Always Have Your Members In Mind When Envisioning Exercise Equipment

When envisioning commercial equipment for your facility, you always have your members in mind. Will they use it? Will it feel good for them to use? Because at the end of the day, equipment is a primary reason any gym has members and retains them. Don’t worry, these questions were in our minds when designing and building these pieces. Our TRUE Palladium Series machines have precise biomechanics and convenient touch points, so your members target the appropriate muscles, helping to avert potential injuries.

For example, the Overhead Pivot Design allows the handles to travel in a slight natural upward arc for maximum pectoral recruitment on the Palladium Chest Press. Think of a barbell bench press path but in a controlled machine. Accurate biomechanics keep your members happy and moving in the right direction towards their goals.

With all TRUE commercial equipment, serviceability is always minimal. Still, the product’s design is easy to service if needed, allowing minimal downtime for any equipment on the gym floor. When building these pieces, they were never intended to overcomplicate usage for the exerciser or the facility owner with unorganized instructions.

Modernized Design Of The Palladium Series Selectorized Strength

The modernized design of the Palladium Series will meet your facility’s standards. With any of these pieces, custom shrouds or custom upholstery fabrics are available to match your company brand, making these pieces fit in even more while capitalizing on your branding goals. The overall design of the equipment is sleek, durable, and clean, so you will not have to worry about replacing your facility’s pieces to stay current with the changing times. One key feature of our pieces is the seat adjustment guide.

If you are a level 3 seat height on the chest press, you will be a level 3 seat height on the shoulder press; no more wasting time to find that perfect fit on each machine. You can even hear it from the YMCA Health and Wellness Director, Judy Couillard, “The number one reason I choose Palladium equipment over all the other manufactures, is that the seat settings was one setting for every piece of machine, I can’t tell you how much time that saves when setting up equipment and showing members how to use the equipment by just having that one setting.”

Strengthening your members will also improve your facility by providing equipment that fits them comfortably through design, precise biomechanics, and high-end serviceability. The TRUE Palladium Series Selectorized Strength line is ready to set your facility apart.

Upper-Body Pull And Lower-Body Push

In this blog, we’re focusing on the biomechanics of the TRUE Palladium Lat Pulldown, an upper-body pull machine, and the Leg Press which is a lower-body push machine.

TRUE Palladium Lat Pulldown

TRUE Palladium Lat Pulldown

Biomechanics Features:

• Arms diverge at 17.5 degrees per side resulting in full articulation of the shoulder complex.
• The arms are unilateral to allow independent work, especially if one side is weaker than the other.
• The strength curve on all Palladium machines is set to give you resistance where you need it and to taper it off when you are weakest. This is so you can complete a full range of motion with proper muscle recruitment.

Trainer Tip:

• Adjust the seat so, at the bottom position, the arms of the machine are parallel to the ground. The seat height adjustment guide located at the top of the weight stack tower will put you in the correct setting.
• Adjust the thigh pad so it sits on top of the thigh or slightly above it.
• For maximum lat involvement, your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width at the bottom position of the pulldown.
• As you pull, drive your shoulder blades down and in – don’t shrug and overuse your upper traps.
• Finish the movement by retracting your mid and low traps along with the rhomboids.
• Engage your core to maintain a strong and stable posture.

TRUE Palladium Leg Press

TRUE Palladium Leg Press

Biomechanics Features:

• The 4-position oversized footplate adjusts through 15 degrees allowing for a variety of foot placements while maintaining a neutral ankle position.
• The 5 position back pad with gas cylinder assist adjusts through 20 degrees allowing users to determine the range of motion best suited to their individual needs.
• 9 position seat assembly adjusts easily from the seated position and travels at a 20-degree angle for a proper line of force throughout the exercise.

Trainer Tip:

• Focus on the footplate.
• A more upright angle or setting #3-4 will emphasize the glutes.
• A slanted angle setting of #1-2 will emphasize the quads. Somewhere in the middle will hit both areas.
• Other reasons for the adjustable footplate – individual comfort for the user, especially if you have mobility restrictions in the foot or ankle and just need that slight adjustment to make it feel more comfortable.
• Keep the low back and head neck neutral throughout the movement and never lock your knees out.

Workout

To utilize these machines to target functional muscle groups in your next training session, stick to the basics and use the TRUE Palladium Lat Pulldown and Leg Press with this workout:

Lat Pulldown: 4×12 (Perform each rep with proper form before increasing weight)

Leg Press: 4×8 (Continuously perform each rep. Lower the footplate for a 3-count, then immediately return to the top. Use a weight that is challenging and perform each rep with proper form before increasing the weight)

The post Anything But Basic – The TRUE Palladium Series (Continued) appeared first on 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 - Commercial Exercise Equipment.

In this blog series, we will be walking you through four machines that are part of the TRUE Palladium Series. We’ll show you how this series is separate from other selectorized machines in the industry due to the design’s attention to biomechanics and ergonomics. Keep reading to see how the TRUE Palladium Series does more for your body than you realize, making these machines anything but basic.

TRUE Palladium Chest Press

In this blog, we’re focusing on the biomechanics of the TRUE Palladium Chest Press and Shoulder Press.

TRUE Palladium Chest Press

Biomechanics Features:

• Overhead Pivot Design allows the handles to travel in a slight natural upward arc for maximum pectoral recruitment similar to the path of a barbell bench press. The Press Arms converge at 25 degrees in front of the user resulting in full articulation of the shoulder and constant tension on the pecs throughout the ROM (range of motion).
• The press arms also have unilateral capabilities should you need to focus on one side at a time.
• The Adjustable Seat Back allows users to select START/END positions and the range of motion best suited to their individual needs.
• The strength curve is dialed in to provide the proper resistance at specific joint angles that mimic the body’s natural biomechanics.

Trainer Tip While Using The Chest Press

At the bottom position, the handles should be at a lower chest height.

Your elbows should be 45-70 degrees away from your side. Proper elbow degree will allow full pectoral recruitment and reduced stress on the shoulder joint.

Before you begin any chest press movement, retract your shoulder blades (or squeeze them together) and maintain this position as you press. This position will keep proper tension on the pecs while keeping the shoulder aligned and safe from injury.

Hand Placement – press with the lower part of your hand and keep your wrist neutral so that the line of force is in-line with your forearm. Putting your thumbs in the recessed area of the handle helps facilitate this.

If you need to change the depth of the motion, some chest press machines offer adjustments via the handles or the seatback like on our Palladium selectorized. Adjust the seat forward for a deeper stretch. To limit your range of motion for an existing should condition, move the seat backward.

Keep your low back neutral as opposed to arching (engaging your core will help maintain proper posture), avoid shrugging your shoulders – keep them down and back, and keep your head and neck neutral.

TRUE Palladium Shoulder Press

TRUE Palladium Shoulder Press

Biomechanics Features:

• Unilateral press arms converge at 20 degrees per side above and forward of the shoulder, allowing a full range of motion to minimize impingement associated with this movement.
• We offer two hand positions to recruit different muscles in the shoulder or allow a safer range of motion.
• The 8-position seat can be adjusted while seated or standing using premium-grade linear bearings and gas cylinder assist for stable, low friction adjustments.
• Unique 4 position adjustable seat back allows users to change the horizontal handle position concerning the shoulder.

Trainer Tip:

• At the bottom position, the handles should be at ear level. Your range of motion preferences or shoulder limitations will determine your start position (For example, lower your seat if you need to limit your ROM).
• Hand placement – press with the lower part of your hand and keep your wrist neutral so that the line of force is in-line with your forearm. Putting your thumbs in the recessed area of the handle helps facilitate this.
• The overhand grip is the standard, but if you have certain shoulder conditions, the neutral grip will allow for better overall alignment of the shoulder to enable you to press overhead pain-free.
• If you need the weight distributed forward of your shoulder, adjust the seatback (if available) or the handles.
• Keep your low back neutral as opposed to arching (engaging your core will help maintain proper posture), and keep your head and neck neutral.

Workout

To target functional upper-body muscles in your next training session, stick to the basics and use the TRUE Palladium Chest Press and Shoulder Press from the TRUE Palladium Series, with this progressive workout:

Chest Press: 4×15,12,10,8 (Increase your weight each set. The last 2-3 reps should be challenging to perform.)

Shoulder Press: 4×10 (Use the same weight in each set. Do a 1-second count up into the press, then count for 3 seconds down from the press. Repeat with each repetition.)
