In this section, you'll find detailed answers to common queries about chest press machines that will help you understand their usage and benefits.
When you use a chest press machine, it primarily targets your pectoralis major muscles. Secondary muscles involved include your triceps brachii and anterior deltoids.
A chest press machine focuses on the pressing motion that activates your chest, shoulders, and triceps. In contrast, a chest fly machine isolates the chest with a horizontal adduction motion, placing less emphasis on the triceps.
Incorporating a chest press machine into your exercise routine offers a stable platform for consistent resistance and is effective in building upper body strength and toning. It also allows for targeted muscle engagement with reduced risk of injury.
An inclined chest press places more emphasis on the upper pectoral muscles and shoulders, while a flat chest press more evenly targets the entire pectoral area. The inclined position alters the angle of resistance, engaging different muscle fibres.
Using a chest press machine can be a substitute for dumbbell chest presses as it offers controlled movement that may benefit beginners or those with injuries. However, dumbbells allow for a greater range of motion and stabilisation.
When choosing a machine for chest exercises, consider the adjustability for different body sizes. Also, look at the range of motion it allows and the ability to change weights easily. Ensure the machine is well-constructed for durability and safety.
Product quality appears excellent. On time delivery, but tracking went off after about day 4.
Tristram’s enthusiasm great, but tends to be overly so.

This treadmill is exactly suited to my purpose, which is controlled brisk walking to strengthen muscles and also to improve balance. It is very manageable, easy to assemble, and takes up minimum space. I purchased this treadmill for medical reasons, and would recommend it to anyone who is elderly and wishes to exercise to their own personal ability within the safety of their own home.

Thankyou so much for this treadmill. I absolutely love it and so glad this is the one I chose. Thankyou for great customer service and delivery was very quick. I only had to assemble 3 screws as the rest was assembled. I would buy this again and again. Probably not perfect for someone really tall that wants to rum. I am 5 foot and there is heaps of room for me to walk and jog comfortably.
Hi Tristram sorry for the late response however the rower arrived only the day before we left on a month's holiday, however the rower is up and running. I am very happy with the whole exercise, the unit arrived within the time frame, it was easy to assemble and I am very pleased with the operation. I am 79 now I look forward to using it, all the best with the venture keep up the good work. Jeff Craigie
