PRO 6
Multi-Vector Training System
The Pro 6 (V6 PLUS) adds a Tracking System around the perimeter of the training mat to allow the 5th and 6th bands to be position at more than 40 positions around the mat!  This allows for more sports specific training exercises and allows the athlete to conduct important training exercises off the platform! 

The Pro 6 (V6Plus) is an upgrade to the Standard 6 (V6). It contains the same additional 5th and 6th resistance cord on the surface of the platform, however the two rotating pulley assemblies can now slide on a tracking system around half of the mat's perimeter.  This enables coaches and trainers to select a wide variety of anchor points for the 5th and 6th resistance cords. As the photo on the left indicates, the red resistance bands have been anchored behind the athlete as opposed to the side of the athlete as shown with the Standard 6 photo.

The pulleys can be anchored at more than 40 different locations, each providing a new resistance vector that can be applied to the athlete. This capability allows athletes to train against the most appropriate vectors for their specific sports position requirements. This feature further improves training results by stimulating more efficient performance enhancement adaptations that transfer more effectively to the field of play. All exercises that could be done on the Standard 6 can also be done on the Pro 6.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY - The athlete can now conduct sports specific acceleration drills off the platform!

Training Benefit:
The Pro 6 has all the training benefits of the Standard 6 unit.  It has the additional advantage of creating 40 more resistance vectors than the Standard 6 Unit to create more sports specific training drills.  The movable pulley system for the 5th and 6th resistance bands also allows the athletes to conduct speed enhancing training drills off the platform.  

Number of Resistance Bands and Resistance Settings
The Pro 6 has six resistance bands - two emerging from the left side of the platform, two emerging from the right side of the platform and two bands routed on the top side of the platform that can be positioned to more than 40 different locations around the mat. The resistance of each of the six  cords can be individually adjusted to suit the user's needs by extracting the cords out of the machine through the resistance adjustment cam cleats.    

Primary On-Platform Exercises:
1) Vertical Jump Training (Quarter Quick or Half Quick) - Many sports-specific explosive exercises can be performed but our "Basic Training Routine" consisting of 'Quarter Quick' and 'Half Quick' explosive jumps will produce immediate and outstanding improvements in an athlete's time out of the blocks, his vertical jump, and  his 40 times! 

2) Hip Flexor Training - This rarely trained muscle group is imperative for improving speed.  VertiMax allows you to isolate and develop the explosive power of this muscle in each leg to optimally improve speed. One set of Hip Flexor Attachments come standard with each Pro 6, and can be used to perform exercises such as running in place, thigh drives, and other sports specific movements which will markedly improve thigh recovery time for sprinters, skaters, running backs, etc.

3) Vertical Jump Training with Arm Loading - Athlete can attach resistance cords to both the waist and the hands for an improved jump training response. The patented Vertimax (Standard 6, Pro 6 & Elite 8) is the only system available that simultaneously loads the legs and arm swing when vertical jump training.  This capability recognizes the importance of obtaining maximum upward arm velocity at liftoff to achieve break-through new heights in an athlete's vertical jump. This V6 eclipses weight vest training  and standard plyometric training inasmuch as the delts, traps, and spinal erectors also experience controlled loading for strength development while performing naturally sequenced sports movements.  One set of Hand Straps come standard with the V6. n addition to the arm loading during vertical jump training, the photos above show multiple loading applied during the running motion.  Here, the quads, gluts, hip flexor and calves are loaded for superior drive and acceleration (with bands attached to the hips and using the hip flexor attachment - behind the knees).  It's well known that arm swing speed and leg movement are tied together - the faster you move your arms, the faster you can move your legs. This resistive training methodology integrates all major muscle groups to provide the optimal training response for speed and first-step-quickness.

4) Kick Training - Athletes can attach the 5th and 6th resistance cords to their feet and perform kicking drills to improve kicking power and distance. 

5) Volleyball Blocking Training - The athlete may turn around 180 degrees with respect to the photo above and attach bands 5 & 6 to their hands so the resistance bands pull straight down on the hands.  When a volleyball player blocks at the net they can not use a traditional looping arm swing or their hands will strike the net causing a net foul.  The VertiMax V6Plus allows a blocker to apply resistance to the hands while tucked closely to the body.  Now the blocker can simulate a more natural blocking motion at the net while training the legs and arms to develop more explosive power for higher elevation.   Again the imagination is the limit when you have 6 resistance bands to work with and 44 independent training vectors to select from.

Primary Off-Platform Exercises:  
1) Acceleration Drills - The athlete can attach the 5th and/or 6th resistance band to one or both feet and conduct acceleration drills up to 20 feet from the platform.  Athletes may also choose to attach the 5th and 6th resistance band to one foot and the waist while conducting acceleration drills away from the platform.  The athlete can only conduct off platform training when the 5th and/or  6th cords are attached.
