StalwartSentinel Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 18 NOV 06 Back day today. Front Lat Pulldowns (Wide Underhand Grip) 5 sets of 5 reps @ 285 pounds. On NOV 3 you wrote: 5 sets of 5 reps @ 347 pounds. (with wide OVERhand grip). Can you lift less with underhand grip? I thought most people could lift more with underhand!! Different machines. The one I did last night was at home, on a traditional lat pull-down and it uses a 1:1 pulley system. The other was probably HAMMER STRENGTH, which uses a fulcrum motion to lift the weight at about 1:1.2 ratio. I am fairly strong in the overhand position though. It's the same reason I am stronger in a hammer curl vs. a regular biceps curl. My rowing is way stronger than my pull-downs too. Same muscle group: different angle. Hope that makes sense.

handgripperman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Sound's like you are doing real good. I was wondering when you were going to do your MM0 cert ? and sign up for the MM1 and beyond? If you are that consistent with getting the #4 to a 1/4 all the time. The MM6 should'nt be a problem.

lifesnotfair Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Was this the first time you went actually straight to the COC #4 without warming up on the others? You didn't tell us where it opened it up, I wonder why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't tell us where it opened it up, I wonder why. No, I think I've gone into the #4 straight away on another occasion... I could be wrong. My hands were warm fron the curls. The opening distance is a mystery... It is a fraudulent distance anyhow and not worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StalwartSentinel Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Beastly Mat! How you been man. I know everyone asks you for videos, but i just want to see the front raises with that 15lb sledge that is insane! Great work Thanks Chris. But I can't buy a camera now... I need to save my money for a trip to Australia! Anyhow, he can accuse all he wants. I know what I am doing and someday there will be a video on YouTube of a legit #4 close. A normal spread #4. Heck maybe even a new #4, right out of the package. Until then, I am only closing the #4 to 1/4 inch. No more no less. Only a select few will know what I am really up to. I initially wanted others to be able to follow my log and maybe learn some techniques, but there is too much BS coming from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilworker Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well well well, if it isn't Fraudwart Sentinel aka the biggest fraud in the universe why don't you work your girly ass legs with some squats instead of these leg presses?
