The pulley ratio system utilized in gym machines serves to modulate the amount of resistance experienced during exercise. Essentially, it works by adjusting the ratio between the weight on the cable and the resistance felt by the user. For instance, in a 1:1 ratio configuration, if there’s a 50-pound weight on the cable, the user experiences a 50-pound resistance force to overcome. Conversely, with a 2:1 ratio, that same 50-pound weight on the cable feels like only 25 pounds of resistance to the user.
MiM USA has innovatively introduced the Hercules Pro with an adaptable pulley system capable of seamlessly transitioning between these ratios. This system allows users to interchangeably experience both the 1:1 and 2:1 resistance ratios. In essence, it presents a novel piece of strength equipment that caters to diverse workout needs, enabling users to engage in strength-focused exercises with the 1:1 ratio, while also facilitating cardio movements with the 2:1 ratio. For a visual representation and further understanding, please refer to the description of Hercules Pro for more insight.
