Panatta French Press is a machine designed for isolated training of the triceps, i.e. the muscles on the back of the arm. According to the manufacturer, the movement mainly involves the long head of the triceps. The machine belongs to the Arms zone and is suitable as part of an arm workout after basic pressing exercises or as a separate exercise aimed at completing a triceps workout.

The movement is guided, making it easier to focus on working in the elbow joint without the need to stabilize the barbell or dumbbells. The adjustable seat allows you to adapt the working position to your body. When properly adjusted, the shoulders and torso remain stable, while the main work is done when the arms are extended.
One of the advantages of the machine is the rotating handle, which allows you to choose a narrower or wider grip. This provides more adjustment options according to your preferred hand position and the way you perform the exercise. The design also uses a resistance path adapted to the course of the movement. This allows you to maintain a smooth pace and better control the lowering and pushing phases.
A practical feature is the auxiliary lever balance, which reduces the initial weight of the moving parts. The lever for starting the movement makes it easier to adjust to the working position, especially when mounting the machine. These features simplify operation and allow you to pay more attention to technique, range of motion and equal engagement of both arms.
When exercising, the seat should be adjusted so that the shoulders remain in a stable position and the elbows follow the natural path of the handles. The movement should be smooth, without swinging and without excessively pulling the arms forward. It is advisable to control both phases of the repetition and use a load that keeps the technique the same throughout the series.
