Power Cushion Medium Density
Use the Power Cushion to build a healthy and strong body.
You can effectively strengthen, condition, and treat modalities in your body with the Power Cushion and its designated training exercises. Athletic ability and overall health depend on a person exercising in a way that properly develops the abdominal musculoskeletal complex and segmentally arranges the individual joints into the right spot. You can achieve both of these things with the Power Cushion. This piece of equipment recognizes that the basis of human adaptation depends on getting an abdominal musculoskeletal complex that can effectively generate momentum.
Exercising with the Power Cushion
Use the Power Cushion to properly perform the sit-up and pelvic tilt exercises. Visit the following links and/or download the free PDFs to learn how to correctly do these exercises with the equipment:
Doing a sit-up with the Power Cushion helps to train the muscles, as well as trains the bones to which the the muscles are attached. The Power Cushion supplies the correct exercise effect while also optimally positioning the spine to safely function with strength.
While performing the pelvic tilt with the Power Cushion, the joints of the abdominal musculoskeletal complex are segmentally placed into a position that is orthopedically correct.
After using the Power Cushion, athletes have said...
- “I feel taller, lighter and stronger.”
- “I feel like I could run through a wall, my back feels strong.”
- “My speed and flexibility in my hamstrings have improved. I feel like I am running effortlessly.”
History of the Power Cushion
The Power Cushion was first introduced in the 1980s for use in professional football and Olympic training. Dr. John Scherger put together a development team made up of the best professionals in the most highly demanding sports to ensure the design and training procedures were refined. It took years to reach the final design that best matches the training needs of the musculoskeletal complex. Unlike the majority of products, the Power Cushion did not have a fast rush into the marketplace without undergoing important and extensive scientific trials.
By 2000, the Power Cushion was being used successfully in the Patriots' medial training room. The Power Cushion became one of the best-kept secrets in professional football, as players put the equipment to use in both the weight room and training room. Athletic trainer Ron O'Neil told Longevity Magazine, "Our guys really use the Power Cushion. It actually improves the posture of the player."
The Patriots used the Power Cushion up through their 2008 season. Marcus Paul, a former Patriots trainer, took his power training experience with him to the New York Giants when they won the Super Bowl, and then later on to the Dallas Cowboys. The only teams who are familiar with and have employed Scherger's training methods are the Patriots, Giants, Cowboys, and Jets. The Patriots and Cowboys appeared to dominate the other NFL teams physically, which helped support Scherger's mission of obtaining superior physicality with better global and segmental posture.
The Power Cushion has longevity: every person who was part of the original abdominal musculoskeletal training research team has continued to use the same kind of exercises and apply the same methods used in the developmental of this equipment.
Two Densities Available — Blue Soft and Orange Medium
This orange Power Cushion is the medium density. Orange marks the medium across the whole Power Cushion line, and blue marks the soft, so the color tells you at a glance which firmness you are holding. Those two are the Power Cushion densities.
A firmer fulcrum creates greater curvature demand, and therefore greater intensity at the same body weight. Density is an intensity lever in its own right: it can be raised independently of repetitions, which matters when you are ready for a deeper curve before you are ready for more reps. That is what the orange medium gives you over the blue soft.
The medium is the progression from the soft, and it suits everyday conditioning as readily as it suits sport. Choose it once the softer fulcrum feels comfortable and controlled through your full working range. For a stiff, painful, injured, or highly guarded spine, begin on the softer option and earn the step up. When in doubt, start softer.
The Power Cushion is also available in a blue soft density — the gentler fulcrum, and the recommended starting point for anyone easing into the work.
