FUNCTIONAL TRAINERS AND MULTI-STATIONS – CABLE TENSIONING PROCEDURE
2. PRE-STRETCH OR “SET” THE CABLE
▶ Attached a short handle to the ball end of the cable then pin 50-70 lbs. on the weight stack.
▶ Do 5-10 reps at a rapid rate but do not allow the weight stack to crash down. You want to keep constant tension on the cable.
▶ Check the cable end measurement. Proper tension should leave 10mm of clearance between the stopper and carriage or pulleys as shown in Step 6.a. in
the tightest conditions.
▶ Adjust cable as needed.
