Dynamic Resistance Machine

## The Evolution of Weight Training

Choosing weights and keeping track of your progression has been the same for many, many years. You try to remember what weights you did last time, fail, and try to do something that feels "kind of heavy". Our dynamic resistance machine sets out to change this precedence, taking the burden of these mundane and out-of-date processes off your shoulders. No more writing weights down in your notebook, collecting three different dumbbell weights near your bench, or taking plates on and off the bar. The future of weight training is efficient, seamless, and effective. The future of weight training is now.

### Cable Resistance Training

Let's start with the basics. Why did we chose cable resistance for our next-generation weight training?

1. Versatility: Cable machines offer a wide range of exercises that can target different muscle groups. You can perform exercises for your arms, legs, chest, back, and core, all on the same machine.
2. Constant Tension: Unlike free weights, cable machines provide constant tension on the muscles throughout the entire range of motion. This can lead to better muscle engagement and growth.
3. Controlled Movement: Cable machines help control the exercise movement better, reducing the risk of injury that might come from incorrect form or technique.
4. Functional Strength: Our cable exercises involve natural and functional movements compared to more isolated exercises done with free weights. This can translate into better performance in activities, sports, and daily life.
5. Improved Balance and Stability: Our cable exercises require you to stand and stabilize your body, which can help improve your overall balance and core strength.
6. Range of Motion: Cables allow for a greater range of motion compared to some traditional weight-lifting equipment. This can lead to improved flexibility and joint health.

### Many Exercises, One Machine

Now let's dive into what makes our resistance machines so unique. Our machine is designed to work seamlessly and cohesively with our game in order to allow you, the hero, to use your body as the controller. The machine responds, articulates, and adjusts automatically to each chosen workout in-game to allow our heroes to get safe, controlled, and effective exercises every time. Did you begin to configure chest press, but strategy now warrants an overhead press? No problem, just chose overhead press in VR and presto! EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SETUP the machine will re-adjust towards the new desired exercise. This includes the adjustments of two motorized handles that can move up and down to the required height as well as a bench pad in the middle of the machine that can extend to various heights in order to provide necessary support for standing rows and chest press, two of our current eight different exercises. You can see the machine configure for your exercise happen in-game, while immersed in virtual reality, so you never have to take off your headset or adjust anything manually.

### AI Driven Weight Progression

This brings us to the secret sauce of the Black Box VR dynamic resistance machine...weight adjustment driven by artificial intelligence. Remember when we said you were done with remembering weights and hauling dumbbells around the gym? We were serious. Our system tracks and adjusts your weights automatically and saves it to YOUR SPECIFIC PROFILE. This gives you an insanely personalized workout, every time, regardless of your workout experience or fitness level. It creates challenging, but achievable exercise progression to get you amazing results.

The resistance levels during and after your VR workout are adjusted automatically based on your performance. The system uses sophisticated algorithms to track how well you're performing in real-time and adjusts the resistance accordingly. This means that as you get stronger and more fit, the machine will increase the resistance to ensure that your workouts continue to be effective. Don't worry, if you took a short break or vacation, it can also decrease the weights so you can stay at the optimal difficulty for strengthening your body. This strategy is much safer and more controlled than traditional weight training, minimizing risk for injury.
