Rack Chin Breakdown
I’ve seen the claim that the Rack Chin has a great profile for pulling movements; meaning that the exercise is hardest at the bottom and gets gradually easier as you come up.
𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭
This doesn’t mean it FEELS easier.
An exercise that gets easier where you get weaker might feel difficult the whole way through.
Enter the claim that the Rack Chin matches the Pulling Strength profile, which would be wonderful if it were true but alas, it’s not.
It’s still an awesome movement but that’s not because of its profile.
If you’ve added the move in because of that rationale and you want to know more…
Here’s the Physics behind it.

Fitness Rant Be Kind Always
zhlédnutí 64Před 3 lety
Can you disagree with me here while still being kind? What if I take it badly? Were your actions still kind? If they were, were they kind for me or kind for you? What if I take it badly now but change my mind later and come to thank you, is that kind or unkind or both? If a Holy Text contains the infallible word of God, and disobedience to it condemns a person to an eternity of cabbage and g...

THE PHYSICS OF THE TRX ROW
zhlédnutí 149Před 3 lety
The basics are relatively simple for this movement but the added extras get a little complex quickly. That said, the TRX Row in its basic format has a lovely pulling profile, in that it gets lighter as you pull up (provided you’re not too low down); something you would like from your pulling movements. The problem is that you end up being able to do 100. The solution is to add a weighted vest o...
Inclined Planes; Hack Squats & Leg Presses
zhlédnutí 211Před 3 lety
We’ve done the mathsy stuff for why we lift less weight on angled pressing machines, but we don’t lift on a blackboard. How do we know that’s not just bollocks? Simple. You test it. So let’s test it with a plank of wood, a clamp and a small cart. Basically NASA level equipment over here. For the love of all that is holy, tell me you thought that was awesome and cool…

A Closer Look At Close Grip Pressing

Close Grip is for Triceps right? Or I should do my Push Ups tight to the body like the Crossfit people? Mmmmm. Let’s say no but give it more clarity shall we. Does this change anything that you guys think about the Close Grip Pressing family of moves?
Fitness Rant - Unfollow Everything That Doesn't Serve You

If there’s a greater way to produce more and more echo chambers, more and more division and more and more self righteous indignation of everything other than your currently held beliefs - I don’t know what it is.

Can You Grow Without Weights?
zhlédnutí 51Před 3 lety
How did this study by Counts et al (2016) find that a “no load” condition led to the same amount of growth (arguably more if we include the Triceps) as a “loaded” condition? Quite simply, piss poor categorisation of what a Force is. #
Chain Mechanics
zhlédnutí 84Před 3 lety
I’m sure lots of you will have heard exercises referred to as either open or closed chain. Then you’ll hear things like closed chains are functional while open ones aren’t (and other such bollocks). Here’s what those terms actually mean alongside demos from Meccano so you can see the real features of an open versus a closed chain.
Friction On A Leg Press

If you haven’t watched the Inclined Plane Leg Press video, watch that first. What’s the next thing we have to at least consider when thinking about a certain type of Leg Press (I say certain because some of them work around a rotating axis instead of a slope) or Hack Squat.
Leg Press Maths & Inclined Planes

Ever wanted to know precisely why you’re dealing with less load when performing a Leg Press than a Squat? Or why the lower the incline of the Hack Squat, the more you’re able to lift? Here’s why. Thanks Physics.

Delt Research That Didn't Need To Be Done
i did three sets of these, i cant even walk up the stairs.
The only acceptable form of blackface left... im fucking dead
Hahahahahaha man im so glad i found this channel.
Loved the dr seus free style. You make a very good point, ive had friends decline training with me because they didnt want to get as muscular as me. Lol dont worry bro you wont
I know i literally just commented, but as the video continued i realized this is a literal gold mine of information. Been reading and watching videos on these types scientific studies and putting allot of stock in the results. Turns out most of these studies are extremely flawed as you have listed many variables not taken into consideration. You are doing gods work keep it up!
Subscribed. I love your energy and humor. Look forward to binge watching your videos
Damn I thought I found a vertical pull that got easier at the top and heaviest at the bottom that i could do at home :/ I was a little suspicious though and had to check it out. I admit the math was over my head but thanks for clearing that up for me. Is there any way you know of to achieve this besides special machines at the gym?
Amazing..😇 really it would be helpful ✨👍🏻 thnks for video...bt where is the link of this tracker??? Can you please help me create this sheet plz 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My issue with this is the degree of hip flexion one is in at the peak concentric point of the exercise. Otherwise I love the ecentric depth and the premise of this machine.
do you love me too?
Thanks Bro. It was very useful to me
...so, not maximus
That is beautiful ; )
Would it be hardest in the mid range? Because though the moment arm is furthest at the top are body’s lock out is also strongest at the top
Do you recommend pausing at the top of the curl?
Thanks for being straight to the point. Door assist is just what I needed.
I can’t even do one - despite being a big guy who can squat 110kg
Tough challenge aren't they!
Ver nice and helpful. But dear sir how many times doing this tell me please
Do 3 sets of 12, that should be enough.
👌👍
bravo
Is this the Primal Strength machine by any chance? I’m curious how it compares to the Atlantis
This is the Watson Gym pendulum squat, however they have recently modified it with an adjustable foot pad
Wonderful greetings to you from the Arab countries of Iraq. 😀💖🇮🇶😍✨
Nice clear concise instruction. Cheers.
Hey there. I enjoyed your video so much. I have been trying to research for a vid similar to yours that really educates everything in this vid.Your vid for sure reminds me of the channel of Dr. Ethan. Ethan's explanations are totally insightful and he actually helped me a lot on my studies. He is a helpful medical student.

Is this harder than a barbell squat?
That's super open ended as question. It'll depend on experience with the movement (most people have done a lot more Back Squatting than Pendulum Squatting). The structure of you - some people suit Squatting super well, others, like myself not so much. The pendulum has the weight further away from the axis of the machine than a Barbell does, which means you'll need a lot less weight on this than Squatting.
"Squeeze it like it owes you money" 😂 I will think of that next time!
I can't remember who I first heard it from but it's a great line!
You are great at explaining, I hope your channel blows up soon!
Thank you!
This reminds me of the Jay Z line in Moment Of Clarity when he said something along the lines of "I can't help the poor if I'm one of them so I got rich and gave back so it's a win win."
Hey there. It's a problem with the title of your vdos as it shows only Little boxes instead of letters
Ahhh - bugger. Thank you! Will rectify now!
Hi there, would you be willing to send this to me?
What about performing hip abduction and then lifting?
How do you mean? As in perform the abduction before the Bridge? If so, yeah, it doesn't matter which you start with. Most of the challenge from this movement comes from the band pushing in continually rather than the floor pushing up (if you're unsure, try it without the band and you'll find out how easy it is without the band challenge). Or did you mean something else?
thx for the vid
💜😚💯💋💜😚🙆♂️💋❤🥰🤞😘❤🥰🤞🧡😁😁🤞☺️🧡
What a great vid! Keep it up brother
Thanks dude!
