Vortex Triceps Press - Plate Loaded

Triceps Press Plate-Loaded Machine — Vortex Series

Guided Triceps Press | Chest & Elbow Support | 3mm Steel Frame | 155.5kg Build | Model BL25

A dip's worth of triceps loading without the shoulders taking the strain. The Vortex Triceps Press supports the chest and fixes the elbows, then runs the press on a guided plate-loaded path, so the load stays on the triceps from the top of the movement to lockout - no momentum, no shoulder roll, no wrist pain.

Neutral-grip handles line up with the wrist and elbow, sealed pivot bearings keep the press fluid, and at 1050mm high on a 155.5kg frame it tucks into a floor plan where taller machines won't fit.

Key Features

• Guided press path — keeps tension on the triceps through the full range of motion
• Chest and elbow support — a supported position that takes the strain off the shoulders and wrists
• Fixed elbow placement — removes momentum so the triceps do all the work
• Neutral-grip handles — ergonomic grips aligned with the wrist and elbow
• Plate-loaded resistance — Olympic plate horns - precise progressive overload with no stack to service
• 3mm commercial steel frame — 155.5kg of heavy-gauge steel (measured before painting) at just 1050mm high, made to order in 16 frame and 12 upholstery colours

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a triceps extension?
The extension bends and straightens the elbow with the upper arm fixed on a pad - pure isolation. The press is a dip-style pushing movement with the chest supported, so it takes more load and brings the whole triceps into a heavier, compound-feeling push. The two complement each other.

Why fix the elbows?
Free elbows drift forward under load and the shoulders and chest take over. Fixed placement keeps the work on the triceps and takes the strain off the shoulder joint.

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

What pairs with it for arms?
The Vortex Biceps Curl for the front of the arm, and the Vortex Triceps Extension for the isolation version of this movement.

Can I choose my own colours?
