room for loading plates/getting into place. Just not a good choice for this brochacho. I took a bath selling it, but that's on me, not on Dynabody. This is the right piece for someone who's not me.

This is my favorite standing chest press that I have ever used. Elite strength curve heaviest in the start and very overall humbling. A lot of the other standing chest presses I feel are to narrow. This is built for bigger bodies I love it. Love Love Love.

Not a piece to get if you are short on space, but it’s amazing if you have room and are serious about bench. The only knock I have is that the motion actually allows the weight to get lighter as you press off bottom. So it’s a great bottom half builder as is. For lockout work, we throw heavy bands from an unused handle, around the back, and on to another handle. Problem solved! Pretty tough to find second hand but it hits either extreme or people knowing what they have or not. Pray for the second!
