Plate-loaded decline chest press with a 20° angle, independent converging lever arms, two grip positions and adjustable starting position for professional gyms.

3AX Chest Press – Decline, DUAL & Plate Loaded

The FLAME SPORT 3AX is a decline plate-loaded chest press for professional gyms. The 20° decline training position adds an additional pressing angle to chest training and places greater emphasis on the sternocostal or lower region of the pectoralis major.

Two independent, converging lever arms allow bilateral, unilateral and alternating training. Two grip positions and an individually adjustable starting position complement the guided pressing movement.

DUAL chest press with converging movement

The two lever arms operate independently and can be moved together, individually or alternately. Starting from a wider position, the handles progressively move towards each other during the pressing movement.

Two grip positions

A horizontal and a vertical / neutral grip provide different hand positions. The stainless-steel handles with cross knurling ensure a secure grip.

Adjustable starting position

The starting position of the lever arms can be individually adjusted. At the same time, the selected stop serves as the lower resting position if a repetition cannot be completed.

 

Plate Loaded for professional gyms

The machine complies with the requirements of EN ISO 20957-1:2013, EN ISO 20957-1:2005, usage Class S (STUDIO).
The heavy-duty steel frame construction is designed for long-term commercial gym use.
Frame and upholstery colours as well as available frame and weight plate holder options can be selected for made-to-order production.

 

Frequently asked questions about the 3AX Decline Chest Press

Which muscles does the 3AX train?

The primary target muscle is the pectoralis major. The decline pressing position places greater training emphasis on the sternocostal or lower chest region. The triceps and anterior deltoids assist the movement.

Why does the chest press have a 20° decline?

The decline position changes the pressing angle compared with flat and incline chest presses, providing an additional loading variation for chest training.

Decline, Flat or Incline – what is the difference?

The main difference is the pressing angle. Incline places greater emphasis on the upper chest region, while Decline involves the sternocostal or lower region to a greater extent. Flat represents the horizontal pressing variation.

What is the difference compared with free-weight decline bench press?

With the 3AX, the movement path is guided by the lever mechanism. During free-weight bench pressing, the weight must additionally be stabilised. The independent lever arms of the 3AX still allow each side of the body to be trained separately.

Can the 3AX be used one arm at a time?

Yes. Both lever arms operate independently, allowing bilateral, unilateral and alternating training.

Which weight plates are compatible with the 3AX?

As standard, the 3AX is designed for 50 mm weight plates. Each lever arm has its own weight plate holder.

Does the 3AX need to be anchored to the floor?

No. The machine is designed for stable free-standing installation. Floor anchoring can be provided on request.

Can the 3AX be individually configured?

Yes. Frame and upholstery colours can be selected. Different frame versions and weight plate holder options are also available.

What is the difference between a flat, incline and decline chest press?

The main difference is the pressing angle and the resulting training emphasis within the chest musculature. All three versions primarily train the pectoralis major, but place emphasis on different regions:

1AXX Flat Chest Press: The pressing movement is largely horizontal. It represents the classic chest press variation and trains the pectoralis major through a central, balanced pressing angle.

2AX Incline Chest Press: The upward pressing angle places greater emphasis on the clavicular or upper region of the pectoralis major. The anterior deltoids are also more involved in the pressing movement.

3AX Decline Chest Press: The 20° decline training position changes the pressing angle downwards and places greater emphasis on the sternocostal or lower region of the pectoralis major.

The 1AXX, 2AX and 3AX therefore do not replace one another, but provide different pressing angles for versatile chest training.
