I attached my wing attachments upside down to where the dip bars would go on my TG Fit, and then I placed my hands on top of the big ankle cushion with my thumbs over the top with my fingers. Worked great! Don’t need dip bars. Wish I could improvise that well on the chest press. Thanks for all the videos. Lots of good ideas and helps me be creative as well.
@@hybridresistance I’ve now just tried flipping over to my stomach and doing a press up off the wing attachments with them attached to where the dip bars would go. Worked great for my chest! So happy because I’ve really struggled with the chest press. I liked your idea doing a chest press off the squat attachment, but my height made it a little difficult I think. However, face down with my head up towards the tower pressing up from where the dip bars would go was great. (Using the wing attachments) I had to add 100lbs to get a good burn. Only problem was I was sliding on the board a bit.
Thank you. Son and I have been playing Lego Star Wars so it was fresh in my head. Trying to use movie numbers, but will probably run out when get around 8.
Another way to keep your body on the glide board during heavier shoulder presses is to use a strap with a buckle. I normally start by standing behind the board, bend over, slide partially down and hook my feet around the pull up (dip bars). Once in place, loop the strap around your waist and around the board and tighten. Have to feed it through the bottom of the board so it's not around the frame, otherwise will create friction and drag. But it works like a champ. Also works for weighted pull-ups and leg presses.
Very nice, thank you for sharing that. I just posted a video where I feature using a grip mat and that has worked really well for the weighted presses/pull ups.
Good to know that there are still new exercises to be discovered with these total gyms. I'm going to try the dip bar exercises..never thought of using the dip bar for doing pull ups or even turning them upside down and running the cable underneath them to do a bench press.

Awesome tip Rob. Never thought of that. If I ever feature that, I'll be sure to give you credit.

excellent. I have done those leg curls at the bottom of the board before. Thanks for showing how to do to the chest press with the dip bars
Those leg curls might be my favorite hamstring exercise on these machines.
You make this look easy. You're a total gym beast! I hope they sponsor your videos soon.
Appreciate that, thanks so much. One can dream....
@@hybridresistance Chuck Norris is watching you right now sharpening his blade like on the Predator movie lol
After seeing that last exercise....I've gotta get that weight bar! I use an old shovel handle that I trust, just enuff!! Ha! Good stuff!👍
I'm tempted to get another pair of 45s to see how it holds, but I know I'm pressing my luck.
Nice Star Wars shout out!

And if I lift my head and my shoulders up it does effectively work my chest as well!
