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.
