Chi Apex Technique requires the trainee to totally focus & concentrate in order to channel maximum mental power (CHI) into recruiting the most muscle fibers for training action.  As a result, physical strength & fitness can be quickly improved in addition to gaining mental calmness & relaxation. Chi Apex employs the basic Tai Chi core principles of deep breathing in conjunction with fluid body motion and mental concentration. While retaining the benefits of the classical Tai Chi, Chi Apex is designed to yield additional fitness goals: Cardio Fitness, Muscle Strength & Toning and Body Flexibility. In conjunction with Computer Technology, Chi Apex Concept is able to monitor the progress of Mental Power and Physical Strength. Chi Apex involves the two most innovative Physical Training Technologies: Asymmetric Training and Plyometric Training

Basic Principle: How It works

Isometric + Isotonic

The most effective & efficient strength training is using weight equipments with the assistance of a spotter who is equipped with all necessary tools to monitor the resistance and speed of the motion, the spotter applies additional load for pre-stretch before each motion, and during both concentric phase and eccentric phase to ensure maximum load (resistance) that matches the trainee maximum capacity through out the range of motion and though out the course of training for each and every repetition of every set, Eccentric load (resistance) to be greater than the generated Concentric load (resistance), and safe training with minimum risk of injury, but the spotter assistance is not easily available. However, if the spotter is the trainee himself, then the expense or trouble in obtaining the spotter assistance can be eliminated, and that is the core idea of this training technique. 

Asymmetric Physical Exercise method wherein two trainee’s body member units apply isometric load against each other directly or indirectly while an additional load referred as bias load from an external source is applied to one of the body member units: the body member units that is subjected to higher load is the trainee while the other is the trainer (or Spotter) body member units.

APPLICATION 1  Asymmetric Mobile Universal Machines For Complete Body Training

Mobile-Universal is a very compact and light weight unit, designed for personal trainers to provide " in home personal training". This unit provides complete body strength and muscle toning training (with Asymmetric & Isotonic techniques). It is designed to be quickly disassembled into four compact Modules, all can be stored and transported in a compact automobile. At Health clubs and Gyms, in conjunction with existing Crossover Machine, Smith Machine, Power Racks and others, it provides all the features offered by our Asymmetric Universal Machine, with a fraction of the cost. For downward load exercises such as Lat machine pull downs, Standing cable press downs, these Mobile Universal Machines employ innovative concept of poles similar to Ski Poles to achieve compactness; however,  vertical extension posts are provided as optional feature to allow all training routines that can be trained with a Lat Cable Machine (As shown in the picture in the box on the right). Machines are designed for a wide range of fitness levels, from super fits to beginners, with special attention in accommodating persons with limited physical mobility or handicapped.

APPLICATION 2  Asymmetric Universal Machines For Complete Body Training

Comprises two independent Universal Stations: Front Universal Station and Rear Universal Station, each provides complete training for whole body:

  • Front Universal Station: utilizes Sway Bar/Cable System to transmit load between body members and weight stack for Bias Load, this concept provides ease for training and is applicable for seniors and handicappers.

  • Rear Universal Station: utilizes Pulley/Cable System to transmit load between body member and Dumb-Bell for Bias Load, this concept emphasizes on enhancing body coordination.

APPLICATION 4  Asymmetric Bar Complete Body Training

Asymmetric Bar Complete Body Training Routines

The disassembled Portable Bar with 5 pounds weight plate just occupies one third of the space in a medium size Gym-bag and the total weight is less than 8 lbs

 

Plyometric Training:

Eccentric>isometric>concentric

Plyometric Training Equipments

The word plyometric is beginning to be replaced by the term “stretch-shortening cycle exercise”. 
This refers to the sequence of: Eccentric>isometric>concentric 
When the sequence of eccentric to concentric action is performed quickly; the muscle is stretched slightly prior to the concentric action. 
The slight stretching stores elastic energy which is added to the normal force developed only by the concentric muscle action. 
The pre-stretch might also result in quicker recruitment of muscle fibers. 
Elastic energy may account for a 30% increase in force production. 
It’s important to introduce stretch-shortening training slowly into the program and keep the volume of training relatively low.
