Description
The Etenon R5101 is a plate-loaded incline chest press aimed at the upper and mid pectorals. The guided path delivers the pressing angle that develops the clavicular portion of the chest, without the shoulder and back loading that a poorly executed incline barbell press produces.
The angle a flat bench cannot give
The upper chest is the region members look at first and the hardest to develop from a flat bench alone. An incline barbell press covers it, but only when the set-up and the bar path are right — and on a commercial floor they frequently are not. A guided station fixes the angle, so the load goes where it is intended regardless of the user’s technique.
Specification
- Guided path oriented to the upper and mid pectorals.
- Plate-loaded with independent left and right arms.
- Ergonomic backrest with non-slip foot positioning.
- Multi-grip handles, neutral and pronated.
- Reinforced Q235 steel frame, oven-cured epoxy paint.
Building a coherent chest zone
Three chest machines standing side by side cannibalise each other. The sequence that works is progressive: barbell bench, then the R5101 incline press, then a horizontal press, then a cable crossover. Each station adds an angle the previous one does not cover, and members can be shown the order. We set that progression out on the 3D layout drawing before anything is ordered.

Frequently asked questions
What do independent arms add on a pressing machine?
Each side carries its own load, so a stronger side cannot compensate for a weaker one. It also allows single-arm pressing, which adds a trunk stability demand the bilateral version does not.
Neutral or pronated grip?
Pronated emphasises the pectorals more directly; neutral is generally more comfortable for users with shoulder sensitivity. Having both on the same handle means the user chooses without changing station.
Are plates included?
No. Olympic plates are a separate line item and should be confirmed on the quotation.
