Product Overview
The BUILT Strength Throwback Series Vertical Chest Press is a commercial-grade plate-loaded chest press designed with converging press arms that follow a natural inward pressing path. The converging movement provides a distinct pressing pattern while supporting controlled chest engagement throughout the exercise.
An adjustable back pad allows users to customize the starting position and range of motion, while independent seat, back pad, and roller adjustments help accommodate different body sizes. Low-mounted weight horns make plate changes convenient, and oversized handles with contoured pads provide a comfortable and supported setup during pressing movements.

Converging Press Arms
The press arms travel inward as they extend, creating a converging pressing path rather than a fixed parallel movement. This provides a distinct chest-pressing pattern and allows the hands to move closer together toward the end of each repetition.
Adjustable Back Pad — Variable Start & Range of Motion
The adjustable back pad allows users to change the starting position and overall range of motion. This provides flexibility when setting the desired pressing depth and establishing a comfortable setup based on individual body proportions.
Fully Adjustable Seat, Back Pad & Rollers
The seat, back pad, and rollers can each be adjusted to help accommodate different users. These independent adjustment points make it easier to establish consistent positioning and alignment before each set.
Low-Mounted Plate Loading
The weight horns are positioned low on the machine for convenient plate loading. This setup provides easy access to the resistance plates and helps streamline weight changes during busy training sessions.
Oversized Handles & Contoured Pads
Oversized handles provide a larger contact surface for the hands, while contoured pads support the body during the pressing movement. Together, these features create a stable and comfortable setup for loaded chest training.
