The Calibrex X1 system is a simple yet effective solution for avid weightlifters that will offer them a way to help enhance their form and potentially train with more efficiency. The system works by having one device placed on either end of the barbell and will go to work using ultrasound technology to measure their distance from the ground below. This will keep an eye out for any discrepancies between the two sensors and automatically set off a beeping alarm to let the weightlifter know that they need to correct their form.
The Calibrex X1 system includes two sensors that weigh 110 grams each and feature battery packs within that will deliver up to two weeks of use on a 20 minute charge.
