Depending on what machine you use: 1. The "joint" of the machine (here near where you load the plates) should be about the height of your belly button while sitting Or you shoulders kinda should form a line with the end of the seat
This is just a squat, but starting at the down position. A negative involves stabilizing the muscles as, opposed to a power movement, by a slow decent motion then, depending on your goals, either a slow accent (stability) OR a burst (power) motion back to the starting position.
Unfortunately this exercise isn't ideal for quads. Too much hip flexion due to placement and angle of foot pad. I hate it. Wish my gym had hack / pendulum squat.
Same here 😩. I asked a girl training she explained it but I wanted to see her perform it and use the stopper but didn't want to be weird standing there.
this is more quad dominant, more like a front squat - if bigger quards are your goal, this beats free weight squat for sure. bb squat is more "overall" growth but depends on stance width.
Hi , if anyone is still monitoring this channel- how does the Life Fitness back 45 ext. compare with the Hammer Strength ? I've used the Hammer for years at my gym and was considering now for home. I prefer the aesthetics of the LF over the Hammer but the Hammer has a wide footplate on the back, which makes side/oblique crunches easy. Where this has individual footplates. The Hammer is also around $400 less. Thanks.
That's where I had it. If you love the incline chest press by hammer strength, just know this one is slightly different and incorporates more anterior delt. What's your ceiling height?
What measures does the machine have? There are no such in my country I want to arm it, but I do not have the plane can you send to me the measurements to my e-mail? agente.telomian@gmail.com
your feet are probably to far forward, and your hips are rounding forward. the demonstration isn't a very good one at all, feet too far forward, and too close together. get your feet under you, shoulder width apart and toes turned slightly out. go down as far as you can, if you feel your hips starting to round forward, don't go any lower. experiment with different foot placements and foot width, find what feels good to you, and what works the best...no one is exactly the same, just remember, find what works for you, foot placement, width, depth. hope this helps in some way.
I'd say that's a person by person response. You're obliques must be a little stronger than your central core? I'd have to watch you do the movement to provide much help on that one.
So I put 20lbs on now plates. I do a lot better once I'm done hiking incline 8.0 at 3.0mph. But after few tries going from central to left right side I have hard time lifting central core.
