How does the range of resistance compare to a traditional cable machine?Updated 8 months ago

Traditional cable machines are designed at 2:1 or 4:1 ratios using pulleys or levers to achieve a mechanical advantage. For example, using a 2:1 pulley cable machine, the 130 lbs plate is approximately equivalent to 65 lbs of force required. The ANCORE uses resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio, so the resistance on the plates is equal to what you'd experience during a workout.
