    Sounds like fun!

    Following up on a couple issues I'd mentioned, the loose rubber from back then is now shredding rubber. I'd definitely ask for bare, knurled metal if I was doing it all over...
  • Oh...

    <dusts off the old account, waves at everyone> Oh hey!

    If I let my arms fall naturally at my sides with my hands in the grip position, that's the width of the grips, and then they're maybe four...

    Slightly off topic, but I ended up with an Avenger leg press an I frickin' LOVE that thing. It's so damn smooth, great resistance curve, legs feel very naturally positioned through the entire range...

    I think one problem with the Hurricane would be movements that are supposed to start at the top. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but it looks like all exercises would have to start at the bottom. I...

    Well, it seems I agree with everything you said. Sorry for reading your earlier comments wrong. :)
  • I don't personally use mine any more. I got it...

    I don't personally use mine any more. I got it for shrugs. But it turns out I can shrug more than I can deadlift, so I'd put the bar in the rack, load up the plates, shrug, unload the plates, and...

    I do them seated with a free spotter so it'll just lock in place if I lose control of it. I still set the safeties just below shoulder height, though, to be... uh... safe. I wish my rack was tall...

    Thanks! I'm still going to wait until the end of the year, but I'm starting to hope for higher than 405. Fingers crossed.

    Huh. I will have to try it a little more forward and see how it feels. And maybe I'm pulling backwards enough, because after my heaviest set yesterday, I dropped the weight to 140 to just get in a...

    I start my reps at the top, actually (free spotter). Drop and press, drop and press, just like with bench press. I don't drop it all the way to my chest (well, for bench press I do). Doesn't feel...

    And I'll remention the Romanian deadlifts that Wildtim mentioned. I can definitely feel those in my hamstrings, both during the workout and after. I'm actually doing those instead of GHRs at the...

    That's probably a better way to put it.

    It seems like your earlier post was implying that a lot of people with extensive equipment look out of shape because they're not training hard enough;...

    It would seem you do!

    Still jelly of your numbers. :)

    Agreed, bench doesn't hurt, low or high rep. Benching can take serious effort, but it doesn't hurt.

    Squats aren't too bad, but they're worse than benching. High reps hurt. Low to medium reps...
