The weight is not loading properly.

An express guide to help you meet the selected load.

If the machine is not reaching (or loading up to) the weight you have selected, revise whether your movement tempo/pace is correct for the Training Mode and/or Advanced Add-On you have selected.

This article is a quick how-to-move guide so that you can get back to your workout promptly.

For a more comprehensive understanding of the Training Modes and Advanced Add-Ons, you can discover why they have been designed this way in the article: The training modes explained.

Non Adaptive Training Mode


Old School

Non-adaptive mode

How to meet the selected load: Move within your range-of-motion.
Decrease the load by: N/A (non-adaptive)
Increase the load by: N/A (non-adaptive)
The machine will 'spot' you and deload: If you move below the bottom of your calibrated range-of-motion.

 

Adaptive Training Modes


Time Under Tension

An adaptive mode

How to meet the selected load: Move at a slow and controlled tempo.
Decrease the load by: Pausing at the bottom of your range-of-motion.
Increase the load by: Pausing at the top of your range-of-motion.
The machine will 'spot' you and deload: If you move fast.
Detailed concentric tempo:
  • Deload between 250mm/s and 350mm/s
  • Load between 450mm/s and 600mm/s
Detailed eccentric tempo:
  • Deload between -550mm/s and -500mm/s
  • Load between -100mm/s and -50mm/s

Pump mode

An adaptive mode

How to meet the selected load: Move at a fast pace.
Decrease the load by: Pausing at the bottom of your range-of-motion.
Increase the load by: Pausing at the top of your range-of-motion.
The machine will 'spot' you and deload: If you move slow.
Detailed concentric tempo:
  • Deload between 50mm/s and 450mm/s
  • Load between 500mm/s and 600mm/s
Detailed eccentric tempo:
  • Deload between -700mm/s and -550mm/s
  • Load between -100mm/s and -50mm/s

Eccentric Only

An adaptive mode, adding load at the downward part of your exercise.

How to meet the selected load for the eccentric phase (downward phase):

Pause at the top of your range-of-motion.
The machine will successfully deload for the concentric phase (upward phase): If you meet the bottom of your range-of-motion successfully.

 

Advanced Add-Ons


Progression

An adaptive add-on

Increase the load by: Pause at the top of your range-of-motion.
Decrease the load by: Pause at the bottom of your range-of-motion.
