I agree, until we get to the point where longevity and reliability are near the same. Tonal seems like a great light option but other than weight/movement limitations, it's just a matter of time before a better option comes out. Too much tech that can fail as well, taking down the entire system. And... resale isn't going to be easy ever, and probably depreciated greatly vs. iron as the technology ages.

[@Christopherbever]

I worked as a trainer for ARX back in its early days! There is nothing that compares to how much muscle fatigue it makes. It has a ton of rehab potential as well. We would have clients who couldn’t perform the free weight version of a movement but could completely pain free do the same motion on the ARX. Glad to see the boys getting some notice! Thanks coop!

[@SamFreedom]

How about w pre surgery carpal tunnel?

[@lazur1]

I can understand the value for rehab, since the subject can exert as little effort as is comfortable. As far as the deeper fatigue for strength/muscle training, is that necessarily better? When one trains to failure on MedX, they can no longer move the set weight; call that '100'. ARX allows the subject to keep working at '99' to '0'; there's no such thing as failure, (unless one's insane enough to not be able to move AT ALL). I'd think this'd require more days off than usual, thus negating the effect of the deeper fatigue. There's also the matter of functioning in 'real life' after the workout. Deeper fatigue than what's done with MedX could have a negative effect on work & recreation.

Isokinetics have been used mainly in research for quite a few years. I could see this used in a clinical setting in a cool way. A good way to objective data and train patients the most efficient way

[@lazur1]

The definition of isokinetics, speed-based resistance, is too broad to account for the developments in its technology. Early isokinetics required the subject to move quickly to register effort; the faster one moved, the higher the effort. A moderate, not-all-that-slow rep wouldn't turn the machine on. Modern isokinetic machines use large motors, w/power to hold a constant speed that can't be overcome by any human. The attempt to speed the positive rep, & stop the negative, along w/a computerized monitor, allows the subject,(if they put forth their full effort), to see their available strength throughout every inch of every rep. The strength one has when near extension, (positive & negative), on the first rep of an ARX leg press is astounding, possible NO other way.

The virtue of ARX can also be a downside: Accommodating resistance allows the user to finish a set, no matter how little strength they have left; IE: there is no failure. The user has gone past what'd be failure w/an objective resistance. Thus, over-training's a possibility.

13:43 the scene cutted out, but i hope you did put down those weights

[@bigshrek6364]

That Torque rep asking all the hard questions!!

There are some smart gyms like Tonal or VitruvianForm that use the same idea of magntic resistance (so called digital weights) and they cost around ten times less. This ARX is definitely more commercial grade with heavy duty quality grade which is overkill for home gym.

[@SolomonMagnus819]

The ARX didn’t seem to let you get full ROM and get that chest squeeze. Maybe it is good for power but not for hypertrophy

[@matthewcordeiro2073]

The Arx with the slow movements, sounds like they are trying to bring back the slow training of Arthur jones and the nautiluses equipment.

[@Aakash.Singh1]

An Olympic barbell, calibrated metal plates (my preference), an adjustable bench and a power rack is all that you need to build strength. Chase strength, aesthetics will follow suit. Don't need fancy equipments and technology

[@craigjomaia]

You don't NEED running shoes to run or a car to get to work either but they can certainly help.

[@Aakash.Singh1]

@@craigjomaia I think you misunderstood what I said. I didn't said you don't need anything. I said you NEEDED an Olympic barbell and some free weights. The same could be said about cars and shoes. You can get the work done in $30 shoes and a second hand Toyota too. You don't need fancy shoes like Air Jordans and fancy cars like Lamborghini

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

That arx is siiiiccckkkk!!!!
