Best Machines for Chest Day
1. Nautilus Nitro Plus Flat Chest Press
A Le Coach staple. Its converging arms perfectly mimic a dumbbell press while keeping constant tension on the pecs through every inch of movement.
2. Flex Fitness Leverage ‘Iconiq’ Chest Press
Old-school power meets modern engineering. Plate-loaded arms deliver even tension, adjustable positioning and a serious pump without joint strain.
3. Nautilus Nitro Incline Press
Targets the upper chest with biomechanical accuracy thanks to Nautilus’ signature four-bar linkage system. It’s smooth, consistent and joint-friendly.
4. Nautilus Gen 1 Chain-Driven Flat Press
A rare collector’s piece with chain-driven smoothness and a heavy 163kg stack. This one is built for lifters chasing true strength.
5. Keiser Chest Press
Pneumatic resistance offers total control and minimal joint stress. You can adjust intensity mid-rep for drop sets or advanced programming.
6. Life Fitness Pec Dec / Rear Delt
Switch seamlessly between pec fly and rear-delt work. The articulated arms and variable cams give a natural, muscle-matching range of motion.
7. Nautilus Decline Fly
Unique arm positioning hammers the lower pecs while easing shoulder strain. An absolute must-try for balanced chest development.
8. Nautilus Gen 1 10° & 45° Flys
Two angles, two sensations. The 10° version sculpts the mid-chest, while the 45° hits upper fibres for complete definition.
9. Cybex Classic Incline Bench Press Station
Simple, solid and timeless. A barbell favourite that builds pressing power and upper-chest thickness.
