Powerful bronze sculpture of an athletic and ripped fighter. This sizable and heavy work of art is as beautiful as the day it was handcrafted. Belgian sculptor Jef Lambeaux (1852-1908) had a penchant for capturing the human physique in motion, with sports and erotic scenes as his favourite subject matters. Since he grew up in the second half of the 19th century, he may very well have seen actual price fighters going at each other in boxing matches. This powerful bronze male boxer in full action is just about to launch an inside right whilst protecting his own head with his left arm and right shoulder. His square jaw line and rugged facial features give us the impression that he is as hard they come. The incredibly well developed muscles in his back and legs confirm that notion as well. The stunning patina accentuates the muscular physique of this bronze fighter and he looks marvelous from all angles. Image 13 shows an interesting detail that you don't find in many bronzes. Here you can see that samples were taken from the bottom of the base to determine whether this bronze had the right composition and strength. It clearly passed the test, because otherwise it would have been destroyed. This sizable and heavy bronze fighter with its perfectly captured fighting posture makes a great statement piece on a desk or side table. Our price for this rare and mint bronze boxer...

Lateral Motion Reinventing cross training, the innovative Lateral X utilizes varying planes of motion, including a stepping movement and adjustable, side-to-side motion, for functional exercise that builds stamina, muscular endurance and core stability. Research shows a 27% increase in caloric expenditure going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10, and a 30% increase in outer and inner thigh work over traditional ellipticals. The variety within the movements keeps exercisers motivated and enjoying workouts!* *Study conducted by Minnesota State University Mankato going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10. Stepping Motion For additional variety, the stepping motion can be used to alternate with lateral movements, for recovery or to incorporate beneficial cross training and target different muscle groups. Exercisers are free to customize their motion at any time throughout workouts. Upper-Body Ergonomics The upper body gets totally involved using the patented, breakthrough Multi-Grip and Converging Path handlebars, which fits exercisers comfortably. It’s easy to target different arm, chest and back muscles by changing the hand position on the Multi-Grip handlebars, which include fingertip controls for stride width and resistance.

Space-Efficient Design Designed with a compact footprint and self-powered operation, the Lateral X fits anywhere in a fitness facility, which makes it easy to floor several units to meet demand and accommodate many exercisers. It’s simple to get on and off the machine safely with its low step-up height and rear access. Workout Boosters Adding interval training to Lateral X routines is as easy as pushing a button to take on Octane’s trademark Workout Boosters, like X-Mode, QuadPower and Thigh Toner, which deliver greater challenges using quick bursts of cross training movements that target the entire body. Personal Entertainment The Lateral X boasts supreme entertainment with a choice of a smart or standard console, which add various options, including an Internet browser, ANT+ compatibility and mobile device charging. Both also can be equipped with a personal viewing screen (PVS) or 9000Mhz wireless receiver for premium customization.
