F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions about Strength Training

The machines that determine the quality of a fitness center are those that offer impeccable biomechanics in the fundamental movements. These must-haves include the Leg Press, Lat Machine, Chest Press, and Leg Extension/Curl. Rexgym by Kingsgym models stand out for their fluidity of movement and the ability to maintain constant tension throughout the entire range of motion (ROM).

Isotonic (constant tension) machines use a fixed load (weight stack) where the resistance does not change, but the speed of movement is free. Isokinetic machines, on the other hand, maintain a constant speed regardless of the effort applied, adapting the resistance based on the force applied by the user; these machines are primarily used in rehabilitation.

The cables are the heart of the machine's smooth operation. Rexgym uses high-strength braided steel cables coated in self-lubricating nylon. These cables are designed to withstand extreme loads (up to 900-1000 kg breaking point) and ensure quiet, friction-free operation, drastically reducing maintenance.

Weight machines cover the entire body through dedicated stations. There are machines for the upper body (chest, back, shoulders, arms), lower body (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves), and core (abs and lower back). The advantage is the ability to isolate a single muscle group without engaging the stabilizing muscles..

Isotonic exercises are movements in which muscle tension remains constant while the length of the muscle changes. They are divided into the concentric phase (the muscle shortens, e.g., lifting a weight) and the eccentric phase (the muscle lengthens, e.g., controlled return of the weight). They are the basis of bodybuilding and muscle strengthening..
