Iso-Lateral Chest / Back

With independent, unilateral motion, it ensures balanced development for both the chest and back, making it a perfect addition to any athlete’s training regimen and any facility’s floor.

Dimensions (L x W x H): 78 in x 54 in x 90 in (198 cm x 137 cm x 229 cm)

Weight: 390 lb (176.9 kg)

FAQ

The Chest Back machine closely mimics movements of the Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Front Lat Pulldown and the Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Incline Press.
