Legend Fitness Unilateral Converging Incline Chest Press (NEW)

Perhaps one of the most important design features of the Legend single sided presses is that the user never needs a spot to perform a safe lift. Each machine is equipped with spring-loaded lever stops that allow the user to safely reset the press arms at any time, which is especially important when going to failure. And because the initial lift follows the same path of motion as each rep, the user never puts the shoulder joint at a compromising angle at any point in the exercise.

The 6002’s arms help to mimic free weight training with both converging and unilateral movement. The converging movement allows the grip to start wide and end with the hands closer together at the top of the exercise. This allows for a more intense contraction of the upper pectoral muscles. The unilateral movement forces each side of the chest to be independently responsible for lifting the weight. This prevents the dominant side from leaving the weaker side behind. As the two grips are completely independent, it also opens up the possibility of performing alternating incline chest presses for added training versatility.
