Some of the machines at my gym have these resistance profile selector things, how do you utilize these effectively? Do you want to select a different one based on the exercise you're doing or does it not matter all that much?
>>76609510it's mostly a meme, this is the kind of shit everyone rags on when it comes to "muh science-based lifting". Just keep it in the middle of the region and do your lifts as normal. Maybe on your final set you move it to the beginning range just so you can fail and hold the stretch, which feels great.
>>76609510It matters for certain lifts. Like bench is the weakest in the bottom of the rep and strongest at the top. In curls the bicep is weak at the ends of it's rom and strongest in the middle. It just allows you to select a curve that better suits the muscle you're working so you can do full rom + while keeping resistence ideal for the muscles it's meant to work. I would just start googling the strength curves of the lifts you're doing and seeing if anything improves by using that. If my gym had tools like this I'd make use of them.
Holy science holy science holy science

Do you want to select a different one based on the exercise you're doing or does it not matter all that much?i just take conventional motions and take the best resistance profile and turn it into isometric hold in this resistance profile - it's great like if u take 2 dumbbells and hold em as if u were BTN pressing at head height and do nothing but keep scapulae down it will grow delts front and middle beautifully but won't fuck you up at all :D i think it's even betterer than fancy machine with variable resistance profile selector D: >>76609660>>76610191>>76610527what do you think ? :D
>>76610863>it will grow delts frontWho the fuck in the history of lifting has ever had to focus on front delt at all?
>>76611312zero pressing whatsoever in my "routine" this is awesome also for serratus and pecs weight is sorta beautifully balanced like this if u do it for ex with kettles it forces u to roll shoulders forward contracting imbalanced retardo heavy purse pulling shoulder into external rotation arm-bar - pictured u made this thread bot specifically to fuck up my iteration >>76611116>>76610863>like if u take 2 dumbbells and hold em as if u were BTN pressing at head height and do nothing but keep scapulae down it will grow delts front and middle beautifully but won't fuck you up at all :D>i think it's even betterer than fancy machine with variable resistance profile selector D:i focus on thoracic extension and cervical extension as i do it :D lat spread and double chin :D
