I've tried them on a lat pull down machine, legs hooked under the support- then had a friend assist me / used a big ball (forget the name lol) to assist
Did a light workout today as first time in gym in 3 weeks. Was doing 5*5 for first time as opposed to 3*5 on SS and it's ridiculously hard. First 2 sets are like nothing yet i'm really struggling on the end of the last set.
Only doing 5*5 once a week for squats and it's mainly just a reason to go light that day as it'll be the day after a run/cycle where my legs will be dead. Plan is to go light and unbelted and do plenty of reps to work the core strongly.

you literally may as well do texas method as your squatting light once a week.

Tbh i read over texas/madcows and stuff and didn't like a particular routine that much.
Atm i'm on a cut so maintaining/small increases will happen on any routine really. I don't see why people are obsessed with certain routines tbh. If someone does one daya week slightly different from a workout then it will still work.
I've taken what i like from Texas/Madcow and mized it in with what p[roved to work well for me in november/december when i was trying different things out...
Natural GHRs are quite pointless for most people because they're too difficult. The learning curve is too steep since it's basically a bodyweight hamstring curl. GHRs on the EliteFTS GHR are nowhere near as hard.
lol this, which also means they're quite an injury risk!
Did parallel box squats today and got 175x1. Now that's pretty much my free squat max - it's really 170 but I know that on a bit of a better day I had that 175. Now, usually I hear that this shouldn't really be the case - although for some it is. I wasn't exactly doing it like Westside - huge wide stance, just going back a lot so it's all hamstrings/low-back/glutes - because I feel that's not gonna help me much with my free squat.
