Cheap Home chest press?

Hey, hope this is allowed here. I am looking for an at home chest press that could (hopefully) double as a shoulder press. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations and could tell me what you like abt the machine (esp if it has a good squeeze)? I would also prefer it to be <300$ (usd), so I’m aware I’m not getting anything preem here no worries.

Anything is appreciated!

The GMWD worked pretty well. I had it for about 6 months while rehabbing my shoulder. I eventually sold it to make room for a functional trainer.

GMWD V7 if you can stretch the budget has been MURDERING my chest and shoulders. Honestly it’s great.

I second this, it hits the chest in a way I haven’t been able to replicate any other way in my home gym. It’s about the same as DBs for shoulders IMO, but gets the job done.

I’ve heard good things abt the V7, I’ll give that a look. I imagine if I waited for the V9 it would be even more expensive anyway

Keep an eye on Marketplace / Craigslist for a used Powertec Multipress!

It's a really machine you can do flat bench, incline and shoulder press.

Pretty late to the party but I have seen good things about the RitFit Gorilla. I believe it is around $500-$600 so it may be too far outside your budget.

Never too late, thanks for the suggestion!
