The Machine
• Stabilization - The upper torso is stabilized
against an anterior chest pad. This utilizes the
upper extremity to assist with stabilization,
rather than movement of the resistance. Ad-
ditionally, as motion of the upper body/torso
is eliminated, the head may remain in a fixed
and focused position. This aids to improve per-
formance and decrease the opportunity for
vestibular stimulation and the potential for
dizziness.
• Range of Motion Adjustment - A push button
mechanism between the leg pads allows the
user to easily preset the degree of rotation for
the start/end position at 30, 45, 60 or 75
degrees while in the seated position. The end
of the concentric movement, although ulti-
mately subject to the control/ability of the
user, is limited at a maximal range of 75
degrees.
• Resistance Application - The resistance is applied securely through the lower body. This
dramatically reduces inefficient movement of the resistance by poorly stabilized extremities
(a common problem with traditional rotary torso machines that utilize the upper extremity to
maintain contact with the resistance). The drive mechanism eliminates the “slack” found in
most machines that offer multi-directional concentric movement, thereby allowing
immediate resistance.
• 10 to 205 Pounds by Fives - The top plate provides a minimum weight of ten pounds.
Subsequent plates in the weight stack are twenty pounds each. Three “slide-on” five pound
incremental plates are securely positioned for easy access and effortless addition thereby
providing 10 to 205 pounds in five pound increments.
