Roark Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 The other day when doing back exercises on the Nautilus Torso Arm machine (the one where you grab parallel handles and pull until your hands are next to your shoulders) I noticed that if the handles were bypassed, a grip could be secured on the flat, wide metal to which the handles attach! Similar in size to a 2 x 4 piece of wood but of course smooth. By pinching this flat metal and pulling down a rafter pullup is imitated. Problem is, if your grip fails the weights come crashing down, so I looped a towel over over handle as a safety catch, and did not pull with that hand, leaving slack in the towel, then used the other hand to pinch/pull. Onlookers are perplexed, but then we are a strange group, we grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
