Tonio “The Predator” Burton grew up in Nevada and looks forward to entering the boards in Las Vegas, where he will wage war with the biggest names on the bodybuilding stage. Only a few weeks after the 2025 final, Burton showed that he is going all-in with his training and chooses a heavy slope to pump his chest muscles. This is how and why he does it.
“5 sets of tried to be 20,” Burton joked in a recent Instagram post for its 200,000 followers. Although he might have a joke, his words reveal a serious mentality to go on their way to failure in the gym to find success in competitive bodybuilding. That is because Burton is a strong supporter of himself to the limit and his muscles wear so that they will build up bigger.
Why train with the plate loaded iso press machine?
The Incline Press machine focuses the load on the upper chest muscles (source: https://blog.myarsalstrenttig.com/isoincline-press machine), which gives mass and definition to that “upper plank” area of the chest. In the video Burton installed itself on a plate, ISO press machine, which means that it could become heavy while he worked every arm independently to repair any imbalances.
How Tonio Burton cancel his chest muscles with the slope presses
The predator hit his ticket to this year’s Olympia Open category with a stunning victory over the 2025 Legion Sports Fest ProBut he knows it is what he does when he gets away from the spotlight who forges real champions. To this end, he loads a total of ten, 45 pounds (five on each side) to really test his courage. While he starts to avoid, Burton continues with partial repetitions to pound his chest muscles, but always keeps his body static for the right shape. With his handle placed horizontally, the predator maintains a bank-pressed movement and holds a light arch on his back to keep his shoulders stable under the epic weight.
As illustrated by Burton, the ISO ramps press loaded by the plate is a beast of a training of the upper body. The predator may have opted for something near 5 sets of 20 repetitions, but you must ensure that you are familiar with the machine and your form before taking the bravery of the predator. Start with a weight with which you will almost get failure after 8 to 12 repetitions and try to hit 3 sets for hypotrophy. Then take it up from there.
Made the predator His Olympia debut in 2021 in the 212 DivisionWhere he took the tenth, but moved to the Open Division in 2022 and became sixteenth. His last Olympia was again in the Open Division in 2023, and he showed a big improvement and found the eighth place. He decided not to compete in 2024However, explaining that he had to take some time to concentrate on his health and recovery. And if his recent progress is something to pass by, this could be the year of the predator.
