Are you ready for a killer chest workout no matter where you are? Look no further than SmartPress! This equipment features 6 short elastic bands connected to a foam frame, offering an impressive total resistance of 175 LBS (80 KG).
SmartPress is meticulously designed to target and engage your chest muscles. From Chest Press to Chest Flies and weighted Push-Ups, it overcomes three common limitations of these exercises with resistance bands:
- Feel the resistance from the beginning of the movement and get a faster muscler engagement, courtesy of the shorter bands.
- Secure the bands behind your back without any risk of injury, thanks to the comfortable foam frame.
- Quick and hassle-free setup, as there is no need to manipulate the bands to shorten them.
SmartPress is made up of 6 short resistance bands, providing a total resistance of 175 lbs (80 kg). Each band measures 6.3 inches (16 cm) and can stretch up to 5 times its original size. A durable fabric cover surrounds the elastics bands, ensuring their protection and preventing them from stretching beyond their maximum capacity.
The resistance bands are connected to soft handles, which allow for a comfortable and secure grip during workouts. They can be used independently or in conjunction with the SmartWorkout bar by sliding the resistance bar into the handles.
At the back, the bands are securely attached to a foam frame, which serves as a reliable anchor point for exercises behind the back or under the feet. The foam frame measures approximately 20.9 inches (53 cm) in length and 4.7 inches (12 cm) in width, providing stability and support during training sessions.
SmartPress consists of 6 elastic bands with varying levels of resistance:
- White bands: 17.5 lbs (8 kg) each,
- Black bands: 30 lbs (14 kg) each,
- Blue bands: 40 lbs (18 kg) each.
With a maximum total resistance of 175 lbs (80 kg), SmartPress delivers an intense workout experience. If you are craving even more intensity, you can opt for our additional extension of 80 lbs (36 kg). This means you can reach an impressive maximum resistance of 220 lbs (100 kg) by simply replacing the white bands with the extension.
The choice of maximum resistance depends on your level: as a general recommendation, we suggest opting for a maximum resistance of 220 lbs (100 kg) if you are using over 240 lbs (120 kg) for the Chest Press exercise with SmartWorkout Elite, or if you are lifting a weight exceeding 200 lbs (90 kg) for the Bench Press with free weights.
As the bands can be removed, SmartPress offers 7 levels of resistance (9 for those aiming for 220 lbs). For example, by removing the white bands, the maximum perceived resistance is 140 lbs. The bands reach their maximum resistance when stretched to 4 times their initial length, such as during the final phase of a Bench Press movement for most users.
Although the resistance is progressive (lower at the start of the movement, higher at the end of the movement), you will reach the peak intensity faster than with our classic resistance bands set, courtesy of the short bands.
*Depending on the chosen option (175 lbs or 220 lbs).
INTENSITY
MAXIMUM RESISTANCE REACHED FASTER
While the resistance progressively increases throughout the movement, the shorter length of the bands allows you to experience the maximum resistance more quickly. In practical terms, this means you will feel a higher level of muscle activation compared to traditional resistance bands, therefore, better results.
COMFORT
ENSURE COMFORTABLE SECURING OF THE RESISTANCE BANDS
The resistance bands are fastened to a soft and comfortable foam frame. This ensures that the bands are held securely behind your back without coming into direct contact with your body, preventing any potential scratching or discomfort. As a result, the execution of your movements becomes more comfortable and enjoyable, providing an optimal workout experience.
SAFETY
SECURE THE RESISTANCE BANDS WITHOUT THE RISK OF SLIPPING
The foam frame also enables a firm grip on the resistance bands when placed under your feet. This is particularly important during exercises like seated rows, where standard individual bands may easily slip and recoil towards you since they are not blocked between the floor and your feet. With SmartPress, you can confidently perform these exercises, knowing that the bands will stay in place.
MAXIMIZE YOUR WORKOUTS WITH SMARTPRESS SHORT RESISTANCE BANDS
Achieve optimal results by performing the following exercises with SmartPress. You can use the handles (hammer grip) or the resistance bar (pronation and supination grips).
CHEST PRESS
Lower the frame down to the lower back to feel even more resistance at the start of the movement.
CHEST PRESS
Variant: with the bar. This enhances stability, and ultimately allows to use a greater load.
INCLINED CHEST PRESS
With an upward movement, you will target the upper chest muscles more effectively.
CHEST FLY
Alternate crossing your arms to distribute the effort evenly between both pectoral muscles.
WEIGHTED PUSH UPS
Secure the equipment easily by placing the soft handles beneath your hands.
CABLE SEATED ROW
In a seated position, secure the resistance bands under your feet. The frame ensures that the bands do not slide towards you during the workout.
ROWING
The three grips are possible. With the bar: pronation and supination grip; with the handles: hammer grip.
