mrbears road to..........somewhere

[mrbear666]

HIT upper body today, did some static holds aswell feel so tired and heavy now but its nice. strength coming up steadily again, just trying not to do anything daft and aggrevate my back and so on

did some straight arm pull downs, dont know if thats what they are called but its the nearest thing i can think of, you stand infront of a tricep pressdown or lat machine, hold the bar at shoulder width, kind of level with your face and press it down towards your waist........made my lats burn so so bad.

[HIT Rob]

Looking sharp my man, Valhalla await's you baby:)

When you mentioned about the almost lock out position on the static leg extension, was that due to the leg extension's seat being at an angle making it almost impossible to fully contract? If so, those machines do my head in, hate them, thankfully gym am at now has an old school almost flat seated leg extension.

[mrbear666]

haha cheers buddy

yeh its one of those mate, theres 2 different machines but they both have the angled seat........you cant lock out very well cuz it makes your shins have to go past paralel to the floor.......it still hurt like hell though, the only good thing about one of them is it has a big lever on the side so you can heave a big weight up to do a static hold with your hands save needing a partner to help if your using big-ish weights...... doing static holds on the pec deck is just pure lovely hell. when you hitting the iron next mate?
