JAWS Strength X-Wave Shoulder Press
Golden Era Design. Reinvented for Today.
The JAWS Strength X-Wave Shoulder Press is a modern reimagining of one of the most revered machines in gym history – the Cybex X-Cross Converging Shoulder Press. Loved by lifters for its joint-friendly biomechanics and humbling resistance curve, the original earned a cult following. JAWS has taken that golden era inspiration and rebuilt it from the ground up with heavier-duty construction, precision engineering, and long-term reliability for today’s serious gyms.
Built for Pain-Free Power
Anyone who has trained long enough knows the toll traditional barbell or dumbbell pressing can take on the shoulders. The X-Wave preserves the shoulder-friendly mechanics that made the Cybex model famous:
-
Converging press path – the hands track together as you press, reducing joint stress while keeping tension locked on the delts.
-
Unilateral movement – each arm works independently, ensuring balanced development and removing strength imbalances.
-
Natural dumbbell-like feel – without the instability or shoulder irritation of free weights.
This makes the X-Wave a perfect choice for building shoulder strength and size without the wear-and-tear of conventional pressing.
Strength That Humbles
Don’t let the smooth mechanics fool you. The resistance profile is brutally honest – 40kg per side on this machine feels a lot like pressing 40kg dumbbells. Even seasoned lifters will find themselves challenged, making the X-Wave as effective for strength athletes as it is for physique trainers.
The JAWS Advantage
While the original was great, the X-Wave is built like a tank:
-
Heavy-gauge steel frame for maximum rigidity and long-term use.
-
Industrial-grade bearings and pivots for silky-smooth motion under heavy loads.
-
Oversized ergonomic handles to reduce pressure on the hands and keep you locked into the lift.
-
Compact footprint for easy placement in commercial gyms without sacrificing performance.
Why Choose the X-Wave?
-
Shoulder-friendly pressing mechanics that extend your training longevity.
-
Independent arm paths for symmetry, balance, and safety.
-
Heavy-duty build designed to outlast high-traffic commercial use.
-
A heritage design that pays homage to the best of the past – made even better by JAWS.
The JAWS Strength X-Wave Shoulder Press is more than just a machine. It’s a revival of one of the greatest shoulder pressing machines created – engineered for the lifters of today.
