Looks like you definitely went to failure on every set. That's a great machine. I recently got their half rack with pulley attatchment. I wanted to get my free weight gym done first. This would be my next purchase if i had the room.
Moving the weight is NOT the immediate objective of exercise. The immediate objective is to fatigue the muscle. The weight doesn’t have to move t all (static hold), actually. High Intensity Training enthusiasts track time under tension.
Many hit people advocate a slow and controlled rep. I figured I would give it a shot. I'm not sure if there is any measurable difference between a 2 second rep and an 8 second rep, aside from the reduction in weight. As long as your intensity is the same, you should be good to go.
Where'd you get those wedges? Trying to get proper foot placement and purchase for squats and lat/rear delt rows has been somewhat difficult with my work bench
Counting reps is counting time, as each rep takes a given number or fraction of seconds. Counting seconds can be more accurate as rep speed can vary from set to set and between workouts. Unfortunately, one has to either start and stop a timer, or record the workout, and then watch it to record the time. Thanks for the comment.
Cool adaptation with the wedges on this thing. I had one of these years ago and wish i never sold it. That said, I'd watch your back on the straight leg deadlifts.. or use a platform. They pull the arms too far away from the body and that is a one way ticket to blowing a disc.
Incredible, Chris
I have the same gym I bought it new years ago. All in all it’s pretty good compared to most.but I’m only 5’8 best of luck with yours
I like the pendulum variation. But the dead lift your weight should be on your heals. And weight close to your legs. Better off with dumbbells
I watched another of your vids and found info. thanks Chris.
Glad to help.
I love this machine!! what brand and what is it called? great depth on the squat.

Thanks, I do enjoy using it!
What’s the deal with the seconds. What’s wrong with just simply repping out the weights, nice weight set

@@chrisallenworkingoutathome I say Dorian Yates hit training is better but what ever works for people as long as their doing something

From Amazon P Aladin squat wedge, I have a video review of them. ruclips.net/video/VY0jZi-WMBo/видео.html
Why would you count I'm seconds not in reps ?? Time under tension is only a myth

Yes, when using a leverage arm, some movements can start to pull you out of position.
