The Technogym Selection Pro Leg Raise (often referred to as the “Vertical Knee Raise” or “Captain’s Chair”) is a premium bodyweight station designed to isolate the abdominal muscles and hip flexors. While it is a non-selectorized piece (it does not have a weight stack), it is part of the Selection Pro line to maintain a cohesive aesthetic and high ergonomic standard in the strength area.
This station is specifically engineered to provide maximum stability for the upper body, allowing the user to focus entirely on the core contraction without the “swinging” motion common on less stable equipment.
