Vortex Laydown Chest Press V2 - Plate Loaded

Laydown Chest Press V2 Plate-Loaded Machine — Vortex Series

Lying Press | Refined V2 Geometry | 3mm Steel Frame | 191kg Build | Model BL24

The Laydown Chest Press V2 is the Vortex lying press with the geometry refined - a revised start position and range of motion over the original - on plate-loaded lever arms that deliver a smooth, natural pressing arc with full torso support underneath. Load the horns, lie back and press; there's nothing to rack and no spotter to find.

Neutral and pronated grips shift the emphasis across the chest, sealed pivot bearings keep the arc fluid, and a 191kg frame of 3mm commercial steel holds it all still.

Key Features

• Lying press position — full torso support under heavy load, no bench or bar to set up
• V2 geometry — refined start position and range of motion over the original Vortex lying press
• Neutral and pronated grips — shift emphasis across the chest with a change of hand position
• Plate-loaded, press to failure safely — Olympic plate horns and lever arms that stop at the end of the range - no spotter needed
• 3mm commercial steel frame — heavy-gauge steel (measured before painting), powder-coated for all-day use
• Made to order in your colours — 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours, with sealed pivot bearings for a smooth press

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about the V2?
The start position and range of motion have been refined over the original Vortex Lay Down Chest Press. The lying, supported format and plate-loaded arms are the same formula.

Do I need a spotter?
No - the lever arms stop safely at the end of the range, so members can press to failure on their own.

What plates does it take?
Standard Olympic plates - bumpers, rubber-coated or iron. Plates are sold separately.

What pairs with it for chest?
The Vortex Incline Chest Press for the upper chest and the Vortex Incline Pec Fly for the isolation squeeze.

Can I choose my own colours?
Yes - made-to-order units come in your choice of 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours, with logo branding available on request. See the chart above.
