Abstract
Assisted unracking of digital resistance includes detecting a state of a cable. A motor is mechanically coupled to the cable to provide resistance during an exercise by tensioning the cable. It further includes determining a readiness of the user to accept resistance based at least in part on the detected state of the cable. It further includes selectively applying resistance by the motor to the cable according to the determined readiness of the user to accept the resistance.
