Once mounted to a squat rack, wall, or other sturdy anchor point, an internal motor can generate up to 200 lbs. of resistance through an 8.5-ft. cable (accessories including handles, bars, and harnesses are available). An LCD touchscreen lets users toggle between different strength-training modes, to imitate using resistance bands or traditional weights. The battery-powered smart device can adjust in real-time to make each rep harder or easier based on how much force you use.
