I have ALWAYS thought that doing number 3 kneeling is the most daft way to do the exercise because there's so little stability that the loading is heavily diminished. I straddle a bench, with the back of the bench at an incline that allows me to brace with the non-working hand. Doing the exercise this way has allowed me to use full stack (44kg) for multiple sets even as a 3rd exercise after heavy weighted pullups and heavy dumbbell rows, and today I even superset single arm high cable rows with 2-handed version for multiple sets. I see guys at my gym doing this exercise kneeling and using only the 3rd pin on the stack, and I struggle to believe this is enough for long-term growth. I notice people seeing how I do it, and how much weight I use compared to them, and yet I never see anyone else do them this way with the exception of one guy but he hugged the bench and still used less than half the weight I use. Anyway, great list!
See 2:43 in this video: ruclips.net/video/sxxoGP73zZ0/видео.htmlsi=D7v0PCYYWtw9h3Uq And note that I'm doing these exercises after all my armwrestling forearm work, too. This was a heavy stack, can't remember the weight it went up to but I sure remember I wasn't getting the full stack that day, wish the gym I go to had a stack that heavy.
Great point, I've never had any problems with using a weight that allows me to burn out my lats. But I can understand why some people would struggle with it. Thats a great variation to gain more stability! @@RDS_Armwrestling
@jacobwiding getting a good pump/burn is certainly good, but very light weights only work up to a point before you'll have to increase, and the heavier it gets the harder it is to stabilise, whereas the bench allows for more and more weight increases without limiting stability 💪🏼 give it a try sometime for sure
As long as your in the 6-20 rep range when it burns out you'll build muscle. But for pure strength gain a weighted pull up is better for sure. I'll try it with a bench and see If I can pull any more weight. I'm able to 12 reps with about 70 kgs in this position so it works for me. But I'll link your video in my video for anyone having the same trouble
Great video!!
Think you my bro 💯
Such a talent 💪
Thank you bro!

@jacobwiding 70kg is incredible weight to be fair, if it's a 1:1 pulley, if it's a 2:1 pulley it's decent weight.
