SmartPress is made of 6 short resistance bands with a total of 70 kg of resistance: 2 x 8 kg (white), 2 x 12 kg (black) and 2 x 15 kg (blue).
Each elastic band measures 16 cm and can stretch up to 5x its initial size, i.e. 80 cm.
A fabric cover surrounds the bands to protect them and to prevent them from stretching more than 5x their original size.
The resistance bands are connected to soft handles, which can be held directly in the hand but can also be used with the SmartWorkout Bar by sliding the bar into the handles.
On the back, the bands are attached to a foam frame, which allows you to lock the bands behind your back comfortably; or lock the bands under your feet without taking the risk that they may slip.
The foam frame is 53 cm long and 12 cm wide.
SmartPress is made of 6 elastic bands with different resistances:
- White: 8 kg each,
- Black: 12 kg each,
- Blue: 15 kg each.
The total maximum resistance is 70 kg, but the bands can be removed to adjust the resistance. Therefore, SmartPress has 7 levels of resistance.
For example, by removing the white bands, the maximum resistance felt is 54 kg.
The maximum resistance is reached when the bands are stretched to 4x their initial size, for example at the end of a chest press movement for most users.
Although the resistance is progressive (low at the beginning of the movement, high at the end of the movement), the maximum resistance is reached quicker because the elastic bands are short.
THE ADVANTAGES OF SMARTPRESS
INTENSITY
MAXIMUM RESISTANCE REACHED SOONER
Although the resistance is progressive, i.e. it increases with the movement, the maximum resistance is felt more quickly thanks to the short size of the elastic bands. In other words, the load felt and therefore the muscular effort is more important than with traditional elastics.
COMFORT
BLOCK THE BANDS WITHOUT HURTING YOUR BACK
The resistance bands are attached to a soft and comfortable foam frame. This allows you to block the bands behind your back without being in direct contact with the elastic tubes, as they may scratch your back, and therefore makes the movement more comfortable.
SAFETY
BLOCK THE BANDS WITHOUT THE RISK OF THEM SLIPPING
The foam frame allows you to lock the resistance bands under your feet more securely. For example, during the seated rowing, standard elastic bands may slip out to your face as they are not locked between your feet and the ground.
