pec deck

Gym chest equipment

A pec deck is a weight machine for chest exercises, where the user sits upright and brings two padded arms together in front of the body, squeezing the pectoral muscles.

The motion mimics a hugging movement.

Also called a butterfly machine: I finished my chest workout with three sets on the pec deck.
