Iso-Lateral Wide Chest
The Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Wide Chest is designed to build powerful downward pressing strength in a controlled, upright seated position. Its wide starting position allows for a deep stretch and strong contraction as the converging arms follow a natural pressing path, maximizing chest engagement.
Engineered for versatility, it comfortably accommodates wider athletes while maintaining the independent limb movement Hammer Strength is known for—helping correct imbalances and drive balanced strength development. Whether you're chasing size, power, or pure pressing performance, the Iso-Lateral Wide Chest delivers an unmatched combination of range, stability, and intensity.
Dimensions (L x W x H): 77 in x 45 in x 75 in (195 cm x 114 cm x 189 cm)

Peak Contraction, Every Rep
A narrow press limits chest engagement, forcing you into unnatural movement. The Iso-Lateral Wide Chest opens up your range for a deeper stretch and stronger peak contraction. Unlike free weights that demand stability but don’t guarantee full activation, this machine aligns perfectly with your body to maximize every rep—delivering the ultimate stretch and squeeze without wasted effort.
No Spotter, No Problem
Go harder or go heavier—either way, the Iso-Lateral Wide Chest is built to deliver. Designed to replicate the feel and intensity of a decline barbell press within our plate loaded line, it puts athletes in an upright seated position, providing a strong, stable base for maximum power while reducing lower back strain. Whether you're chasing strength, size, or pure pressing power, this machine is built to perform—no spotter required.

FAQ
Most lifters use a false grip on a barbell because keeping the wrist in a straight, locked position is uncomfortable and can lead to strain. The Iso-Lateral Wide Chest features ergonomically optimized handles that allow for a more natural wrist angle, reducing stress while maximizing pressing power.
The upright seated position offers a stable base to generate maximum force while reducing lower back strain. This setup allows for greater focus on chest, shoulders, and triceps without the common arching and compensation seen in traditional bench presses.
It doesn’t replace it—it elevates it. The Iso-Lateral Wide Chest provides a more joint-friendly, strength-balanced alternative that complements traditional barbell work. It’s an essential tool for anyone serious about pressing performance.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, the Iso-Lateral Wide Chest adapts to your strength level, allowing for controlled progression, muscle balance, and safer heavy lifting—without the technical barriers of barbell pressing.
