Benefits of technology
[0008] In this further refinement of the principle of providing a simple exercise device, practical for home use, yet strong enough for use by the most accomplished of athletes, this static contraction system reduces the number of moving parts dramatically over previous designs. This reduction in number of moving parts reduces the effects of friction on the design at low weights, and increases the stability at high loads.
Problems solved by technology
Although the prior art may successfully perform their intended functions, none of them provide a training device that provides for achieving ideal static contraction.

Embodiment Construction
[0021] As mentioned above, Static Contraction Training involves working with the maximum amount of weight possible through the strongest portion of a muscle's particular range of motion. The present invention includes solutions to the problems that are inherent with this approach. Namely, the present invention contemplates the use of a metered resistance device and the method of using it. Such devices and methods are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 624,788 filed Jul. 22, 2003 and hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0022] The features retained from the initial design are the incremental lock in positioning with close spacing, which is a unique requirement of static contraction training due to the heavy loads, and the high sensitivity to positioning for getting an ideal exercise.
[0023] The new additional working features over the initial design are as follows: [0024] 1. All in one capabilities of both leg press and upper body workouts due to the wheels...

The ideal static contraction device of the present invention comprises a system designed to provide safe, reliable, accurate, and efficient exercise options to individuals of all fitness levels. The device includes the rigidity and strength necessary to provide static contraction exercise capabilities able to withstand forces eight times greater than the force generated by the strongest human. The device also includes the versatility to be used at home or at a specialized fitness center through its transformable design features.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application No. 10 / 624,788 filed Jul. 22, 2003.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates generally to the field of health and fitness, and more particularly to a device for achieving maximum fitness levels through static contraction. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] The health and fitness field is replete with theories and programs and devices designed to improve the overall health and fitness of individuals. The traditional method of moving weighted objects through a range of motion to achieve an increase in musculature has been augmented by competing fitness routines. One example, known as Static Contraction Training, focuses only on that portion of a range of motion that is strongest within that range. In a traditional bench press exercise, that strongest range of motion may include the area short of where the arm...
