Ah yeah, that would totally explain it with the posts. Makes a lot more sense that way! That was one of the issues I ran into was the instructions very unclear on orientations of posts. Apparently I had them upside down and backwards :). And yep, totally agree on the pulldown. 6 inches higher and would be no issue at all.

That's a great way to do it, too! I've used that variation as well. With this one, I find by lying down on the ground, it really isolates the area even more effectively.

Still have it! I set up this rack at the other end of my basement :) This one actually as a few more features that I've been playing with (the ability to easily add cable resistance to barbell exercises is a big one). Definitely more to come.

good thoughts with the cable adjustments for sure. And yeah, this band method is really interesting!

Thanks man!

That is true with the dip handles and being able to use them on the back storage thing - I did try that. For me, they still keep my body too close to that storage rail and I can't do dips without sliding up and down the rail (facing either way). Definitely true with the cable carriage - you can turn the posts and install them the other way to create an upwards angle. Quite right!

Not yet but I am planning on doing one soon. I still take it daily.

That's actually not one that I do very often. I haven't really tinkered with it, to be honest!

I like it! That's a great idea :)

Yep, I remember it back in the 90's for sure. I hear you on the flavor of the week, lengthened partial stuff. It honestly cracks me up how cyclical the whole training world is. All of this stuff is just "rediscovered"...been around forever and how it's new again. Heck, I never say I ever truly invent an exercise because quite often, somebody then tells me they used to do it all the time in the 50's :).

That's great company to be in!

thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, that angle is not something you can really hit well with conventional movements at all.

I appreciate that :)

I don't think so. I've never heard of anyone experience that from leg extensions.

thank you!

That's awesome, man! Makes me happy to hear that! High rep trap bar deadlifts are just crazy good.

that sounds about right!

thanks!

That's what I say in the video and description!

If you look at the ANGLE of the press, it's almost exactly like a converging bench press. You're bringing the hands almost cross-body, which increases the contraction of the pec muscle. I don't claim it build the inner chest as a separate area - I state that it really doesn't. You're using the "just squat, bro" argument here.

Ironically, enough I've been doing this one before the existence of influencers (late 90's). It actually does work because of the angle. It's almost exactly like a converging bench press machine.

Yep, you're right - I say that multiple times in the description and video.

Yup, 5/3/1 - boring but big Jim wendler style

pushups are more effective than this bullshit

Yep, if you rotate to the side on a ball, you can do something similar. You won't be able to use as much weight, is the only thing. It's actually not as tough as much on the bicep as you might think. It's holding up some but you're not hanging from the post. Friction of your back on the bench is doing most of that.

it's awesome!

yep, definitely start light - takes a bit of getting used to with setting up and getting the weight down, too.

I appreciate it!

There's a TON. The biggest one that I've found is continuous compression. Compression is fantastic for your body because it acts to assist with circulation in the joints (which are notorious for poor circulation). With each step you take, you get compression and decompression on the knees and hips. The spine is pretty well continuous, but when you get out from the weight, you instantly feel lighter (decompression). Other than that, it's great for core training and overall spinal health. It helps with strengthening your breathing muscles as well. There's really a lot to like!

@@MadScientistOfMuscle thank you for taking the time to respond

@@Senecamarcus you bet! It's a great question!

Let me know how you like it! Worked like crazy for me!

I can perform wide grip lat pulldowns with 250lbs however using this technique I had to cut the weight to 100-150lbs, the burn was incredible and the arc of the movement was in complete alignment with the lats, after one set my lat was pumped and the second set was an absolute grind - the exercise digs deep into the lat and quite honestly I have never experienced such a powerful contraction. This is now a mandatory exercise thanks coach Nick you nailed it man!

@@slipknot5727 Right on! Yep, that's sounds like exactly what I found. The arc of movement combined with the accurate match to the strength curve is just crazy effective.

Thanks! It's weird but man does it work.

Yep, exactly! Very similar action to doing both at the same time.

Thanks man! I appreciate that!

Glad it was helpful! Yeah, there is a ton you can do with it - simple but very effective!

Yep, I would have expected the outside heavier to be the way to go but definitely worked better heavier on the inside. Sometimes you never know until you test!

I would actually agree that they are unnecessary in that you don't NEED to do presses, however they are extremely useful for getting heavy weight into position so you can focus on performing the actual exercise safely and from the best starting position!
