The Vicore Premise - Exercise Bench
Our products are designed around the universal law that; every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Working in conjunction with this irrefutable truth, we have manufactured our line of exercise equipment using time tested and proven methods for increasing strength and building muscle. However, that is where the similarities stop....
A major component of every piece of our gear is a very dynamic component we call the Body Link System. It is an enormously strong membrane, which, when filled with air creates a very unstable surface. It is this instability that causes the user to engage all of their core muscles in order to maintain their balance. Throw in some weights and you have the best formula ever devised for not only building your extremity muscles (shoulders, arms chest, abs and so on) at the same time you are greatly enhancing coordination, balance and agility.
Physical Trainers, Therapist and Physiologist have long known the enormous benefits behind 'working out' on unstable surfaces. Although, until now, using an exercise ball was the only way to achieve this. The Problem is: Exercise balls offer a very limited surface area, making it difficult to perform more than a few different routines.
Exercise balls are very weak, therefore it is not only extremely dangerous to progressively increase the amount of weight being used, but borderline crazy to even attempt to get into a set position with more than a few pounds.
With Vicore you have a full set of machines which offer commercial grade strength and reliability, thus allowing you to do the same exercises you would on traditional benches.
The Vicore Science
Here are some facts about what you will gain by adding Vicore equipment to your workout:
Fact: The Vicore System will cause the average person to reach total muscle fatigue almost 35% faster than with traditional workout platforms.
Fact: You will engage 3 to 4 additional muscle groups when using the Vicore System than you would with regular weight benches, doing the same number of sets.
One of the direct advantages to using the Vicore benches is what physiologists call eccentric training which is the force places on muscles when the weight is being lowered or brought back to its starting position. The more force that can be exerted during this return the faster you reach muscle failure which is the result zone. Using the Vicore System in your training increases this eccentric or negative force.
This increase is the result of the Vicore's unstable and dynamic nature which forces you to maintain your balance during all movements. Holding the body and the weight steady while lowering it, causes the primary muscle not to only work harder but lengthen as well.
Ergonomics
When lifting weights or performing any other training, there are few things more important than technique and proper body positioning. Not having these elements in place is the fastest way to cause injury and counter act progress. It is an interesting fact: there are over 50 companies designing and producing weight machines and exercise benches, yet everyone of them is making them the exact same way, with a layer of foam covered by nagahyde.
Just look at these surfaces, they do not even come close to matching the the human body's natural shape and curves—not good. Now look at the Vicore Body—Link System from the moment you sit or lay down the surface immediately forms exactly to you, supporting every part of you it touches. As you move and shift so does the System, thus dramatically reducing the possibility of injury.
Whether your goal is strength, agility, balance or bulk in or to achieve it you must be able to work out injury free and there is no better way to insure this, than with proper ergonomics and technique.
