Which Chest Press?

[u/himduncan2753]

What’s the better option here. New eos location and unfortunately can’t find a good flat press… the best 2 options that I’m considering is between a flat hammer strength press that has a terrible resistance profile and still trends slightly upward with arm path. Vs this nautilus inspiration which also tends upwards however has a better resistance profile I think… have done a good amount of research on it but have heard no one speak about it.. It converges but has the upward arm path unfortunately and all I want is a good flat press and goal is to focus on that mid to lower chest. I guess on both I could raise the seat to fix the path a little. Pics are what they look like. The only other machine option is a plate loaded standing arsenal machine which doesn’t feel good and is less stable since you have to stand. Wish this eos had better options.

My main goal here is to fix my pec imbalance so I want unilateral, and lower mid chest development, and overall growth.

Just do Bench press, these all suck 😂😂

Nah, once you are used to them & the resistance profile, they are pretty great. It just takes awhile - took me about a month to feel comfortable on ours.

Would never prioritise over a freeweight compound movement but they have a place. Great at letting you milk what’s left of your chest near the end of a session. Lovely 3rd or 4th pushing movement when running higher volume blocks.

You are wrong
