The Total Body Press combines upper and lower body pressing motions, enabling users to burn more calories and strengthen multiple muscle groups in less time. Its design replicates weight-bearing exercises like the Push-Press but greatly reduces the compressive forces on joints, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
Study Finds TRUE Fitness PLS-1500 Total Body Press Delivers Superior Workload and Muscle Activation Compared to Full Body Barbell Press.
TRUE Fitness commissioned an independent study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Total Body Press compared to a traditional barbell full body press. Conducted by a third-party lab, the study focused on users’ workload output and fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment in each exercise. Thirty participants—split evenly between experienced and novice users—were assessed.
Olympic lifts, such as the Clean & Jerk and the Snatch, activate fast-twitch muscle fibers to develop speed, power, and total-body awareness. However, due to their technical requirements, these lifts can be challenging to master. The Total Body Press offers similar benefits but with a controlled, fixed movement pattern. It allows users to focus on body awareness without the complexities of free weights.
The study’s findings revealed that experts and novices achieved a higher workload in a single set on the Total Body Press than the full-body barbell press. When included in a one-hour workout, the Total Body Press also increased caloric output and enhanced fast-twitch muscle activation, demonstrating its efficiency and effectiveness for diverse users.
