Attach the desired grip or bar to the pulley block and
position your feet as described above.
Use the drive belt length adjustment button to set the top position
for the actual exercise. As with the harness, for beginners and
rehab patients doing upper body exercises, the top position should
be just before all active joints are fully extended. For experienced
users, there can be some slack in the top position to minimize
strain on the belt at the reversal point. Remember not to stop the
movement in an extended position as this will put strain on your
joints.
Put the flywheel in motion to roll up the belt. Accelerate the flywheel
by starting the exercise at a lower intensity. Accelerate the flywheel
at every repetition. After two to four repetitions, you should have
reached your desired training intensity.
Perform your training set, usually 6-12 repetitions.
Decelerate and stop the flywheel on the way down. Don’t put down
the handle or grip before the flywheel(s) has come to a complete
stop. Rest accordingly.
Selecting Inertia
Inertia will dictate the speed and hence the type of
resistance training you are doing.
Lower inertia equals higher speed and lower force and, higher
power vs higher inertia. For max strength, slow and controlled
movements with high force and low speed are warranted and
hence require more inertia.
