Technogym Pure Strength Chest Press – Delivery Europe

The Technogym Pure Strength Chest Press is the gold standard for heavy, plate-loaded chest training. As part of the Pure Strength line, it is designed to bridge the gap between free weights and machines, offering the “raw” feel of a barbell bench press with the added safety and superior biomechanics of a guided lever system.

This machine is a staple in professional athletic facilities and “hardcore” bodybuilding gyms due to its high weight capacity and rugged durability.

Technical Specifications

• Type: Plate-loaded strength machine (uses Olympic plates).

• Target Muscles: Pectoralis Major (Chest), Anterior Deltoids (Shoulders), and Triceps.

• Movement Pattern: Convergent path of motion, where the handles start wide and move toward the center as they are pushed. This follows the natural arc of the pectoral muscles for a peak contraction.

• Independent Arms: The arms move separately, allowing for unilateral (one-arm) training and ensuring that the dominant side doesn’t compensate for the weaker one.

• Weight Capacity: Designed to handle extremely heavy loads, often supporting over 200 kg (440 lbs) of total weight.

• Foot Start Lever: Features an easy-to-reach foot pedal that brings the handles forward to a comfortable starting position. This is a critical safety feature that prevents shoulder strain when beginning a heavy set.

• Grip Options: Large, knurled handles provide multiple grip positions (horizontal and neutral) to target different areas of the chest.

• Adjustable Seat: High-density foam seat with a simple adjustment mechanism to ensure the handles are aligned with the mid-chest.

• Dimensions: 150 cm × 120 cm × 168 cm (59″ × 47″ × 66″).

• Product Weight: 164 kg (361 lbs) without plates.
