Plate Loaded Equipment - Upper Body

Plate-loaded upper body gym equipment is ideal for developing strength and power in the arms, shoulders and chest. Commercial plate-loaded strength machines are robust and simple to use, with weight plates providing resistance for a range of upper body exercises.

Upper body plate-loaded machines have a couple of key advantages over pin-loaded/weight stack machines. They generally offer a greater load capacity and the ability to increase that load more precisely, through the use of fractional plates. And they are ultra-durable and low maintenance, making them a low effort addition to both home and commercial gyms.
