OUR EQUIPMENT: PRIME FITNESS PLATE LOADED EQUIPMENT
Here at WhittleStrength, we pride ourselves in our equipment selection. Our facility is outfitted with the best fitness brands on today’s market. One of our favorite brands, PRIME Fitness USA, develops state of the art equipment that’s scientifically engineered to help you train at your personal best. PRIME changed the game, using a science-forward approach for the innovation of smarter strength training equipment.
PRIME’s use of their patented SmartStrengh technology allows us to manipulate the peak resistance throughout the entire range of motion of an exercise. By training along the resistance curve, we can train in the lengthened, middle, and shortened positions. This allows us to recruit more muscle fibers. This is important, as increased muscle fiber recruitment will lead to increased force production (stronger muscle contractions) and more mechanical demands placed on the muscles.
How to read our PRIME SmartStrength machines:
Our PRIME Fitness machines are numbered with a 1, 2 and 3 setting.
1 = The load feels the heaviest in the middle of the lift/ROM (i.e. in the middle of a lat-pulldown)
2 = The load feels the heaviest in the shortened or concentric position (i.e. the bottom position of a lat-pulldown)
3 = The load feels the heaviest in the lengthened or eccentric position (i.e. the beginning position of a lat-pulldown when the arms are fully extended)
