The 3129 is more versatile than it might first appear. Take a stance on the horizontal or angled diamond plate foot platforms, then perform squats safely and securely. Reduce the weight and do leaps to build explosive power. Pull up a bench or box and do shoulder presses. Slide the Calf Blaster over the platform and tippy toe your way to stronger sprints.
The chain and sprocket system prevents the weight from bouncing or accelerating faster than the user, making this piece ideal for not only traditional squats, but also jump squats! Add explosive acceleration and deceleration training to controlled compound movements for a safe approach to huge gains in sprinting power and jumping ability.
Features include two Olympic-sized, chrome-plated weight pegs that are 12.5 inches in length (should be able to hold at least six plates per side, depending on who made them and whether they are coated) and transverse handles mounted outside of the shoulder padding. Sliding, solid steel pegs allow for three different starting heights. Extreme heavy-duty chain and cogs are pre-greased for smooth operation.
Unloaded, the weight resistance on this machine is 40lbs.
