1. An exercise system comprising:
a platform, whereby a portion of the platform is configured to support a performance of an exercise movement thereon;
a pull location that includes one or more tension supporting members;
a force coupler connected to the one or more tension supporting members, wherein the force coupler is configured for accepting a force exerted by a user of the exercise system;
a displacement-based control system connected to the platform and configured to control a displacement of the one or more tension supporting members in or out of the platform using an actuator;
a locking plate; and
a locking pawl configured to move toward the locking plate to lock the displacement-based control system, whereby
the displacement of the one or more tension supporting members is independent of the force exerted by the user on the one or more tension supporting members.
