How would I exercise my upper body? I do push up but feel it mostly in my forearms, I also do the static pull up position but of course the vibration is very weak in handle bar because it is attached to lower base. I guess the straps are also useless? Any recommendations? Thanks.

Yes. Every second day is best.
If you truly are taking the muscle to super fatigue. The body has a lot more to recover from and process that you could comprehend.

Both your questions answered in two older articles...
Note: VibroGym are not perfectly Lineal. In fact no higher energy lineal retail company sells them. Which is why they wont attach vibration handle bars to the platform, because the errors would be there for all to see.
Doubling up on a few poses would not be considered over-training. In fact our advanced program has 6 mins of squats in it.

Another question regarding frequeny of trainings
How often is good, every second day?
Have you ever tried to do each exercise with more than one set?

No problems with machine, I was just asking because vibrogym claims it has the most precise vertical vibrations, if vertical vibrations are good, than I guess any deviation from vertical goes to other two planes and that creates shearing forces on joints? So how precise is fitvibe compared to vibrogym.

Dear Leslie Buttermore
As per our visual review section ......
http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/consumer-guide-and-safety-program/machine-reviews
The Euro Body Shaker is a Chinese built unit. They have a few models. ( which one were you looking at buying ? ) All low speed or low energy units.
Great for physio / therapy work and a little bit of strength and conditioning training IF you use a special program.
They are highly overpriced though at those trade shows and they offer rubbish support I would suggest you look on ebay etc.... first. I can guarantee we can help you get something that has the exact same function and we will support you for as long as you need it.

Could you give me any information on the "Euro Body Shaper" model
I plan to buy one this weekend at a Home Show but after doing some
reading about these vibration machines, I am a little undecided. I had
breast cancer a year ago. I am 67 yrs. old, and need help to get back
my body from the effects of chemicals, etc. I value your advice.
Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your time and
effort. God Bless You.......
Kind Regards,
Leslie

Technically , yes they should produce similar forces.
But if the isolators harden, they may reduce the force being allowed to be transmitted into you by the plate.
You can usually telling if the shore hardness of the isolators has changed enough to degrade the machines performance by putting the machine of high, and let it start and stop without you on it. If the plate moves on started up or stop. You have an issue.
If that is the case. Tell me.

Lloyd, do you know if old vibrogym has more precise vertical vibration than old fitvibe medical, in other words is there any difference in the quality of vibrations between those two? I guess they both develop similar force?

But what is difference in the sense of mechanical output, after all from what I know those are just wobbling plates, so if two plates are performing with the same frequency and are also the same size, I guess the amplitude is also the same.

Yes. Globus do have a good record. Check out this older site that had some basic engineering tests so you can directly compare some of the different brands in Europe.

What would be best pivotal machine in Europe? Galileo is very expensive and cheap plates go only to 14 HZ, I have one. Muscle contrasction suppose to start from 20 HZ on pivotal machines. I see globus has plates that goes to 30 HZ, if that is true.
So i wanna know what would be the difference between globus and galileo, I mean, from what i know, the mass of the machine here is not important only frequency and amplitude, which you get from wider stance. I would like to try combine pivotal with lineal training or therapy.

My email is lloyd@vibra-train.com
That article is mainly based on physio units. No real training machines were used in any of the research cited.
So the title is misleading. But the info is accurate.

Jane ....
Basically that company cant lie in bed straight and the owner is an off the scale nutter. Multiple breakdown issues where the customer is blamed and abused. So if it ever breaks....... all i can say is good luck.
http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/consumer-guide-and-safety-program/articles-31---36/the-history-of-our-industry-you-need-to-know
What country are you in, so we might be able to find you something suitable ? What country are you in
PS..... What was the name of the Pro Pivotal unit ? Was the situation resolved ?

Hi there, I see Hyper Gravity is on your blacklist, I just wondered why...
Theres a person selling a Hyper Gravity Olympic Professional used machine quite locally and Im wondering if this is worth pursuing or not. Having already just been burnt by a brand new and supposed Pro Pivotal Machine LOL. Once bitten twice shy. Looking for something for quality muscle and fat loss to complement a personal training program.
Thanks a lot for your advice.

Only safe way of doing this is simply placing all your body weight through your heels during your squats.
Try doing a squat with most of your foot off the machine, so you cant engage the ball of your foot. .
I know isolating sounds like a good idea, but in VT the actual poses place too much shearing stress on the joints. So I never recommend or promote them. Sorry.
Be careful if you go online to find some poses, they will probably be attached by some PT who has no understanding of the forces you are dealing with.

How would I best target hamstrings with vibration training? Have you ve done any experimenting or are you strict to your safety program? I mean with squats I just feel quads too much.
Is there a way to target specific musce with vibration training safely? Can you lay on back with mat underneath? Or just putting arms or legs on machine? Thanks for answering.

Short answer...
From all my research into tank crews from 60 years worth of material.( Who receive well beyond any ISO 2631 precautions ) There seem to only be long term positive effects.
But yes. Positioning and direct transference into the tailbone up into the head seems to cause some issues in some cases. ( hence sitting upright on the machines is a banned pose )
Otherwise normal contraindication would suffice........ Eg.... Brain tumor. Brain injury, clot or recent brain bleed. Recent eye surgery or damaged / detached retina. . .

I have a question regarding vibration transmiting to head, for example in squat position there is stll some vibration feeling in head and neck, could that be dangerous on long term and are there any limitations regarding age or other conditions for vibration training.

General warning
A few reports floating around about health professionals who curriculum's do not cover the discipline of Vibration Training, adding random machines to their practices for some extra income. Be it a Physio , PT or Yoga instructor. None of their qualifications gives them the knowledge to teach this special type of training.
Most don't even know the very basics like Pivotal VS Lineal units.
Be even more careful if they claim to have a "masters" cert in VT. The only certs like this around are literally given out my marketing / sales companies along with a machine. It is nothing short of a scam.
You suspect anyone is not 100%. Then come on here and we can give you a few questions to fire at them. That will separate the pretenders from the disciplined practitioners very quickly.
Because don't think for a minute a pretender is not dangerous. They are. You only have one body, be protective of it.

No not a massive change. It only adds about another 60kg of force and 1 mm to the plate. Despite what the specs say.
If you want to best results. Chop and change Fqs and amplitudes often. Never the same workout settings twice in a row.

Lloyd I bought the fitvibe machine and it works great... Should I feel big difference when changing intensitiy, I mean amplitude from low to high? Cause I dont.

David....
Complete rubbish. All part of the scaremongering tactics resorted to by some dodgy marketers.
We have heard it all....
EMF or RF will give you cancer or stop your pacemaker ( with a motor the size of your car engine maybe )
Two motors will scramble your brain.
Lineal will give you brain damage
Always ask yourself just one question if listening to any of that kind of stuff..... Why do 99% of the worlds commercial locations use the machines these people say will kill or hurt me. But after 12 years, no reports of damage.
