GMWD Chest Press Machine, 1050LBS Bench Press Machine with Independent Converging Arms, Adjustable Flat Incline Bench for Chest, AB Workouts, Shoulder Home Gym Equipment, V1

I had been eyeballing this piece of equipment for a long time. This has been a fantastic addition to my home garage gym. I no longer am concerned about dropping weights and hurting my floor. I use the bench for other exercises as well. The arms are a little squeaky when you’re using them, but I’ve never had any concern that the machine is going to fail. I’m fairly tall at 6 foot six and I have no issue using this equipment. I have used both the flat and incline settings and they have worked great. I love how the bench folds up and allows for my space to be used effectively. I don’t see the use for the shoulder press Option because I’m so tall. The construction seems robust. And it was easy to put together. For the price you cannot beat this.

Pros:super easy to put together by yourself, though expect about 2 hours of time. Have an adjustable wrench and a socket handy.Sturdy, well made. the range of motion is exactly what i want and is a really unique take on a bench press, far better than the seated ones or using a smith machine. I'm in my 40's and still have the brain of a 25 year old lifter and I like that its a really safe way to lift heavier when i'm solo 285lbs felt stable! I have not tried decline, but really never liked decline benching so I don't think i'll mess with that.It's also very functional for shrugs, which IMO should be called out on the listing! The angle is perfect for them.Lastly it really takes up very little space. By flipping the bench upward it further saves space when not in use. Very small footprint.I'm beyond happy that something like this was available for the price range, and if I elect to add any other piece of equipment, I will be checking this company out.

I already have a good Smith Machine in my home gym, but I find that incline bench presses on the Smith hurt my shoulders (I do perform decline bench presses on the Smith without issues). I purchased this chest press machine from GMWD hoping to continue to build my upper/mid pectorals without injuring my shoulders in the process.Delivery: The machine arrived in perfect shape and I had no issues. It came right to my garage door. The shipping box was robust (heavy cardboard) and well sealed (strapping and heavy-duty tape)- no notable tears or holes.Unpacking: The machine inside of the box was thoughtfully packaged and took mere minutes to unpack and carry to my gym location. No parts were damaged in transit.Assembly: This machine was exceedingly easy to assemble with just a few tools and took me less than one hour in total to assemble (probably closer to 45 minutes). There were no problems - instructions were straightforward.Floorspace: The compact design of the GMWD Chest Press Machine takes up minimal valuable real estate in my home gym. I absolutely love that the full-length padded bench folds up off of the floor when not in use! This feature makes such a huge difference in reducing the machine's footprint - awesome!Quality and Construction: The chest press machine is attractively finished, looks great, and is rigid and sturdy. I am about 6 feet tall and 230lbs; I feel 100% secure while on this machine. There is no wobbling or creaking - solidly built.Using the GMWD Chest Press Machine: The machine is easy to load with weights. Getting under the lift handles is a breeze as they are supported by adjustable arms. The upward converging arc of the lifting arms is smooth and feels natural; I have not experienced any shoulder pain while performing chest presses! I love that I can exhaustively work my pecs without a spotter or any concern that I may aggravate my rotator cuffs. I feel significantly more taxing of my pectorals when performing converging chest presses using this machine versus bar bench presses. I am expecting great results in the coming months!Further, I like the plate storage spindles at the rear of the machine so I can park my weights locally after I finish my chest workout. I look forward to using this machine on chest day!Customer Service: I had a small issue with one of the parts being drilled incorrectly. I messaged GMWD here on Amazon and they promptly got back to me. They went out of their way to replace the part swiftly. They were kind and professional. I received the replacement part, and my chest press machine is now perfect!Value: This machine is a bargain at the current price. It amazes me that I can get a piece of equipment on this level at this price in 2024!!I highly recommend GMWD and this chest press machine.

Delivered sooner than originally stated. Instructions and installation was simple. Anyone can put this together with ease.It is a solid unit so far. Arms are a bit wiggly at first but then settle once lifted. Wish the pad/bench was longer. My head slightly hangs off to properly have the arms positioned. Doing shoulder presses is a bit different; the motion to me feels like I’m pushing out and up on an angle. You don’t push straight up. I don’t like it.Was shipped a different brand name than what was listed on Amazon (only reason why I gave 4-star. There was no communication nor any info written in the description of this machine, that it was not solely their’s and that you could get the partners machine and not theirs). It was not GMWD, but turns out to be their co-partner on this machine, ORMAISE. That was interesting. Customer service response is real quick.All-in-all, it’s a great machine for the cost. Definitely can feel a pump. It’s only been about a month, but it’s holding like it should. Worth a purchase if you are reading this comment and researching.

I nice bench, the converging arms do really make it so much better than my more expensive lever gym that I had previously. If you want a deep chest stretch and a safe no spotter solution, with a great strength curve, without the large rack.. this is a winner on a budget.

This is a good machine for working out solo, I don’t have to worry about getting trapped underneath a bar.The instructions were clear and it took me about an hour to assemble, the welds look decent.I really appreciate the design and it’s really solid for what it is, I’m 6’4 250 and it fits me perfectly.I was able to work out comfortably with this machine, highly recommended
