STRIVE's patented adjustable cam technology is
the first breakthrough in strength training in over 30
years!
The
Smart Strength™ technology stimulates more muscle
fiber in less time and allows users to continually break
through plateaus to reach previously unattainable
results.
An
adjustable cam allows the muscle to be
worked more completely through the stimulation of
additional muscle fibers.
When
a user has special requirements due
to injury, in-activity or individualized training goals,
the adjustable cam can easily accommodate
these circumstances. Due to the unique ability to work
pinpointed areas of weakness within the muscle, the
adjustable cam also significantly reduces the risk
of injury.
With
STRIVE, the user experiences change in each of the
three sets - in the load, in the muscle where they feel
the weight and in the exercise motion. Changing the
force of the weight enables the user to achieve maximum
muscle fiber recruitment resulting in a more complete
workout in less time. Breaking down the muscle fiber to
incremental units is a tremendous advantage when
training for pre or post rehabilitation, sport-specific,
or even general conditioning since it can also cause
neuromuscular confusion, which stimulates the body to
grow and to improve.

STRIVE, when positioned in the 1st Set
position offers all of the physiological benefits of
traditional strength training equipment. In the
Set
#1 position, the user feels a relatively normal
resistance, as this set is closest to traditional
machines. With Set #1, as the user moves through
the exercise motion, the weight starts off light, gets
heavier in the middle and then gets
lighter again towards the end. This position targets the
muscle fibers in the middle part of the muscle in
the same way as all other traditional equipment.
The
user will feel the STRIVE difference when shifting the
adjustable cam to Set #2.
Set # 2
overloads at the end of the
exercise. As the user moves through the exercise motion,
the weight will continue to get heavier.
Change the cam one more time to
Set #3, and the
overload is felt at the beginning of the
motion, starting heavy and then getting easier through
the rest of the exercise.
Upon
completion of three successful sets of equal repetitions
with the same weight, it’s time for the user to increase
the weight.
Improved
endurance is created as the technique of sequentially
fatiguing the central hypertrophy (the middle of the
muscle), the end of the range of motion (insertion
point) and the beginning of the range of motion (origin
point) requires elevated heart rate support. With high
intensity circuit training utilizing an adjustable cam,
fewer repetitions are needed to reach desired goals and
workout intensity. Best of all, circuit training with
STRIVE is as easy as 1-2-3!
