Looks like you definitely went to failure on every set. That's a great machine. I recently got their half rack with pulley attatchment. I wanted to get my free weight gym done first. This would be my next purchase if i had the room.
Moving the weight is NOT the immediate objective of exercise. The immediate objective is to fatigue the muscle. The weight doesn’t have to move t all (static hold), actually. High Intensity Training enthusiasts track time under tension.
Many hit people advocate a slow and controlled rep. I figured I would give it a shot. I'm not sure if there is any measurable difference between a 2 second rep and an 8 second rep, aside from the reduction in weight. As long as your intensity is the same, you should be good to go.
Where'd you get those wedges? Trying to get proper foot placement and purchase for squats and lat/rear delt rows has been somewhat difficult with my work bench
Where do you get your’timing’ data from? Is it from after watching your recorded workout? I’ve never seen a failure set like this only reps to failure. Cool concept
@@chrisallenworkingoutathome I might try this method on a 4-6 week split. I feel discouraged when I’m not jumping in weight lifted but going through the motions will be the factor in stimulating the muscle to get there. Very interesting. Helps focus on doing the ‘work’ no matter the outcome.
Cool adaptation with the wedges on this thing. I had one of these years ago and wish i never sold it. That said, I'd watch your back on the straight leg deadlifts.. or use a platform. They pull the arms too far away from the body and that is a one way ticket to blowing a disc.
