The ANCORE Strap Mount is designed for use on nearly any squat rack but will also work well on various poles, beams, and fixtures. The optimal circumference of the mounting fixture is between 10 inches and 14 inches.We can customize the length of the ANCORE Strap Mount for you: Please reach out at Hello@ANCOREtraining.com with the subject line "Custom Length - Strap Mount," and we'll be happy to get you set up.
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.
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.
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 cable has a maximum length of 8 feet.
