Fly
The Machine
Range of Motion Adjustment - The VR2 Fly
eliminates the most hazardous characteristic of
traditional fly machines, the danger of exces-
sive stretch. It accomplishes this by providing
an adjustable starting position that, when pre-
set to the individual user's structure/mechanics,
also serves as a range of motion limit.
"Virtual Pivot" Axis - The lever arms (han-
dles/arm pads) are placed on a second axis.
This allows the lever arms to "float" toward or
away from the user as the fly motion is per-
formed. This solves three problems inherent to
traditional fly machines. 1) It eliminates the
tendency of the pads to "roll" or "scoot" on the
arms because 2) it eliminates the need to
perfectly align the primary pivots with the user's
shoulder width (a design and manufacturing challenge that is virtually impossible due to the
variety of user sizes), and 3) it eliminates the discomfort and limitations associated with the
spectrum of user arm lengths and chest thicknesses.
Variable Resistance - The cam provides appropriately varying resistance that matches the
strength curve of the associated muscles performing this motion in the defined position.
10 to 205 Pounds by Fives - The top plate provides a minimum weight of pounds.
Subsequent plates in the weight stack are twenty pounds each. Three "slide-on" five pound
incremental plates are securely positioned for easy access and effortless addition thereby
providing 10 to 205 pounds in five pound increments.
