How to weight train in a weightless environment. Interesting stuff

this is hilarious
how does that machine work with unracking the bar under weight and reracking it?

I think it's Neat

He explains unracking at 3:42
They don't say how reracking works but I'm guessing there is a lower stopper that you drop the bar to just like safety pins

That's actually really amazing.

His squat form is actually pretty good
some motherfucker will be curling in it before long

This is cool
So I just bought 200kg of weight for my home gym when I could have used a vacuum, a piston and a lever
Just fuck my shit up
>tfw you will never have mike as a lifting buddy
Oh the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED)? I'm "working" on the follow up experiment to that where the astronauts will wear reflective markers while they're performing a squat, leg raise, and a couple of other exercises and be videotaped with infrared cameras to capture the body kinematics during each lift. The astronauts will have performed the same exercises on the ground before they launch into orbit and the data will be compared to after they do them on the space station.
The device works using vacuum pumps for resistance. The astronauts have to use this device every day to prevent as much muscle and bone deterioration as possible. Pretty neat stuff.

kek, thanks

That's pretty smart. I don't fully get why you couldn't use a spring or an elastic band though. Sure, the force is not the same. I mean you can proportion the spring in a way, that you are working in just very small ranges of excursion. Then it wouldn't matter much that the force is changing slightly. Or you could just measure the exact force the spring is applying at any state and compensate with some mechanic or electronic device.
But yeah, I get the elegance of the vacuum tube, it's just one of those ideas that nobody would ever consider without space stations.

the thing about the space station and the space race in general during the cold war is that it spawned a LOT of neat shit that we adapted down here too, it's cutting edge shit going up there and in eventually the good advances start becoming available to the public

Are you a scientist working with them? breddy gool stuf
>>35442676
that is by definition not weight training.
