![]() ![]() Usually, you have 3 sets of 10 reps at 30kg (each cable) programmed once per week. > Complete the drop set straight after without rest.Įxample: Say you want to add a drop set to your Bench Press. > Complete the usual heavier sets-reps in your session. > Switch on the ‘Autoplay’ toggle and begin your workout. ![]() Switch on the Regression toggle to 1,2, or 3kg. Starting load: trial the weight you have programmed in your usual heavier sets-reps (you can adjust it after you get a feel for it). > On the last usual set of your exercise, lower the rest period to 0. We recommend starting with 1 exercise per muscle group, once per week. Pick the exercise you would like to perform a drop set. If you’re new to drop sets, here is how you can start: With the Regression toggle, your Trainer+ is your spotter! If you were completing drop sets at the gym, you would be limited to pin-loaded machines to quickly lower the weight of each set, or need the assistance of 2 spotters to un-rack your weight plates. Once you reach failure, you lower the load and start moving again straight away, and continue repeating this process until you cannot move anymore. In a traditional gym environment, you would perform an exercise at a heavy weight and keep repping till you reach failure at that weight. With the Regression toggle, you can perform your usual heavy sets-reps and add extra sets that lower by 1, 2 or 3kg each rep - helping you fatigue the muscle and reach failure almost like why you would program drop sets into your workouts.ĭrop sets are an advanced technique where you perform an exercise at lower weight after fatiguing at heavier weight, pursuing more-and-more reps until your muscles reach absolute failure.ĭrop sets maximise your time under tension for a longer period of time than if you did your usual sets and reps - having minimal-to-no rest is required. What does this mean for your training: You can now perform regression sets How should I move? Pause at the top of each rep to deload the weight You can choose whether to remove 1, 2 or 3kg every time you reach the top position Knowing this percentage, each time you unlock a heavier weight, the machine will automatically increase the weight for all the exercises.Įach rep will get lighter over the duration of the set When switched on, the machine auto-calculates the percentage of weight you have selected, against your logged PB for that exercise. The assessment isn’t like your typical 1-rep max test - the machine calculates your strength by how much power you can produce concentrically (in the upward phase) - hence the reminder to move fast each time you come up in your reps.Īnother method for the machine to calibrate as your strength improves is through our ‘Scaled Workout’ toggle - which can be switched on in the edit screen of your custom workout. To complete the Strength Assessment successfully, please remember to move fast through your reps. Simply calibrate the machine using the “Strength Assessment” and the machine will take care of the rest until you retest again. Yes, the machine can standardise all the exercise movement categories (ie, squat, deadlift, bench, etc) to your current strength level to ensure you’re lifting weight that is suitable for you. We’re always evolving and releasing new modes to take our Member’s training to the next level, to check out the our available core modes in more detail click here. So whether you’re working on skill development, or your muscles are hitting fatigue sooner than usual, the machine calculates at 40 times per second, what weight is appropriate for you at any given time. We use algorithms which adapt the weight to your capabilities. It feels like the machine is alive and constantly spotting you. Non-Adaptive training modes keep the weight constant - you either can, or cannot, move it.Īdaptive modes are a little more forgiving and super intuitive. The mechanism maintains mechanical tension throughout the whole range-of-motion, ensuring your muscles are actually moving the weight - no more relying on momentum!ĭepending on the demands of your workout, you can select from a range of “Adaptive” and “Non-Adaptive” training modes, which vary how the machine will apply load to your body. You’ll never feel as connected to your muscles as you do with the Trainer+. ![]()
