Every single piece of exercise equipment that exists in this day and age all serve a very specific purpose. Especially if you are looking for a suitable training device, then it is nevertheless difficult to decide on a device. Particularly interesting is the multi-press.
A multi-press is a strength device that can be used to effectively train the chest muscles.

Furthermore, the multi-press or bench press on the machine can be performed flat or at an angle.


A kind of "Swiss army knife"
The multi-press allows one to perform several exercises at the same time and thus not only train very specific muscle parts in contrast to other strength equipment, where specifically only one or two can be trained. A multi-press can be converted in a few simple steps so that you can target a larger number of muscles with the work-out. This means you can definitely train upper arms, chest, shoulders, legs, calves and abdomen with this strength equipment.


The bench press is one of the best known and most popular work-outs on the multi-press. Unlike the simple weight bench, where you need a partner to help you if you run out of strength and can't get the bar up on your own, the multi-press lifts the bar through the guide. This means there is an additional safety aspect and you can bench press alone and without a partner.
