The Machine
•
Range of Motion Adjustment - The dual-axis chest
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 are angled to allow opti-
mum average wrist position throughout the movement.
They are in a “barbell” or horizontal position to encour-
age motion in the horizontal plane as well as the optimal
position of neutral shoulder rotation. Vertical or neutral
handles are less effective for chest work as they encour-
age motion in the sagittal plane (shoulder flexion).
•
User Defined Path of Motion - The width of the start
position, the end position, as well as the path of travel
between the two are entirely determined by the user.
The path chosen can be based upon the user’s ability level, goal, fatigue, or structural
limitations (as are often found in the shoulder joint). Options range from the traditional
press to numerous other user friendly options including movement toward midline similar
to dumbbell exercises. Although the dual-axis technology allows freedom within the proper
plane of motion, unwanted motion outside of that plane is safely eliminated by the
machine, allowing all effort to be directed toward the Pectoralis Major.
•
Variable Resistance - A cam provides appropriately varying resistance that is maximal at
the end of the motion where the body’s mechanical advantage increases.
•
Two Directions of Resistance - The dual-axis technology not only provides resistance
against the pressing movement (by pushing back against you) but it can also provide
resistance against adduction (by pushing the hands apart) when the handles are moved
inward from their resting position. By providing two directions of resistance within the
plane of motion pec stimulation is increased and the triceps are de-emphasized.
NOTE: Less weight will be employed when the handles are moved inward due to the
multiple directions of resistance and the increased muscular effort required of the
pectoralis major.
