Tibia (PL-TIB)
| Machine Weight: | lbs. = 52 | kg. = 23.6 |
| Max User Weight: | lbs. = 350 | kg. = 158.8 |
| Starting Resistance: | lbs. = 3 | kg. = 1.4 |
| Total Max Resistance: | lbs. = 75 per side (150 total) | kg. = 20 per side (40 total) |
| Max Plate Capacity*: | 3-25 lb. plates | 2-10 kg. plates |
| Size** (L x W x H): | in. = 34 x 21 x 19 | cm = 86 x 53 x 49 |
| Live Area*** (L x W): | in. = 82 x 57 | cm = 207 x 144 |
Note: *Capacities listed are calculated using a thickness of 1-5/8" for 45lb weight plates
and
48mm for 25 kg weight plates. If your facility uses thicker weight plates, the capacity
may be
reduced.
Note: **Dimensions are without weight plates.
Note: ***Live Area dimensions calculated and shown assuming a weight plate diameter of 46
cm.
- Muscles Used:
- Tibialis Posterior, Flexor Hallucis Longus and Flexor Digitorum Longus
- Setup:
- Load the unit with desired amount of weight to ensure appropriate resistance and secure plates with retaining pin. Insert foot, one at time, toe first into unit so top of foot rests against pad and bottom of foot is planted flat against wear strips. Align ankles with the with the machine pivot (axis of rotation).
- Performing the Exercise:
- With a controlled motion lift up with foot by tilting rearward to nearly full extension. Return the movement arm to the start position and repeat the motion while maintaining proper body positioning.
