Running with Ski Poles
"Terje Henriksen" skrev i melding ... skrev i melding ... Meaning a generic term or a specific apparatus? It seems to be discussed a lot on forums, but the only specific piece of eqpt I found was the Norwegian equivalent of the Total Gym: http://www.treningspartner.no/produc...r%E5sterk.html This is not the original model, which is produced by Stjørdal Industrier. It was first sold in the -60's and I am using one bought in the -70's. Made of steel and still as good as new. You may find it advertised in SkiSport. I use it 3 times a week, summer and winter. I did not remember correct; the bench was probably originated early in the -70's and I bought mine early in the -80's. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes 69:41:41N 30:00:28E |

Running with Ski Poles
In the States it has been manufactured by a few companies, but the
patent is held by Total Gym/EFI (not that Texas Ranger or that supermodel). Back in the early '80s they were sold door to door.

One thing I've always wondered about: my home-made roller board has the ropes tied off to some big eye bolts at the top of the board. It looks like all these commercial rigs have the rope going through a pulley, and then back down to the "sled". Does it reduce the force needed to pull yourself up, with the pulleys? Does it make for a better/smoother "poling" motion? -JJ Denver, Colorado |

My ropes are tied to the ribwall. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes 69:41:41N 30:00:28E |
