TWO IN ONE
The 1650 is the second generation machine featuring the unique “Fixed
or Free Weight Selection System.” The 1600 was a tremendous
hit, and the 1650 promises to be even more popular with many
new innovations, including the cross-chest fly station. First
and foremost, the On-Line 1650 offers a free-weight mode far
superior to any previous system (see at right for details).
In addition, this feature can be easily switched off by selecting
the fixed mode, which offers an unsurpassed natural arc press
motion.
MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE FREE WEIGHT SYSTEM
In fixed-mode pressing, the path of the moving bar is guided,
focusing on isolating the pectoralis muscles (Fig. A)
Free-weight pressing, however, requires the involvement of
secondary, supportive muscles to guide and balance the bar
through-out the lifting action (Fig. B).
LEG/CALF PRESS: Our new
ultra-smooth leg/calf press option provides an effective way
to exercise your quads, glutes and calves. Squat attachments
also available.
This creative multi-position
station transforms quickly from one mode to another and allows
you to perform preacher curls, triceps extensions, abdominal
crunches, leg curls and leg extensions, all in biomechanically
correct form.
The revolutionary cross-chest fly is a tremendous chest exercise
for a couple of reasons. One, YOU determine the path your arms
will take, so you can work the pecs from a variety of angles.
And two, unlike ordinary pulley machines, this unique station
features an ingenious arm-and-cam design which gives you consistent
resistance throughout the repetition, even as your hands cross
each other, providing a tremendous squeeze of the pecs and
surrounding muscles.
In the “free-weight” mode, as you lift the weight
vertically, the weight stack is free to tilt back and forth (controlled
by built-in “spotters”). As with a traditional bar
and plates, YOU control the fore-and-aft motion of the bar, as
you move it vertically.
