A decline feel like no other

The Iso-Lateral Decline Chest Press delivers a smooth, natural motion that enhances performance and comfort. Engineered with biomechanics in mind, it mirrors the body's natural strength curve, delivering a seamless decline pressing experience in an upright, seated position.

Decline Power, Upright Advantage

Experience the benefits of a decline press without lying down. The Iso-Lateral Decline Chest Press follows a natural, downward pressing path, mimicking the mechanics of a decline press while keeping you in an upright, athletic position. This results in greater lower-pec activation, a deeper stretch, and a stronger contraction—without the awkward setup or need for a spotter.

FAQ

Hammer Strength’s Iso-Lateral Decline Chest Press primarily targets the lower portion of the pectoralis major, with secondary engagement of the triceps and anterior deltoids. This intentional design doesn’t just target these muscles; it creates a movement pattern that feels as natural as possible.

Yes and No. Yes, because the machine provides a guided path of motion, ensuring proper form and offering an optimal feel for a decline chest press. Our decline chest press is a great addition to focus on the lower chest while benefiting from the machine's upright, stable design. However, beginners may want to start with a flat chest press to build foundational strength and confidence in pressing movements.

The decline chest press and flat chest press differ in the path of motion and muscle emphasis. The decline chest press features a path of motion designed to target the lower chest while the flat chest offers a path of motion that engages the entire chest evenly for balanced development. Both are valuable for building a strong, well-rounded chest.

Our Hammer Strength Plate Loaded machines are compatible with standard Olympic weight plates, which have a 2-inch diameter hole. This ensures versatility and ease of use, as Olympic plates are widely available and commonly used in most gyms. For optimal performance and to safeguard your equipment, we recommend using our premium 12-Sided Urethane Plates or our Round Urethane Olympic Plates.
