Newtech Onhim-R Seated Chest Press

追加: 2026-05-08

[00:00:00]Hey team, so today we're going to go over our new tech seated chest press.

[00:00:05]This is the on him uh variation, so stands for rotational. So, it has a little cool feature where your handle grips actually rotate as you go through your range of motion.

[00:00:18]Being more anatomically suitable for your hand positioning, not putting too much stress or unwanted pressure onto your forearms, kind of where you can find doing so on a fixed bar like a bench press or even a Smith press.

[00:00:36]So, let's go over some of the adjustments and unique features of this machine, and then we'll show you how to use it in person. So, first things first is you are able to adjust the incline position here in your backrest. So, [music] by using the turn and pull pin here, you just slightly loosen that, never much at all, and you'll be able to pull this back and then sort of adjust the uh incline on this machine. You will have a hydraulic here to sort of assist you, so whether you want to sit a bit further back and actually get this in more of a decline position, you always can do that.

[00:01:12]The other adjustment point that they have is on each side of the handle, because this is a unilateral machine, meaning that each arm moves in its own.

[00:01:22]You do have an uh push pin adjustment here for a slight strength curve variation. So, if you do want the most amount of tension coming at the bottom of the movement or when you're in the most stretch position of the muscle, have this at position one, its highest.

[00:01:41]And if you do want to relieve some of that tension uh at the bottom of that movement, you've got four levels of variation that you can technically adjust in order to help you with that slight strength curve change.

[00:01:56]Last but not least, outside of obviously the seat height positioning, we do have a um a leg press pretty much spotter for you here. So, what this is going to allow you to do is to stay very safe with this machine, as well as be able to start your movement and end your movement [music] safely by pressing down onto this uh leg push lever thing which looks very cool with these metal grooves in it, >> [music] >> um to pretty much hold these handles for you, cuz as you know in some machines it's a little bit hard to get behind, or you're just not getting enough range of motion. This makes sure that you can get as far back as you possibly [music] can, but also exit the machine safely by just pushing that with your legs and getting off. So, let's now show you how to use this. All right, team, so we've got lovely Jess here that is going to show you how to use this machine. So, first things first, once you have adjusted your backrest to your desirable incline position, um you want to adjust your seat. This is a little bit important to get the most out of this chest press.

[00:03:04]One thing I do want you to note is don't have or don't sit too low to a position where you're going to have to flare your elbows out to like a 90° angle, right? Because what's going to happen is you're going to stretch your front delt [music] quite heavily, not engaging your chest as much as you can.

[00:03:24]So, where you kind of want the handles to be is to sort of be >> [music] >> here, as you can see, at kind of your armpit or slightly below, cuz that's going to allow you to keep your upper arm at a 45° angle, making sure that you can get a much better range of motion in your pec, um and as well as making sure that you're actually engaging your chest rather than being a very front delt dominant movement. So, just even for the purpose of this chest, we will get you to use the top handles, slightly raise your seat, just not by much, but let's just pop your seat up a bit. Jump onto this now.

[00:04:00]All right, awesome. So, now as we can see, the handle is at just the sort of bottom of the armpit, so that's going to be a good position. So, when Jess starts to initiate the movement, she will press onto her spotty leg lever thing, whatever it is, and the handles come up. So, now you can comfortably get into this machine, get your grip right, and now move into a full stretch position with your pecs.

[00:04:23]So, press that now forward, and as you can possibly notice is that these handles now rotate out, so she starts to move slightly in a more neutral grip position as she presses forward and is able to control that movement a lot better. So, one thing I also want you guys to keep in mind when you're executing this, always control that negative portion of that movement. For your best outcome, stop at the bottom of that movement, break all momentum, and drive to a full contraction at the top. Try to not bring your shoulders forward when you're pushing, have your scapulas pressed up against that back seat and tucked up, and always have your chest in front of your shoulders throughout that range of movement.

[00:05:09]So, what when Jess is done and she wants to finish the movement, she'll just press that lever, and now she's able to stop nice and safely and just lower those handle bars behind her. And that's how you use our on him seated chest press. Hope you guys enjoy it. Take care.
