Muscle D Horizontal Bench Press - PL-P-HBP
The Muscle D Plate Loaded Horizontal Bench Press is a chest press equipment that uses plates to increase pec and tricep size and strength. Similar to utilizing dumbbells, the independently moving handles hold each side accountable and prevent the dominant side from using more force than the other.
At the peak of the rep, the handles' convergent motion draws the hands closer together for better contraction and enhanced pec isolation.
For heavier chest exercises, weight sleeves provide ample space for numerous weight plates to be added. No spotter is necessary. When working out alone, there is no bar to get pinned under because of the open frame design of the Muscle D bench press.
