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.

Thanks, I do enjoy using it!

What’s the deal with the seconds. What’s wrong with just simply repping out the weights, nice weight set

[@exercisethoughtsanddiscussions]

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.

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

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.

@@chrisallenworkingoutathome I say Dorian Yates hit training is better but what ever works for people as long as their doing something

[@jaleesa00]

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]

Yes I watch the workout and get the length of each set in seconds. Thanks for the question.

@@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.

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

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

From Amazon P Aladin squat wedge, I have a video review of them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIqTm42fYryAeNE

[@Polentaccio]

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.

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

Yes, when using a leverage arm, some movements can start to pull you out of position.
