@lazur1: It records, among other things, the total amount of mechanical work performed during the set. So if you do, say, three reps and produce 1,000 units of mechanical work (force X distance) in one set, and a week later produce 1,200 units of mechanical work in those same three reps, you're stronger. You could also compare peak levels of torque or your average rate of mechanical work in sessions from week to week. There are different ways to track progress based on varying goals.

@MRDOLCE247 So are these units in any Chicago gyms yet?

@xanthromera: the production model has a screen that you're looking at as you do the exercise. It measures the total torque that you're producing against the movement arm. At then end you can compare your torque through the range of movement to that of previous workouts. In the same way that you progress with conventional equipment (more weight or more reps or both), you progress hear when you're able to press more strongly against the machine. If not, you know to add more days of rest.

@MRDOLCE247 (Why is your post marked as spam?) Does the meter record the entire set? i understand that watching the #s -during- the set is good feedback, but if all you get afterwards is a max # or an average #, tracking progress could be confusing.

Too easy to fool yourself that you are maximally contracting. How do you measure progress?

Particularly if that was a paying client.
Yes -- cute kid.

I know that traditionally resisted slow reps must keep times fast enough to avoid neural "ratcheting", but I'd think that segmented movement wouldn't be an issue with this technology. If I'm right, couldn't the machine be set for just -one- very long negative? Wouldn't it be more efficient to eliminate the "unweighted" 1/2-rep?
