Chest Press Machines for Sale: Flat, Incline, Decline and Multi-Press A chest press machine seats you upright, or lays you flat if it is a bench press machine, and moves the handles along a fixed path, so the load goes through your chest without a bar over your face. That is the whole reason the machine exists: you can take a press close to failure on your own, and you can do it on a day when setting up a barbell is more trouble than the training is worth. The machines here run from single-station presses to multi-press units that cover chest and shoulders from one seat. Chest Press or Bench Press Machine: What the Difference Is The two names get used for the same thing and they are not quite the same machine. A chest press sits you upright, with the handles at chest height and the press going forward. A bench press machine lays you flat, the way a regular bench press does, and the press goes up. Both load the same muscles. Which one suits you usually comes down to whether you are replacing a barbell bench or adding a pressing station to a room that already has one. A multi-press covers both angles and a shoulder press from a single seat, which is why so many of them end up in rooms with one pressing station and no space for three. Incline Chest Press Machines, and When a Decline Earns Its Space Flat is the default and it is what most people are looking for. An incline chest press machine shifts the work toward the upper chest and front delts, and it is the angle most commonly bought second. A decline press machine moves it lower and is the one a home gym almost never needs, which is why the shelf carries far fewer of them. If the room is only getting one machine, a multi-press is usually the better buy than a flat press on its own, because it covers flat, incline and a shoulder press from one seat and one footprint. Where dedicated stations make sense is when you have room for more than one and want each to do its job properly: start with flat, make the second one
