The Machine
• Range of Motion Adjustment - The incline press
eliminates the danger of excessive stretch by pro-
viding an adjustable starting position that, when preset
to the individual user’s structure/mechanics, also serves
as a range of motion limit.
• Plane of Motion - The handles move through a very
slight arc angled approximately 30 degrees above the
plane that lies perpendicular to the bench (horizontal to
the body). The handles are angled to allow optimum
average wrist position throughout the movement. They
are in a “barbell” or horizontal position to encourage
shoulder motion through the proper plane as well as the
optimal position of neutral shoulder rotation. Vertical or
neutral handles are inappropriate for pec work as they
encourage motionin the sagittal plane (shoulder flexion).
• Variable Resistance - A cam provides appropriately varying resistance that is maximal at
the end of the motion where the body’s mechanical advantage increases.
• 10 to 305 Pounds by Fives - The top plate provides a minimum weight of ten pounds.
Subsequent plates in the weight stack are twenty pounds each. Three “slide-on” five pound
incremental plates are securely positioned for easy access and effortless addition thereby
providing 10 to 305 pounds in five pound increments.
