What are you or what did you train today?

[Shrek]

Yeah but how did you find the movement itself?

Couldn’t get enough weight to have an adequate workout.

Ah I see

 

[Shrek]

I used the narrow cables where you can fit a bar across one cable to the other, not a single cable.

I'll have to check what the max weight stack is at the gym

 

[Shrek]

Also, because you need to start from the bottom position it becomes awkward because the bar is not fixed unlike a barbell.

What attachment did you use?

 

[Shrek]

Just a straight bar.

 

[Darkoz]

Just a straight bar.

A straight bar would be more unstable than a V handle

 

[Shrek]

Then you would be doing more of a Goblet Squat rather than a regular squat.

Are we talking about the same exercise Shrek?
The arms are straight out in front, regardless of the attachment you're using.

 

[Shrek]

How do you squat with arms out in front?

Frankenstein squat?

Yes I was alluding to the second video.
Awkward.

The first vid is hardly a squat.
It would tend to make you lean forward hence very little weight could be used and little resistance to the quads.

It would be the opposte, you would lean back to counter the weight, not forward

 

[Shrek]

Yeah but the weight would drag you forward like standing face pulls.

Two things, you'd be forced to lean back and the pulley is down at it's lowest position not up high like a face pull.

 

[Shrek]

I’ll give them a whirl.

Maybe tomorrow.

Hi
Today I did PUMP and my muscles are already aching. What should I do to avoid this unpleasant muscle fever?

A cup of quick set concrete will work very well.
