The Volksgym ISO-Lateral Horizontal Bench Press VG-0770 is a plate-loaded bench press machine with independent arm paths that force each side of your chest to work independently. At AED 6,399, this is a commercial-grade iso-lateral press — each arm moves on its own lever, eliminating the dominant-side compensation that happens on barbell and fixed-path machine presses. The result: balanced chest development, reduced injury risk, and the ability to train through strength imbalances rather than around them.

Who Should Buy This?

Commercial gym owners adding a premium chest station. The iso-lateral bench press is a centerpiece machine in any serious gym. It attracts the kind of experienced lifters who understand and seek out independent arm path training — and it signals to prospective members that your gym has professional-grade equipment.

Lifters with muscle imbalances. If your right chest and arm are stronger than your left (common for right-hand-dominant lifters), the iso-lateral press forces each side to move its own load. You can't mask the imbalance the way you can on a barbell bench.

Athletes training for sports performance. Independent arm pressing mimics real-world pushing patterns — boxing, MMA, football contact — where each arm operates independently under different loads and angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from a regular machine bench press?
Standard machine presses use a single bar or linked arms — both sides move together. The VG-0770's arms are fully independent. You can press different weights on each side, which is invaluable for rehab and correcting imbalances.

What plates does it take?
Standard Olympic plates (50mm hole). Load each side independently to match your strength on that side.

Is plate-loaded better than selectorised?
Plate-loaded machines feel more natural and allow finer weight increments. Selectorised (pin-loaded) machines are faster to adjust between sets but are limited to the weight stack. For a commercial gym, having both types is ideal.
