TECA PRESTIGE - LOWER BODY
Click on any of the headers below to find out more information on the relevant piece of equipment, view product images, and watch a demo video of the equipment being used.
This machine works-out the muscles in the front of the thigh, the vastus medialus and lateralis in particular, that extend the leg by flexing the thigh. The vastus intermedius is also worked during the exercise whilst the rectus flemoris is stimulated to a lesser extent due to the proximity of the intersection points in the seated position; when the seat back is moved further back it is more exerted.
This piece of equipment is frequently used both to tone and build up the muscles in the front of the thigh, Fitted with a ROM device that limits the movement of the leg and enables isometric contractions, this machine can be used in the functional rehabilitation of the Quadriceps. It has an adjustable seat back, hand grips for improved stability during the exercise and a safety motion limiter to prevent over extension.

This is the perfect machine to tone and build up the muscles on the back of the thighs or femoralischial portion, (consisting of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus hamstring muscles and to a lesser extent the gastrocnemius). It is also used for correction of the knee and in postmenisectomy functional rehabilitation to improve knee stability.
It is fitted with adjustable padded rollers and the contoured padding has been specially designed to exploit the optimal workout angle without working the back muscles and large gluteal muscles as often happens on more traditional machines.

This piece of equipment completes the Leg Curl workout by working more specifically on the medium and lower portion of the femora-ischial muscles. Thanks to the two height-adjustable foot platforms, the right position can be found for the resting limb to ensure knee articulation is at the same height as the lever fulcrum To achieve further extension of the muscle and subsequent total contraction, the lever base has been inclined by 20 degrees. Fitted with a ROM device that limits the movement of the leg and enables isometric contractions, this machine can be used in the functional rehabilitation ot the femur.

The maximus and minimus gluteals as well as the tensor muscle, which together form the abductor muscles to the thigh, get a great workout on this piece of equipment.
It works the abdominals from the seated position and with the back resting against the seat back the Iordotic effect on the above muscles is minimized. The handgrips can be adjusted to create four different workout positions.

This was TECA's first special creation. It was designed and tested to work the quadriceps from the standing position. In other words, it is based on the movement of the traditional squat with barbell and the not-to-be-ignored possibility of keeping the spinal column partially out of action thank's to the exclusive "variable-attitude pantograph".
The latter enables the backrest to follow the trunk during the entire movement. The adoption of this mechanism in place of the sled bars common in most conventional hack squat machines, makes it possible to limit the stress on the coxo-femoral joint, knee, and tarsotibial, as well as on the spinal column thereby reducing the risk of overloading joints and causing conditions that make this exercise painful to execute. By suitably altering the position and distance between the feet, this exercise also provides a superb workout for the adductor's, gluteals and biceps femoris, as well as the quadriceps.

The new version of this piece of equipment incorporates the innovative and exclusive "variable-attitude pantograph" for natural, correct movement. The main advantage of this system is the total foot contact, which is maintained during the entire exercise thanks to the angled foot platform. This sophisticated mechanism is fitted with an easy-to-use knob that can be turned to make millimetric adjustments to the incline of the platform, thereby moving the muscular focus from the lower to the upper part of the thigh until even the muscles on the back of the thigh and large gluteal are worked.
A further advantage of the angled platform is to reduce lateral strain on the spinal column when legs are pushing as well as limiting the effect of inertial forces on the lower back during the eccentric movement. The latter is the cause of a number of cases of spondylolysis in athletes lifting heavy weights on conventional leg presses. Essential for a lower limb workout, this machine is also filled with a pre-loading mechanism that allows you to lift the selected weight to the PRE-START position so that you start pushing it with your leg already partially extended.

This is a groundbreaking new machine ideal female users. Working-out in a quadrupedic position allows maximum extension of the large gluteal. Thanks to the pushing mechanism, the muscle can be superbly isolated with minimum rotation of the hip, thereby avoiding any unnecessary strain on the lower back. By working on one side, other muscles than just the gluteals can be exercised.
This machine is also fitted with a ROM device that limits the range of movement of the leg.
