Multipresses: The power station for guided and safe strength training

Do you want safe strength training at home or at your gym? Do you want to combine the option of guided training with the possibility of free training on a rack? Then the multi-press , or Smith Machine , is the right solution for you! The flexible application possibilities and versatile training methods of the multi-press will convince you in the long run. In this article, we will discuss and explain the possible applications and advantages of the multi-press.

What is a multi-press?

Multi-presses are versatile and space-saving power stations. They allow you to effectively train almost every basic exercise. A multi-press consists of several stations that can be used for different exercises such as bench presses, shoulder presses, and squats. A multi-press enables guided barbell training. To ensure this, a barbell bar is built into the multi-press. The movement of this barbell is usually only possible up or down. At the same time, multi-presses offer several catch hooks or notches along their movement path. This combination makes it possible to hook the barbell bar and ensures safety. Many multi-presses also allow free barbell training by attaching J-hooks to the drilled holes. By using weight plates and adjustable weight benches, the variety and intensity of your training can be individually adjusted. Some of our multi-presses can be expanded with a lat pulldown, turning them into a complete power station. We recommend the ATX multi-press with lat pulldown weights . Our multi-presses are particularly robust and durable. Some models are studio-certified and have undergone various stress tests.

Advantages of the multi-press

Multi-presses offer a variety of advantages that will enhance your strength training . Safety plays a very important role in strength training. The primary goal is to build muscle, but the secondary goal is to avoid injury. Guided training on a multi-press significantly reduces the risk of injury during different exercises. The movement sequence is always identical. Therefore, training on a multi-press is particularly recommended for beginners or for those who want to isolate and specifically target a specific muscle group. This function is also advantageous for a home workout without a training partner. In addition to safety, the multi-press also impresses with its flexibility. Every high-quality multi-press allows the trainee to perform free strength training on a rack. Accordingly, exercises such as bench presses, squats, or shoulder presses can also be performed freely with a barbell. The expansion options, especially our ATX multi-presses , allow you to turn a classic multi-press into a complete home gym . The integration of a lat pulldown allows you to specifically train your entire back. You can also train your biceps, triceps, and shoulders with the cable pull. Additional attachments such as emergency shelves or barbell stands provide additional safety and comfort.

Training on the multi-press

Multi-press machines are particularly suitable for anyone who wants to perform guided training at home or in the gym. Multi-press machines are ideal for isolated and clean training . Isolated training can provide new stimuli and thus lead to progression throughout the training process. Below, we'll outline a few of the most popular multi-press exercises. There are many different exercise applications, so be creative and use your multi-press flexibly.

Back/biceps training: Every multi-press features a multi-grip pull-up device . These allow for varied pull-up training with different grip variations. This allows for targeted training of the back and biceps muscles. By integrating a lat pull-down option, you can optimize your back and biceps training. Work with different grips and angles to create new stimuli and promote long-term muscle growth.

Chest training: The bench press is a classic exercise that intensively targets the chest muscles. With the help of an adjustable weight bench, you can perform flat, incline, and decline bench presses. The different angles target different areas of your chest muscles. The incline bench press specifically targets your upper chest muscles. Decline bench presses , on the other hand, target the lower part of your chest muscles.

Leg training: A multi-press machine is ideal for making your leg workout varied and intense. The classic exercise is the multi-press squat. This exercise specifically targets your front thigh muscles and adductors. With the help of the multi-press machine, you can perform exercises like choice steps and Bulgarian split squats cleanly and efficiently.

Tips for training on the multi-press

Posture and positioning : Maintain a straight back and spine during your exercises. Engage your core muscles for better core tension. If you are unsure about an exercise, consult a fitness coach or experienced athlete.

Breathing techniques during the exercise: Inhale while lowering the weights and exhale while pressing or lifting. Controlled breathing supports body tension and stability.

Avoid common mistakes: Make sure your movements are slow and controlled to avoid injuries and to fully engage your muscles.

Progression and increasing the load : Warm up thoroughly before starting your work sets. Choose an appropriate weight for your work sets that you can easily control. However, the weight you choose should also be challenging enough. Increase the weight over time to steadily increase the intensity of your training. This will stimulate new muscles and thus achieve continuous muscle growth.
