Love your videos! I have the same machine and considering all I have is this and a pull up bar and a couple of dumbbells what’s a great workout split you would recommend for hypertropy? Thanks
any workout split can be for hypertrophy. basically just perform within the 12-14 rep range. sometimes even 14-16. ideally you want to perform your exercises with the purpose of isolating the muscle being work and not just to lift for the purpose of lifting as much as possible. i'm not saying lifting heavy is wrong but it should be noted heavy lifting requires you to have perfect technique (preferable so you don't get hurt) utilizing every muscle you can to perform the movement for a specific reason like say you play a football and want to be able to produce as much force as you can in an instant. an example would be dumbbell lateral raise. some people try to lift 40lbs but i find a good 20lb controlled movement for 12-14 reps falls under the category of "hypertrophy". ok, to answer your question. if you are using the same machine given it's pros and cons. it say every exercise you do on her should be some kind of superset since the range of motion using this is low. check out my review below. ua-cam.com/video/ItypJPsc8Qo/v-deo.html
i have this machine and your videos are very helpful, thank you, can you tell me how to work the upper middle pecs with it, no matter what i do I cant seem to hit that area directly
Thanks for commenting. The only way to remotely target the upper pec is to lane slightly lane back against the seat and perform the 1 handed chest press i'm doing in this vide. just make sure you flex your abdominal so your lower back doesn't start to hurt overtime. you can use a towel or foam roller to brace your lower back since you'll have to hold that arch for both arms :). -happy gains friend
How much exact weight are you pushing technically if you just press with one arm instead of two? Let’s say you selected 50 lbs, how much are you pressing technically if you only use one arm ( I know the machine has a 1+ multipler due to the pulley system )
I’m actually not sure about the exact number. I usually perform my workouts with a Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) of 9. I do this at the 12-14 rep ranges. If I had to place a number I’d say around 40lb; every machine is a bit different and you can’t really compare your weight on one exercise to another
Thank you! Super helpful videos!
YES YES YES!
Please please please!
Make more videos like this where you highlight in red the targeted muscles…pleeeease…this helps me sooo much
