OVERVIEW Flywheel Training Flywheel training uses the forces generated from a concentric muscle action to impart rotation into a flywheel. This results in greater inertial forces that must be decelerated by the user creating an eccentric overload. versapulley.com...
Page 12
VersaPulley accomplishes this in all 3 planes of motion using a rotating conical flywheel for resistance. You pull against the flywheel followed by the flywheel pulling back against you.
Page 13
Why the Cone? VersaPulley uses a conical flywheel rather than a disc flywheel. The cone shape causes a change in the geometry of the flywheel as it spins to match the pull force to the user’s ability. Unlike a disc flywheel, as a movement is performed during...
ADJUSTMENTS There are four types of adjustments that can be made on the Wall Mounted VersaPulley: 1. Height – Adjusting vertical distance from ground. 2. Range of Motion – Adjusting rope length. 3. Speed Range – Adjusting rope up or down the cone.
Adjust the rope so it is taut at the end position of the exercise. The end position is when the handle is furthest away from the VersaPulley. IMPORTANT You may need to loosen the Velcro®...

Speed Range 1 is easier to turn than the smaller gear of Speed Range 3. At the same speed of movement, the inertia (force) on Speed Range setting 1 will be lower than if the Speed Range was set to 3. versapulley.com...
Flywheel, then a weight must be added to position 4 on the right side of the Flywheel. CAUTION: Ensure weights are added or removed in opposing pairs. To add the weight, screw weight clockwise into the numbered based until hand tight. versapulley.com...

Removing weights creates faster speeds and lower forces. In general, very fast sport functional training uses a minimum of weights. Regardless of the Speed and Load Range settings, pulling as fast as possible will create the maximal force that you are capable of at that speed. versapulley.com...
Standing One Arm Row Stand in a split stance facing the VersaPulley. Shorten or lengthen the rope so the rope is taut when hand is in the end-position of the exercise.

Decelerate the flywheel after your last repetition and wait for the flywheel to stop moving. Notice the difference in how the movement feels between a Speed Range of 1 and a Speed Range of 3. versapulley.com...

The inertia at this setting creates a large eccentric overload For most applications you will find the Speed Range setting of 1 provides the broadest versatility. Changes in the Load Range can be made to increase or decrease inertia. View more VersaPulley exercises: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUIDhGXY7Lcn1IaHc kUdC_aAMZOHXdCvt versapulley.com...

• Replace rope if the external braid is cut through or worn through to the core. NOTE: The rope used on the Portable VersaPulley is a high quality mountain climbing grade rope. It has a tensile strength of over 1,500 pounds and is expected to last for years.

• Pull the rope through the bottom pulley so you have around 4 feet (1.2m) of rope extending from it. • Tilt the VersaPulley to an upright position then measure and mark 24 inches (60 cm) from the end of the rope.
SmartCoach™ Compatibility– optional upgrade If you purchase a VersaPulley with an IPU there is a plug-in port on the IPU to a SmartCoach device. If you purchase a VersaPulley without an IPU and want to use a SmartCoach device you will need to purchase the optional sensor from VersaPulley.
The SmartCoach software comes pre-configured for VersaPulley exercises along with free weights and other devices making it a all-in-one training monitoring environment.
