Benefits

Unconstrained by weights, the BLAST! System allows the training resistance to vary dynamically across the range-of-motion.  BLAST! creates resistance profiles to match each user’s unique strength curve and automatically elevates these profiles during the stronger eccentric phase to more optimally overload the muscle.

BLAST! users benefit from:

  • Accelerated Strength and Power Gains
  • Increased Protection from Injury
  • Improved Force Control and Steadiness

Move Beyond the Limits of Weights

Muscular force may vary by a factor of two or three across the range-of-motion of an exercise. By training with the constant resistance of weights, the body is “under-trained” for much of a repetition.  This deficiency is even worse during the critical eccentric phase where the muscles are considerably stronger. Such training is inefficient and the resulting strength gains are limited.
Now there is a better way to train.

Introducing the BLAST!™ System

BLAST!™ is a revolutionary motor-driven strength training system with a real-time graphical force feedback display.

It enables users to train with personalized variable resistance tailored to match their individual strength curves.  Unlike weights, BLAST!  allows the resistance to vary dynamically across the range-of-motion so muscles receive the appropriate level of challenge through the entire repetition. 

More importantly, BLAST! automatically elevates the resistance during the critical negative or eccentric phase of the lift where the user is considerably stronger. 

The result is an efficient, concentrated workout with numerous advantages over weights, including:
  • Accelerated strength and power gains
  • Increased protection from injury
  • Improved force control and steadiness.
With a central processor at its core and a touch-screen control panel, BLAST! also offers unprecedented control over exercise protocols and access to performance data.  


Feel the Difference


Try BLAST! and feel the difference.
  • Feel The Challenge during the positive stroke – no coasting through the stronger region of the lift.
  • Feel The Intensity during the negative stroke where the muscles are worked eccentrically unlike free weights or any other machine.
  • Feel The Results - accelerated strength gains and reduced DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) during other activities.
