Most customers say that the resistance is similar in feeling to a pneumatic system. This is because the resistance mechanism of the ANCORE is not dependent on gravity and allows for high-speed, ballistic movements as well as slower, more controlled movements.
The resistance is generated via a torque-loaded spring mechanism. The torque curve is quite flat in the middle cable length range, where most movements are done. There is a slight progression from the first foot of cable compared to when the cable is pulled out at 8 feet. There is always tension on the cable at any point, allowing for concentric, eccentric, and isometric movements. Additionally, the resistance is not inertial or flywheel-based.
The ANCORE uses simulated resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio with an approximate range of 5 lbs to 65 lbs. For example, using six high resistance plates (~10 lbs each + 5lbs in the base) would provide a total resistance of 65 lbs.
The cable has a maximum length of 8 feet.
Traditional cable machines are designed at 2:1 or 4:1 ratios using pulleys or levers to achieve a mechanical advantage. For example, using a 2:1 pulley cable machine, the 130 lbs plate is approximately equivalent to 65 lbs of force required. The ANCORE uses resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio, so the resistance on the plates is equal to what you'd experience during a workout.
Currently, there is a maximum of 6 resistance plates on the ANCORE at a time.
Yes, you can attach the resistance plates asymmetrically. For example, you can have one 5 lbs plate on the right of the ANCORE and two 10 lbs plates on the left.
The Strap Mount has a 21" industrial Velcro strap that folds over. A fixture with a 13" inch circumference or 3" x 3" squat rack is optimal.
The Rack Mount is compatible with squat racks that have:
Uprights between 2 and 4 inches thick (depth)
AND
Hole spacing of 1, 2, 3, or 4 inches apart (center to center)
AND
Holes between 5/8 and 1 inch in diameter
