Converging Chest Press User’s Guide
The Converging Chest Press trains the muscles involved in upper body pushing
movements, including the pectoral muscles and triceps. Strengthening these
muscles will help exercisers become more efficient in sports such as
swimming or American football, and in daily activities such as pushing yourself
up off the ground or opening a door.
