Dynamic Fluid Fitness P918 Squat to Overhead Press

Free Standard Dock or Lift-gate Delivery (Lower 48 Only)

The Dynamic Fluid Fitness P918 Squat to Overhead Press is a commercial strength training machine designed for full-body squats, overhead presses, squat-to-press movements, reverse lunges and other compound exercises. Its patented Twin Tank Adjustable Fluid Resistance system provides 10 resistance levels with smooth, concentric loading for rehabilitation, strength development, power training and conditioning.

The semi-isokinetic characteristics of fluid resistance allow resistance to respond to the user's effort. Combined with tapered shoulder pads, ergonomic handrails and a counterbalanced press arm, the P918 accommodates a wide range of users without requiring time-consuming machine adjustments.

Dynamic Fluid Fitness P918 Squat to Overhead Press

The Dynamic Fluid P918 combines lower-body and upper-body exercise into a commercial fluid strength machine. Users can perform traditional squats and overhead presses independently or combine the movements into a coordinated squat-to-overhead press.

The P918 also supports reverse lunges and lunge-to-press movements, creating additional options for functional strength, rehabilitation, athletic performance and total-body conditioning.

It can be used as a standalone strength machine or combined with other Dynamic Fluid Fitness rehabilitation and exercise equipment to create a broader fluid resistance training circuit.

10-Level Adjustable Fluid Resistance

The P918 uses Dynamic Fluid Fitness's patented Twin Tank Adjustable Fluid Resistance system with 10 selectable resistance levels.

Its semi-isokinetic resistance characteristics allow the machine to respond to the user's effort. Increasing movement speed and force increases the resistance generated by the fluid system, allowing users to control exercise intensity without conventional weight stacks or plates.

• 10 adjustable fluid resistance levels
• Patented Twin Tank resistance system
• Smooth concentric resistance
• Semi-isokinetic resistance characteristics
• User-controlled movement speed
• Suitable for strength, power and conditioning
• Updated impeller design
• Double-sealed, precision-aligned Twin Tank

The updated impeller design provides up to 15% greater resistance than previous versions while maintaining smooth fluid resistance throughout the movement.

Concentric Strength & Power Training

A defining feature of the Dynamic Fluid P918 is its concentric resistance. The system allows users to generate force during the working portion of the movement without the same eccentric loading associated with lowering conventional free weights.

This makes the P918 particularly versatile for exercises where users need to control their own movement speed while developing strength and power.

The P918 may be used for:

• Full-body squats
• Traditional overhead presses
• Military-style presses
• Squat-to-overhead presses
• Reverse lunges
• Lunge-to-press movements
• Strength development
• Power training
• Functional exercise
• Conditioning

Squat to Overhead Press for Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

The Dynamic Fluid P918 may be incorporated into physical therapy and rehabilitation programs when appropriate for the patient's treatment plan. Its adjustable fluid resistance and user-controlled movement speed allow clinicians to adapt exercise intensity to different abilities and stages of rehabilitation.

Lower resistance settings may be used for controlled movement patterns, while the available resistance range provides opportunities for progression as strength, coordination and exercise tolerance improve.

The ability to perform lower-body, upper-body and combined movements on one machine also provides clinicians with options for progressing functional exercise without relying exclusively on traditional free weights.

Squat, Press & Full-Body Exercise Options

The P918 supports several compound exercise patterns from one commercial strength machine.

Full-Body Squats

The shoulder pad and platform configuration allows users to perform squat movements while working against adjustable fluid resistance.

Overhead Press

The P918 supports traditional overhead and military-style pressing movements using its counterbalanced press arm and ergonomic hand positions.

Squat to Overhead Press

Users can combine the squat and press into a coordinated total-body movement that engages the lower and upper body through one continuous exercise pattern.

Reverse Lunges & Lunge Presses

The P918 also supports reverse lunges and lunge-to-press exercises, providing additional options for unilateral lower-body and integrated total-body training.

Counterbalanced Press Arm

The P918 incorporates a counterbalanced press arm designed to make the machine accessible to users with different strength and experience levels.

By counterbalancing the arm assembly, the P918 reduces the starting load associated with the machine itself while allowing the Twin Tank fluid resistance system to determine the exercise resistance.

Tapered Shoulder Pads & Ergonomic Handrails

Tapered shoulder pads help users establish a secure exercise position for squats, presses and combination movements.

Long ergonomic handrails provide multiple grip positions, allowing users to select a comfortable hand placement based on the exercise being performed and individual body position.

This combination helps accommodate different users without requiring extensive machine adjustments between exercises.

Wide Footplates for Stable Positioning

Wide footplates provide a stable base and allow users to select an appropriate stance for squats, presses, lunges and other movements.

Rubber feet help maintain contact with the floor while protecting the underlying surface, supporting use in rehabilitation clinics, fitness facilities and sports performance environments.

Bluetooth Interactive Performance Monitor

The P918 includes a Bluetooth Interactive Performance Monitor with automatic resistance detection for tracking exercise performance.

The monitor displays:

• Time
• Speed
• Distance
• Stroke rate
• Calories per hour
• Watts
• Selected resistance level

A heart-rate receiver is included and compatible with major heart-rate belts. Bluetooth connectivity provides additional options for compatible devices and applications.

Commercial Steel & Aluminum Construction

The Dynamic Fluid Fitness P918 is constructed from steel and aluminum with a premium black finish for commercial environments.

A durable belt drive with active recoil provides smooth operation, while integrated transport wheels make repositioning the machine easier within a facility.
