What are your preferred alternatives?
>>76780006>How do you do this exerciseI lock my shoulders in a retracted position and pull with my elbows>What are you preferred alternativesAustralian pull ups because you can cheat the movement past failure.
>>76780006>What are you preferred alternativesSeal rows. I set them up like pic related.
>>76780006For some reason I always disliked them. I feel pic related much better.
>>76780031shoulder blades have 6 possible movements. you need all of them to grow. stop disliking or u will never have lats like a bitch.
>>76780006simply pull the cable towards you
>>76780006i put my knees on the pads rather than soles. i try to keep my torso straight and not lean back. hits back way harder
>>76780006Notice the posistion of his back in the second frame notice how it's hollowed slight and he's leaned back a little. That'd probably what you're missing. Once you're over bodyweight it takes that little tweak to keep going up steadily otherwise you'll probably get stonewalled on it early.It's kind of like cable crossover in that you eventually have to push out more and lean back a little through the rep to get more of what you want in there otherwise it's just too dependant on the arms and the limitations of your leverages rather than finessing it to recruit a broader range of the muscle.
>>76780006My prefered way to use this machine is using the wide grip attachment, lean forward slightly and do not lean back throughout the movement like in your pic does. Then when pulling I dont care to pull back all the way back to the point 2here my shoulders start moving up because I feel like it loses tension in the back muscles and biceps start taking over, using that close grip like the pic only exaggerates this problem, basically my focus is on my elbows not my hands. First half of the pull is lat focused then the lockout with my traps focus.
>>76780006Meme exercise just row with a bar or the single grip plated one
>>76780006You retract your scapulae, how complicated is that?
>>76780006I prefer the supported version (with a pad on your chest) while extending my scapulas like pic rel. After switching I went from 150 to 240 in a year.
