Overview
The decline press angles the pressing path downward, so the lower fibres of the chest do more of the work and the shoulders do less. Many lifters find it the strongest of the three chest presses, and it lets them handle heavy loads without a spotter.
Like the rest of the Iso-Lateral range, it is plate-loaded with independent arms. We inspect the pivots, grips, seat and back pads and any adjustment mechanisms on used units.
How sourcing works
Many of the best machines change hands when a gym upgrades. Our networking team keeps in touch with gym owners and suppliers so we can look for specific models on your behalf.
