Press bench

Part Number L815

Side storage racks for disks.
3 training positions for the bar for a more varied exercise.
Injected core seat

4 mm thick ST-37 / 40 steel frame
For guaranteed durability
Reliable and durable design with optimized safety and comfort.
Designed under the highest biomechanical standards and based on thorough studies of the anatomy of each muscle and its behavior during exercise. It ensures a range of soft and progressive exercise and a natural, precise and fl uid movement.
Design with lower profile and solid outline.
For a more visually striking and elegant line.
Three layer coating
The design of this professional, up-to-date, stylish system is enhanced still further by its -layer coating comprising an initial anti-corrosion primer, for guaranteed durability, followed by an epoxy powder layer and fin

BENCH PRESS
Lie on a horizontal bench, buttocks in contact with the bench and feet on the floor:
grasp the barbell with an overhand grip wider than shoulder width;
release the multipower safety;
inhale and lower the bar to the chest with a controlled movement;
extend the arms and exhale at the end of the effort.

This exercise engages the complete pectoralis major muscle, pectoralis minor, the triceps, anterior deltoid, the serratus and the coracobrachialis.

Variations:
This movement may be performed while arching the back power-lifter style, this position brings the more powerful lower part of the pectoral muscle into play allowing you to lift heavier weights. However, this variation should be performed with caution to protect the back.
Executing the extension with the elbows next to the body concentrates the work onto the anterior deltoid.
Varying the width of the hands isolates different parts of the muscle: Hands together: the central part of the pectorals; hands apart, the lateral part of the pectorals.
Varying the angle of the barbell isolates different parts of the muscle: lowering the bar to the chondrocostal border; the lower part of the pectorals; lowering the bar on the middle part of the pectorals: the midline fibres; lowering the bar onto the sternal notch: the clavicular head of the muscles.
If you have a back problem or want to isolate the pectorals more fully, perform the extension with your knees bent, thighs touching the chest.
Finally, the exercise can be done at a frame that guides the bar.
