The PMX RPL-10 Unilateral Converging Decline Press is a commercial plate-loaded strength machine built for controlled decline pressing with independent arm movement. Featuring an adjustable seat, radial bearings at every pivot point, integrated plate storage, premium seamless upholstery, and a heavy-duty 11-gauge steel frame, it delivers a smooth, durable pressing station for high-use training environments.
PMX RPL-10 Unilateral Converging Decline Press
The PMX RPL-10 combines a unilateral pressing design with a converging movement path, allowing each arm to move independently through the exercise. This gives users the option to train both sides together or emphasize one side independently while maintaining the guided movement of a commercial plate-loaded machine.
Built around a 2" × 3" 11-gauge steel frame, the RPL-10 is designed for demanding strength-training environments. Radial bearings at all pivot points help create smooth arm movement, while the adjustable seat allows users to establish an appropriate pressing position without relying on pop-pin adjustments.
Integrated weight-plate storage keeps additional plates close to the machine, and PMX's 40 oz. seamless, bacteria-free upholstery is designed for repeated commercial use.
- Independent Arm Movement: Train both sides together or independently.
- Converging Press Path: Provides a natural inward pressing motion.
- Plate-Loaded Resistance: Simple progressive loading with standard weight plates.
- Low Starting Resistance: Just 8 lb of starting resistance makes the movement accessible to a wider range of users.
- Smooth Pivot Action: Radial bearings are used at all pivot points.
- Adjustable Seat: Quick positioning without traditional pop pins.
- Integrated Plate Storage: Keeps frequently used plates organized and close at hand.
- Commercial Construction: Heavy-duty 11-gauge steel frame built for high-use facilities.

Independent Arm Movement
Each pressing arm operates independently, allowing unilateral or bilateral training and making it easier to train each side separately. PMX Strength
Converging Decline Press Design
The RPL-10 combines independent arms with a converging pressing pattern designed specifically for decline pressing movements.
Adjustable Seat — No Pop Pins
The seat can be repositioned without a traditional pop-pin system, helping users establish an appropriate setup quickly. PMX Strength
Radial Bearings at All Pivot Points
PMX uses radial bearings throughout the pivot system to create smooth, durable movement under repeated loading. PMX Strength
8 lb Starting Resistance
The machine has a listed starting resistance of only 8 lb, allowing users to begin with a relatively light unloaded movement before adding plates. PMX Strength
Built-In Weight Plate Storage
Integrated plate storage keeps additional weight within reach while helping maintain a cleaner strength floor.
40 oz. Seamless Upholstery
PMX specifies 40 oz. seamless, bacteria-free upholstery designed for commercial use. PMX Strength
Solid Rubber Arm Stop & Support
The RPL-10 incorporates a 2" × 3" solid rubber arm stop and support to cushion the machine's pressing arms. PMX Strength
Powder-Coat Finish
A durable powder-coated finish helps protect the steel frame from normal commercial wear.

Can each arm move independently?
Yes. The RPL-10 features independent arm movement, allowing users to press with both arms together or train one side independently.
Is the RPL-10 plate loaded?
Yes. Resistance is added with weight plates, allowing users to increase or decrease the training load as needed.
What is the starting resistance?
PMX lists the starting resistance at 8 lb.
Does the seat adjust?
Yes. The RPL-10 includes an adjustable seat that does not use traditional pop pins.
Does it include weight storage?
Yes. Integrated weight-plate storage is included on the machine.
With independent pressing arms, don't automatically match your stronger side. Start with a load both sides can control through the full movement, then use unilateral sets when needed to address strength differences without allowing the dominant side to compensate.
