SHUA SH-G8912 Converging Chest Press (89 Series Plate Loaded)
The SHUA SH-G8912 Converging Chest Press is a premium, full-commercial strength machine belonging to the elite 89 Series Plate Loaded line. It is specifically designed to provide a highly effective, biomechanically accurate motion for targeting the chest muscles (Pectoralis Major).
This machine utilizes a **converging movement** path, which mimics the natural movement of a dumbbell press by bringing the resistance arms closer together at the peak contraction. This specialised motion helps to maximise muscle fibre recruitment and deliver a superior training experience compared to standard chest press machines.
