![]() ![]() Overloading the Lats in this way, insure greater development by overloading the Lats through a greater rather range of the exercise. This re-position the lats to a much stronger angle allowing the Pulldown to overload the movement through a greater range of the exercise beginning to end. The Roc-It movement rotates back as you pull. The movement hardest at the end of the range of the movement, easiest at the beginning.Įxamples: Lat Pulldowns, Bent Over Rows, etcĪs we know, Lat Pulldowns are a Descending Strength Curve. Thus, the muscle are underload using weight that does not that heavy.Įxamples: Squats, Deadlifts, Pressing Movements.Ģ) Bell Shaped Curve: Movements like this are easy at the start, hard in the middle and hard at the end of the movement.ģ) Descending Strength Curves: This is the opposite of the Ascending Strength Curve. It overload the muscles through greater range of the exercise. That's why attaching Band and/or Chains to these movement works. As you "Ascend" (push or pull the weight up), the movement become easier. Strength movement falls into one of three categories.ġ) Ascending Strength Curve: These are movement easy at the top end of the movement and hard at the bottom end. The change in position (Rocking Movement) actually varies the resistance of the exercise on the muscles during the movement.Īccommodating Resistance/Variable Resistance If anything the Hoist Roc-It is more effective than "Other Machines". Anyone have any strong opinions either way? Is what my trainer said correct, or is he off base here? I find I like the bicep curls of these machines in particular. I tend to start my workouts out using free weights and gravitate toward machines toward the end. He said that they're not as effective as other machines because in his view, the moving of your body when exercising in fact makes it easier. The trainer I'm working with is of the opinion they're mainly for older people who have difficulty using free weights or other machines. As a result, the ROC-IT line embodies a unique training experience that achieves the unrestricted joint movement and core activating benefits of functional training coupled with the stabilizing benefits of machine-based equipment." Using ROX™ technology, the user becomes an integral part of the exercise by continuously adjusting the position of the user with the movement of the exercise arm. Per the website, "Dynamic adjustment is the essence behind the new ROC-IT™line from HOIST®. Anyone familiar with or have a strong opinion of the Hoist Roc-It Selectorized machines? The local Crunch that I go to has a few of them branded under their "1/2 hour circuit." They tend to move your seat as you perform the exercise to supposedly provide a benefit of some sort.Ĭheck out any specific ones you'd like from their website (just Google Hoist Roc-It and you'll see it). ![]() There have been a few small threads on this topic before but none that have had any substantial replies. ![]()
