Gold Line Converging Triceps - Plate-Loaded Arm Machine

The Gold Line Converging Triceps is a plate-loaded arm extension machine with independent converging arms, built on a 3 mm SPHC steel frame. It measures 131 x 117 x 117 cm, weighs 155 kg and accepts users up to 180 kg. Light In Fitness supplies it at 1,685 EUR excluding VAT.

Converging arms, one triceps at a time

The two arms of this machine are independent and converge as they extend, so the hands travel inwards along the natural arc of elbow extension rather than on a fixed parallel bar. Two consequences follow. Each arm carries its own load, so a dominant side cannot mask a weaker one; and the resistance stays aligned with the long head of the triceps through the full extension instead of falling away at lockout.

• Independent converging arms, plate-loaded on 50 mm Olympic posts
• Two loading levels on each post
• Safety bar limiting the working range
• Quick-release seat adjustment, settings marked in yellow

Build quality

Frame material is hot-rolled SPHC oval steel tube in 150 x 50 mm section with a 3 mm wall, laser cut and robot welded. The seat uses a twin pneumatic cylinder reinforced construction with 2 mm upholstery leather over high-density polyurethane foam, and the grip zones are extra-strength TPR-EVA. The finish is powder coating applied as two protective base coats with a final top coat, standard in black or grey, custom colours negotiable.

Where it fits on a gym floor

At 131 x 117 cm the footprint is small for a plate-loaded arm station, which makes it a realistic option for clubs that have run out of room in the free-weight zone. It is normally specified alongside a biceps curl and a chest press from the same line, so the loading procedure and the seat adjustment are identical across the group and induction time falls.

Olympic plates are supplied separately.

Frequently asked questions

Why train triceps on a machine rather than with a cable?

A cable pushdown loads the triceps but also demands trunk stabilisation, which becomes the limiting factor as the weight rises. A seated converging machine removes that limit, so the arm reaches genuine muscular failure. It is also far easier to supervise in a busy room.

Can the load be balanced unevenly between arms?

Yes, deliberately. Because the arms are mechanically independent, a rehabilitation programme can load the recovering side lighter than the healthy side and progress the two separately. That is not possible on a bar-linked machine.

How often does the upholstery need replacing?

On a commercial floor, 2 mm leather over high-density PU foam typically runs five to seven years before recovering is worth doing. Pads are replaceable individually rather than as a full seat assembly.
