WHAT IS THE TRAINER STRAP SYSTEM?
The Trainer Strap System (TSS) is an accessory that allows you to add more functional exercises to the Vasa SwimErg. It lets you use the SwimErg like a Vasa Trainer for strength exercises, adding great value to the SwimErg and essentially “providing 2 machines in 1”.
WHY USE THE TRAINER STRAP SYSTEM?
First, pulling on the webbing straps (versus the SwimErg drive cords) allows the swimmer to “pull the body past the hands”, a key dryland swim-specific method favored by top swim coaches to teach proper catch and pull for all swim strokes. This method also allows you to do important drills and strength exercises to improve biomechanics, shoulder/scapular functional strength, and range of motion.
An added key benefit is it allows for additional functional strength and rehab exercises for swim-specific and general gains.
HOW TO USE IT?
There are multiple ways to use the strap system:
- • Teach swimmers how to maintain a high elbow catch;
- • Strengthen upper body propulsion muscles of the back, torso, shoulders and arms;
- • Practice deliberate “Catch and Pull” for all strokes;
- • Isometric exercises for isolating and strengthening segments of each swimming stroke;
- • Use with the Forearm Cuffs for swim-specific drills;
- • Connect rotation with Freestyle pull;
- • Swim-specific upper body plyometric pulls increase eccentric strength;
- • Over 50 functional exercises are possible for strength and “pre-hab”;
- • Flexibility exercises to increase functional range of motion.
Adjusting the strap length is easy and precise. Press the metal cam buckle and pull the strap through to match the length of both straps for each exercise.
