Home gym machine Samson-fit Strong

Design features of the Samson-fit Strong home gym machine (Home gym machine Samson-fit Strong) with a bench press for static training using the metal chain tension method, widely used by Alexander Zass. Main purpose and functions performed

The Samson-fit Strong Home gym machine (Samson-fit Strong Home gym machine) is a versatile device for static and strength training using metal chain tension. Unlike the Samson-fit Standard model, the Samson-fit Strong design is additionally equipped with a bench press, which significantly expands the list of exercises performed and makes the simulator especially in demand among power sports enthusiasts and professionals, primarily powerlifters.

The simulator combines Alexander Zass's static training methods with the ability to perform bench press exercises, ensuring the development of maximum strength, strength endurance, muscle stabilization and strengthening of the tendon-ligament apparatus.

Design features of the Samson-fit Strong
1. Reinforced platform

The construction is based on a sturdy 1200×400×50 mm platform made of wood or high-strength multilayer plywood.

Platform Characteristics:

Parameter Value Material
Platform length 1200 mm Wood or plywood
Platform width 400 mm Wood or plywood
Platform height 50 mm Wood or plywood

The platform provides:

- structural stability;
- uniform load distribution;
- secure fixation of chains and neck;
- safe performance of high-intensity exercises.

2. Metal chain as a resistance system

The main element of the simulator is a resistance system based on metal chains that create an adjustable static tension.

Characteristics of the circuits:

Parameter Value Material
Chains 2 pcs Steel
Chain length of 2000 mm Steel

The use of chain tension allows:

- perform isometric exercises;
- develop maximum muscular effort;
- strengthen tendons and ligaments;
- train neuromuscular coordination;
- change the load without using traditional weights.

The technique of such training was widely used by Alexander Sasse to develop phenomenal strength.

3. Bench press — the main difference of Samson-fit Strong

The key difference between the Samson-fit Strong and the Samson-fit Standard is the built-in bench press.

Characteristics of the bench:

Parameter Value Material
The length of the bench board is 1200 mm Wood or plywood
The width of the bench board is 300 mm Wood or plywood
The height of the bench board is 15 mm Wood or plywood
The height of the front legs is 100 mm Plastic or wood
The height of the rear legs is 150 mm Plastic or wood

The bench design ensures that the surface is positioned horizontally relative to the floor. The front part of the bench is mounted on a platform with a height of 50 mm, and the rear part rests on the floor through higher rear legs. This solution provides:

- stable position of the athlete;
- uniform load distribution;
- convenience of performing bench press exercises;
- effective training of the pectoral muscles, shoulder girdle and triceps;
- the ability to perform static and isometric presses.

The bench significantly expands the training functionality of the simulator and allows you to perform:

- static bench press;
- isometric bench press on different parts of the amplitude;
- holding the load in bench positions;
- exercises for shoulder girdle stabilizers;
- special exercises for powerlifters.

4. Steel neck

A metal bar is used to perform bench presses and traction exercises.

Neck Characteristics:

Parameter Value Material
Neck diameter 28 mm Steel
Neck length 1060 mm Steel

The neck provides:

- reliable grip;
- the ability to change the width of the grip;
- performing exercises of various directions;
- imitation of the movements of the classic barbell press.

5. Ergonomic grip system

The simulator is equipped with two handles for working with chains.

Composition Quantity
Handle 2

Handles allow you to:

- perform traction exercises;
- change the position of the hands;
- train different muscle groups;
- use the simulator for both the upper and lower body.

6. The versatility of the exercises performed

Samson-fit Strong is designed for a wide range of exercises:

For the upper body:
- bench presses;
- traction;
- static holds;
- chest exercises;
- shoulder girdle training;
- developing arm and forearm strength.

For the lower body:
- static squats;
- exercises for the gluteal muscles;
- hip and shin training;
- body stabilization exercises.

For power sports:
- preparation for bench press;
- development of the starting effort;
- training of "dead spots" of movement;
- strengthening of tendons and ligaments;
- increase strength endurance.

7. Load adjustment

Changing the length of the chains and the position of the neck allows:

- adjust the resistance level;
- adapt the load to the athlete;
- change the amplitude and angle of force application;
- use the simulator by both beginners and professional athletes.

8. Construction safety

The simulator design provides for:

- strong chain fastenings;
- a stable platform;
- reliable fixation of the elements;
- no need to use large external scales.

This makes training safer at home compared to traditional free weights.

9. Compact and mobile

Despite the presence of a bench press, the simulator remains compact and convenient for home use.

The design provides:

- ease of storage;
- possibility of transportation;
- quick preparation for training;
- use in a confined space.

The main purpose of Samson is fit Strong

The Samson-fit Strong simulator is designed for:

- home strength training;
- static training using the Alexander Zass method;
- training of powerlifters;
- development of maximum strength;
- strengthening of tendons and ligaments;
- increase strength endurance;
- rehabilitation and recovery training;
- functional fitness;
- injury prevention.
