Connect your Vitruvian — and send the set to the cables
Eccentric now knows the Vitruvian Trainer: program it in a plan, connect to it in the logger, send the set you're about to do straight to the cables, and read every rep the machine measures back into the same record as everything else you lift.
The Vitruvian is a good two-cable trainer with nothing left around it. The company is gone and the software went with it, so what most owners have is a machine that still works perfectly well and no straightforward way to plan a block on it, keep the record, or see whether any of it is moving.
Tick Owned on Vitruvian Trainer in Settings → Equipment and it turns up everywhere equipment matters — the exercise picker, the plan editor, the set fields, and the trainer panel in the logger. Every movement that already worked on a two-cable trainer, all six modes, and the fields change with the mode, so you're never filling in a setting the machine would ignore.
Load is written per cable, because that's how the Vitruvian counts it. A 50 kg set on a two-handle movement is 100 kg on you, so the field is labelled Load per cable and you never have to work out from context which number you're writing down.
Start a session with a Vitruvian exercise in it and a trainer bar appears at the bottom of the logger. Connect, and Eccentric reads the machine directly: what each cable is carrying, how fast it's moving, which way you're going, and the rep count the trainer keeps itself. Then send the set you're about to do — its mode, its load per cable, its reps, its warm-up — and it goes onto the cables.
Reps and load feed volume, per-exercise history, trends and estimated 1RM. Your Vitruvian work sits in the same record as your barbell and bodyweight work, not in a corner of its own.
A set that's out of range is refused, not quietly reduced
Today that range is 0–100 kg per cable, and a change of no more than 3 kg a rep in either direction. Neither figure is a measurement of your machine. The published maximums — 200 kg, 220 kg depending on the model — are machine totals, and it's never been stated what makes them up, so nobody can say what a single cable will take. Both figures are instead what both surviving reference implementations refuse beyond — 100 kg on a cable, 3 kg a rep. This entry first said 110, which was those apps' number for what they put on the wire after adding a fixed 10 kg, not what they let you type.
Both numbers are now declared on the equipment itself rather than sitting in the code that talks to the machine, which means that when someone measures a real one, the limit can change without waiting for a release.
Take the weight off is never blocked and never locked, at any point — including mid-set, when the button that puts a set on is.
One thing it doesn't do
There's nothing to import afterwards. No service is left running, so there's no file or account to pull a finished session from the way you can with a Voltra, and the app doesn't offer it or pretend otherwise. Everything the machine tells Eccentric, it tells it live, while you're lifting.
The full walkthrough — the connect flow, the set editor, and what each mode asks for — is in Your Vitruvian, back in a training plan.
