      me too. I guess whoever came up with this imagined that the horizontal component of the load would be countered by a horizontal component in the foot, making it work somewhere between a squat and a leg extension machine. But it's just so damn ugly. It should be the kind of thing that you think, you try once and then you quit.

    I have heard so many warnings for that performance so I really think it's justified.

    I know you prob get these a lot, but I doubt they ever get old. I started my nutritional change and weight training journey not to long ago, maybe a year or so. I wanted to find the best way to utilize the little time I have to workout as best as I could. Your technique Tuesdays and science applied series have literally been the bible to my workout sessions. After working on my physical changes overall better nutrition it shaped my business life to be more successful too, and landed me better position at work. With that better position I wanted to follow up and purchase some of your programs to show my support, and after buying 3-4 of your programs to find out the one that works best for me I noticed that I love them all! So I wanted to give you a shout out for everything you have done for me and everyone else out there. You are the man, and thank you so much. Keep up the content! Your UA-cam channel is the only one I have recommended people that come to me for advise, and I dont see that changing in the future if you continue killing it!

      Jeff, you made good points with the Rack Pull exercise. However if done correctly it also targets the quads, hams, lower back, and glutes; also decreasing lumber stress (which you failed to mention).
      “The Rack pull throwing around weights”, maybe if you go to Eqinox or a commercial gym where your required to be quiet. For gym etiquette you don’t need to throw weights around, pick them up and put them back. There’s gym etiquette for ya.

I get 15 pound dumbbells and just crank out 100, concentrating on keeping my back/torso still and a controlled motion going up and down In tempo. Perhaps I've just been wasting my time.
