Coach Ed Vincent at Altadore has “improved” the basic Ring machine over the years.
This is a device that reduces your body weight by about 50% using a pulley system.
It’s great fun, for sure. And helps with specific conditioning for some strength parts.
Ed’s most recent innovation is to add a spring on to the main pulley cable. He hopes to “soften” the bottom of the swing on giants.
If you’ve never seen a Ring Machine before, here’s a funny video showing how they work.
