Core
Plate-loaded equipment uses Olympic weight plates to increase resistance. Plate-loaded machines require users to manually load weight plates onto the machine. Plate Loaded equipment provides the benefits of free-weight training with added safety features, such as guided paths and safety catches.
Upper Body
Movement patterns on plate-loaded machines often mimic free-weight exercises, giving a more natural range of motion. Resistance is more evenly distributed throughout the movement, similar to using barbells or dumbbells.
Lower Body
Users can load and unload plates in small increments allowing for more precise control over the intensity of their workouts. Iso-lateral movements are popular with plate loaded machines where one part of the body moves independently from another part of the body.
