Such an oldie but goodie, especially with some weight. Feels so much better with the the scapula free to move. From what I saw in the past they didn’t help my bench, but oh well it’s just 1 lift. TY for watching Mo.
Good Morning Spencer. Way to work around the conditions and get in a good workout. I like that you hit bent over rows after the pull-ups, smart move. I actually love bent over rows on a smith machine, i would hit those a lot if i had that option. Those Zerchers from last session moved really nice, I'm looking forward to the next Zercher session.
Good morning! I’m thinking to try those supinated and maybe standing on more mats so I can have a more horizontal torso? I felt a lot of glute at the time, today my back is a bit cranky and I think it’s from needing to control the eccentric some on those, or maybe it was from going into extension. Either way they didn’t feel bad but don’t think I can push for now .
@spencergraziano6840 Yeah I always find the smith rows allowed me to sit back into my glutes. I find they tend to make it easier on my lower back, hopefully yours calms down quickly. How's it feeling today? I know you were planning on hitting heavy rack pulls.
Hey Spencer, quick question about the Pendulum Sissy Squats. Do you feel like it's super beneficial? I've done Sissy Squats and believe that they are pretty good for working the quads and strengthening the knees. Or helping with stability in the knees I guess I should say. I'd never tried weighting them, though. Does the Pendulum part make the weighting part more optimal?
@@GetRightFitness good morning ! The reason for the pendulum is to decrease the tension in the bottom , where the muscles are most mechanically disadvantaged. So a pendulum bodyweight setup is far easier than in free space, also it takes most of the balance component out. Bands make the bottom easier still, the ones I’m using I would say makes the bottom a little too easy, but I’m using them just to have more variety and force me to not rest as long at the top since there is constant tension .
@@spencergraziano6840 Alright, I'm going to skip the bands part and try them with the Pendulum setup. My figuring out the setup for this one is going to be creative. I'm not going to be able to attach it to my rack I know. It's not stable enough. From what you've said it sounds like it's a pretty good exercise to load. Loading a free standing Sissy Sq without a Smith machine is pretty difficult
@@GetRightFitness I’m not even sure if I could do a free standing sissy squat. The smith machine makes it more stable for sure. The strength on them should increase very quickly, when I came back to them I could do like 1 rep with a 50lb db, and got back to 20+ in a few weeks.
@@spencergraziano6840 I know my knees always feel more stable when I have bodyweight sissy squats in my workout program. So, I know only good things can come from weighting them. I've always thought of them as kind of a functional Knee Extension. To me it kind of mimics that movement from where the leg drive actually comes from, or the angle of it at least.
@@bigdaddytrips6197I like the legendary battles you had with Dr Rack pull and all the 4 lift comps you guys had. This is the safest thing I’ve done in my life , but I appreciate your input genuinely.
I've been doing push-ups too and it's a game changer. Great overall workout and keep going strong champ! 💪💪
