 Description:

Thanks to this machine, the abductor muscles of the legs, as well as some portions of the glutes, are developed effectively in a position offering maximum safety and comfort.

The cams minimise the effort at the beginning and end of the exercise, allowing for a constant tension throughout the entire movement.

The comfortable push pads and the stabilising handles make this machine appreciated especially by female users, to strengthen and tone up the outer thigh.

 Description:

Raises on tiptoe on the calf machine are an exercise which should be learnt and performed well, to avoid any stress to the spine. The muscles affected are the gastrocnemius muscles (twins), musculus soleus, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis and the plantaris.

The shoulder pad can be adjusted according to the user's height and the two handgrips allow for a concentration work; the feet should be positioned so that the metatarsal heads of the feet rest on the front half of the footplate.

The fibres of the gastrocnemius muscle require heavy weights and few repetitions to be developed: in fact, thanks to its special structure, the FI 27 machine is fitted with a weight stack that makes it suitable for all types of conditioning.

 Description:

When performing the plantar flexion exercise on the seated calf machine, the user prevalently uses the musculus soleus. The fibres of the musculus soleus, unlike those of the gastrocnemius muscle, are tough but not powerful, thus requiring a high number of repetitions with light weights.

The load rollers and seat are height-adjustable.

The easy access lever enables comfortable positioning, so that the metatarsal heads of the user's feet rest on the front half of the footplate.

The lateral positioning of the counterweights allows for the load to be selected directly from the workout position.

 Description:

On this machine, too, just like on the DONKEY MACHINE, the weight is applied on the pelvis and the only free joint is the ankle, while the effort is concentrated on the gastrocnemius muscle, even though the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis intervene, along with the tibialis posterior and the plantaris.

The height of the rest carriage assembly can be adjusted according to the user's height and features linear bearings. 

The two handgrips on the carriage assembly ensure a comfortable and stable position.

The careful counterbalancing also ensures the user only works with the load actually selected, without weighing down the grip handle.

 Description:

This machine features the same technical characteristics as the corresponding counterweight machine, the only difference being the direct load enabled by free weight plates.

The simplicity of this machine does not limit its excellent operation in any way: the special weight-bearing rods situated on the lateral machine uprights allow for the necessary quantity of weight plates to be at hand at all times and the end-limit shock absorber prevents sudden interruptions to the exercise.

 Description:

The extension of the foot performed with the knees straight is vital for the development of the calf muscle. The range of movement of an ankle is rather restricted, making it important for the effort to be applied constantly. In the traditional exercise performed on the FI 27, the weight is rested on the shoulders and is distributed onto various joints (spinal column, pelvis, knees etc.) which are free to move. This is why it is highly likely that the effort is lost and cancelled in stabilising and synergic movements. On the other hand, in a position with the torso bent, which is the position obtained on the DONKEY MACHINE, the weight is applied on the pelvis and the only free joint is the ankle, whereas the effort is concentrated on the calves only.

The DONKEY MACHINE therefore reproduces in the utmost safety the donkey raise exercise that used to be performed with the help of a seated crouching companion. The carriage assembly pelvic pad can be adjusted according to different starting degrees; the user's arms rest on a comfortable pad fitted with a handle that stabilises the user during the effort.

The carriage assembly travels by means of linear bearings and the lateral positioning of the counterweights allows for the load to be selected directly from the workout position.

 Description:

This machine works on the quadriceps (vastus medialis, intermedialis and lateralis), the glutes, sartorius muscle, femoral rectus of the quadriceps and the calf muscles. This exercise is usually reserved for fit athletes, even though the special backrest with a handgrip on either side increases the stability and protection of the dorsal-lumbar spine.

The pre-load lever and carriage assembly automatic releasing device allow for a smooth starting position with the legs semi-stretched and the special rods placed on the carriage assembly (travelling on linear bearings along steel bars 30 mm in diameter) allow the user to add weight plates to the standard counterweights.

The large footplate is tilt-adjustable, according to the flexibility of the user's ankles.

DIMENSIONS Length =cm 225 Width  =cm       135 Height =cm 205 Weight =kg 335 Approx. Weight kg 225

 Description:

This machine users a direct load provided by free weight plates and allows the user to perform the leg bend on a tilted plane and with the spinal column resting on it, working on the quadriceps (vastus medialis, intermedialis and lateralis), the glutes, the sartorius, femoral rectus of the quadriceps and the calf muscles.

The special backrest fitted with a handgrip on either side increases the stability and protection of the dorsal-lumbar spine.

The simplicity of this machine does not limit its excellent operation in any way: the carriage assembly travels by means of linear bearings along sturdy 30 mm hardened steel rods, the large footplate is tilt-adjustable, the special weight-bearing rods situated on the lateral machine uprights allow for the necessary quantity of weight plates to be at hand at all times, and the two end-limit shock absorbers prevent sudden interruptions to the exercise.

DIMENSIONS Length =cm 165 Width  =cm       85 Height =cm 185 Weight =kg 140 Approx. Weight kg 50

 Description:

The special downward inclination of the bench avoids the tension of the lower back and allows for the isolation of the femoral, semimembranous and semitendinous biceps muscles.

It is vital that the articular joint of the knee coincides with the machine's mechanical joint centre and that the user adjusts the push roller so that it rests on the distal part of the legs.

If the user keeps his/her feet flexed (toes pointing towards the floor and the foot at a right angle with the leg), the calf muscles will not be affected, whereas if the toes are pointing inwards, the semimembranous and semitendinous muscles are developed more; on the contrary, if the toes are pointing outwards, the femoral biceps will be affected.

The cam allows for constant tension throughout the entire movement and the counterbalancing allows the user to perform the exercise with the load actually selected.

The two handgrips placed horizontally at the base of the machine avoid stress to the lumbar area and the lateral positioning of the counterweights allows for a rapid change in load without having to get off the machine.

DIMENSIONS Length =cm 165 Width  =cm       95 Height =cm 185 Weight =kg 150 Approx. Weight kg 50

 Description:

This machine allows for the flexing-extending movement of the knee to strengthen the quadriceps femoris, which is the biggest and most powerful muscle in the body and is divided into four heads: vastus medialis, intermedialis and lateralis and femoral rectus. In the seated position the femoral rectus is not affected significantly.

The cam allows for a constant tension throughout the entire movement, and the starting angle of the latter can be selected on a special device. Equally, the height of the push roller can be adjusted as well as the position of the backrest so that the articular joint of the knee coincides with the machine's mechanical joint centre.

The counterbalancing makes the machine just as effective when using light loads and the lateral position of the counterweights allows for a rapid change in load without having to get out of the workout position.

 Description:

Featuring the same technical characteristics as the FI 264, this machine has the prerogative of using the direct load given by free weight plates. The simplicity of this machine does not limit its excellent operation in any way: the carriage assembly travels by means of linear bearings along sturdy 40 mm hardened steel bars.

The large footplate allows the user to perform exercises for the quadriceps, glutes, adductor muscles, the sartorius, calves and femoral muscles without overloading the back.

The handrails on the carriage assembly make it easier for the user to get on and off the machine and allow for a training companion to help in the event of maximal loads.

The special weight-bearing rods situated on the lateral machine uprights allow for the necessary quantity of weight plates to be at hand at all times.

The two end-limit shock absorbers prevent sudden interruptions to the exercise.

DIMENSIONS Length =cm 270 Width  =cm       100 Height =cm 205 Weight =kg 335 Approx. Weight kg 150

 Description:

With this machine, the user can perform a basic exercise for legs, involving the major muscle groups: the quadriceps, glutes, adductors, sartorius, calves and femoral muscles.

The large footplate allows the user to emphasise the workout on the glutes and femoral muscles by positioning his/her feet towards the top part, or on the quadriceps instead, by positioning them towards the inside, and the two handrails help him/her onto and off the machine.

The pre-load lever allows for a smooth starting position with the user's legs stretched.

The headrest is adjustable, thus allowing each user to adjust his/her position so that the glutes are resting well against the seat; equally, the inclination of the backrest can be adjusted according to the user's training needs and height.

Once the user is positioned on the machine, he/she only need rotate the safety catch on the carriage assembly to begin the flexing-extending movement of the lower limbs in complete safety.

The two handles placed on either side of the seat stabilise the user during the exercise and the special rods on the carriage assembly allow him/her to add plates to the standard counterweights.
