CAM to VTS 1:1 Setup

CAM TO VTS WITH 1:1 RATIO USING SAME UPRIGHT

Tap to see who this is best for + parts list

Watch Video

BEST FOR:

  • Low-cost setups (requires only one pulley)
  • Simple setup
  • Compact footprint
  • Users who find 1:2 feels too heavy for curls or other movements
  • 1:1 ratio gives easier starting weight
  • Must consider starting weight of VTS
  • Limited ISOLATOR movement up/down
  • Back upright setup gives more adjustability
  • Not very strong users or those OK loading more plates
  • More weight = more wear on VTS over time
  • Users OK leaving ISOLATOR on or removing to use VTS
  • Back upright allows VTS and ISOLATOR to stay separate

PARTS:

  • ISOLATOR Cam
  • ISOLATOR Cam Top Guide Pulley Bracket
  • Single Side Pulley
  • Round Long Cable Termination End
  • Cable

ISO Arms on CAM 1:2 to VTS on Same Upright

ISO ARMS ON CAM 1:2 RATIO TO VTS ON SAME UPRIGHT

Tap to see who this is best for + notes / limitations

Watch Video

BEST FOR:

  • Compact setups where everything is on one upright
  • Lower-cost
  • Fairly simple setup
  • Users who want to use ISO Arms with the VTS but don’t need maximum felt load on every movement
  • People who still want to do a wide variety of lifts without going to the heaviest-feeling ratio options

NOTES / LIMITATIONS:

  • Because it’s a 1:2 ratio, the VTS trolley travels twice as far, limiting certain setups
  • Some higher setups are limited because the VTS is above the ISOLATOR
  • Counterweight on ISO Arms may be required for heavy dips, lat pulls, etc.
  • Moving sleeves further down increases felt load
  • 1:1 ratio is too strong in this configuration
  • Heavier loading increases wear and tear on components
  • Great for general use across many lifts
  • 1:2 / 1:3 combo setups are excellent for flexibility
  • Very strong athletes may prefer the Crossbow Cam
