Ercolina Double Poling is a compact, effective and highly specific wall-mounted training machine specifically designed for the double poling movement. It allows athletes to train strength, endurance, and technique while realistically simulating all cross-country skiing conditions.
Like the classic Ercolina Upper Body Power, its adjustable resistance makes it possible to reproduce the demands of even the steepest climbs, a feature that other training machines do not offer.
The machine reproduces a smooth, direct and technically clean movement, allowing athletes to develop specific strength, coordination, rhythm and efficient Double Poling technique.
The rigid handlebar and straight parallel grips naturally guide the user to work with parallel arms, improving both technique and movement efficiency. In addition, the system provides immediate feedback: when the push becomes asymmetrical, the handlebar tends to rotate, allowing the athlete to instantly recognize and correct imbalances between the left and right arms.
Unlike other type of machines based on overhead pulling movements with cables and independent grips, the rigid parallel grips force the athlete to perform a technically correct push using only the muscle groups actually involved in real Double Poling with ski poles. This avoids the activation of muscles that would never be used during real skiing propulsion, making the training more specific, efficient and technically accurate.
The resistance adjustment range is extremely wide, , allowing the athlete to train under all load conditions: from technical and endurance work up to pure strength development.
The adjustable shoulder width allows the machine to fit different body types, while compatibility with hooks and height adjustment kits allows installations with vertical travel from 0.5 meters up to 2 meters, expanding the range of possible exercises.
The extremely compact dimensions and lightweight construction make Ercolina Double Poling easy to transport and install anywhere. The package measures only 26 × 30 × 33 cm, with a total packed weight of 5.5 kg (4.8 kg net weight), allowing athletes to easily carry the system to training camps, races, travel, vacations or daily training sessions.
Ercolina Double Poling also reduces the number of components by approximately 50% compared to the Ercolina Upper Body Power. The remaining components were redesigned and re-engineered to provide increased strength and durability for higher force applications.
This production approach also makes Ercolina Double Poling our most environmentally sustainable solution: reduced by 50% raw material usage, fewer manufacturing processes, lower energy consumption during production and a significant reduction in transport impact thanks to the compact size and lightweight construction.
Ercolina Double Poling is designed for cross-country skiers of all levels, roller skiers, professional teams, coaches and training centers looking for a solid, durable, highly specific and effective tool to improve Double Poling technique.
