Using the FLIPPER - Using the Loading Charts
Using the Loading Charts:
The FLIPPER may be used as an endurance training device or to develop strength and power. Just
as a barbell can be used with lighter weights and high repetitions, or at 1 repetition maximum
(1RM) levels, the FLIPPER is infinitely variable, within the boundaries of the empty weight and
maximum loading weight of each machine. This ability to vary the resistance is one of the most
important features of the FLIPPER compared to a tire from the junk yard. This ability to vary the
resistance not only allows athletes of a wide range of abilities to use the same device, but enables
progressive training. Periodization programs requiring variable resistance may be extended to
functional FLIPPER training as well as traditional weight training with barbells and dumbbells.
Uneven Loading:
Another unique feature of the FLIPPER is the ability to vary the load on the same unit without
changing weights. This can be done by what is called “Uneven Loading”. The Loading Charts for
each model are specific to that model so the TS-03 Loading chart is to be used only for the TS-03,
not the TS-04. The same is true for the TS-04. The Loading Charts tell the athlete or coach what
the equivalent “Even Loading” would be for each end of the FLIPPER.
How does this work? It’s just physics. In the “
Size Matters
” section, the discussion was made
about how the total length of the implement varied not only the torque, and therefore the force
applied throughout the lift, but also the total amount of work done by the lifter. These were all
based on the FLIPPER, or tire, being evenly loaded so the center of gravity is on the geometric
center of the device. The FLIPPER allows the center of gravity to be moved more toward one end
or the other, simply by altering the loading of the weight plates on the weight pins. The principle
is shown in Figure 27. Here the load is labeled as “Adjustable Load”.
