The Body-Solid Powerline PHG1000X Home Gym features five unique workout stations, allowing for a comprehensive full-body workout. Adjust resistance by adding or removing standard weight plates on the plate-load system, or by utilizing the optional selectorized weight stack.

5.1 Multi-Press Station (Chest Press / Pectoral Fly)

This station allows for chest press variations (flat, incline, decline) and pectoral fly exercises. The patented press arm system functions as both a chest press and replicates the pectoral dumbbell fly.
