Plastic body had a small chip when kzfaq.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS I opened from box- would have sent back but it works well- using for warming up before exercising from full knee replacement- also use several times during day to keep movement easy. Sturdy, easy to use, easy to assemble (instructions didn’t match but easy to put together). Getting the same movement as the warm up bike at PT. Would suggest to order before surgery so you have it home ready to use when you can!!! Doesn’t take up a lot of space-not heavy so easy to move- not using for arms but I think it would work just as well

I start with a wide grip and a slight lean. I then go with 2-3 finger narrower grip on each subsequent set, usually 6 sets total. The lean also has straightened out by the final two sets with the narrower grip widths. Controlling the ecentric I have found gives me the best growth stimulus, too.

I need to experiment more with grip and, I think, higher weight. As is, I feel my forearms, hands, biceps and shoulders before I feel my lats at all.

3 Qs 1) How would you calibrate isolateral variations? Cable, machine, or most challenging the ring pullups. 2) In pursuit of full ROM benefits, opinion on the alternating rocking pulldown? 3) If I cant touch my chest after the first 2-3 reps, should I simply drop the weight? Balancing big loaded eccentric stretch with power curve limitations at the bottom.

Another point to make, atleast for the straight bar, is supinating the hands in various positions as well will hit things differently. Throw fat grips into the mix too, and you have a ton of variation just with a straight bar.

Then try and do them much more upright (as if you were doing pull-ups!) and probably reduce weight. Concentrate on full range of movement and slow and controlled eccentric. I bet that makes you feel the lats much more. I think people get into the habit of just going too heavy, make the sets too quick and with poor form. Slow them down and control them. Sorry if I’m wrong, just trying to help 💪🏻
