Why Choose the BOLT Fitness Mayhem?

The Mayhem Olympic Chest Press is an excellent choice for lifters who want dedicated chest training with the stability and controlled movement of a plate-loaded machine.

The seated position helps provide a consistent setup, allowing users to concentrate on pressing rather than balancing a free weight. This makes the Mayhem particularly useful for adding focused chest volume after barbell bench presses or other compound exercises.

The Olympic plate-loaded design also provides familiar and flexible resistance progression. Users can add plates as their strength increases, making the machine suitable for both strength-focused and hypertrophy-oriented programs.

With independent pressing arms, the Mayhem can also provide a unilateral training option. Training one side at a time can help users identify and work on differences in pressing strength between the left and right sides.

Muscles Worked

Primary Muscle

• Pectoralis Major — The primary muscle responsible for the horizontal pressing movement.
• Pectoralis Minor — Assists with stabilization of the shoulder complex.

Secondary Muscles

• Triceps — Extend the elbows as the handles are pressed forward.
• Anterior Deltoids — Assist with shoulder flexion and horizontal pressing.
• Serratus Anterior — Contributes to shoulder-blade movement and stability.
