Dynamax core trainer
Monday, September 6th, 2010
The dynamax core trainer is an upper body resistance machine that weighs less than 4lb but can produce 180lb of resistance. Dynaflex International teamed up with the United States Navy S.E.A.L.S to create the DynaMax Core Trainer. The S.E.A.L.S had very specific requirements and expected nothing less than the very best in quality and craftsmanship. The final design and specifications where achieved after many years of Research and Development. Designed using the same resistance principles as the hand held gyros, this powerhouse works out your upper body through applied resistance and isometrics. The gyro has a built in starter and generates over 220lbs of resistance at its top speed.
