I didn't have a short barbell to do Reeves, so I tried them on a standard one. They sucked. I much preferred a sg dl off a three inch mat.

I'm sure they did suck. I don't have the frame , or arm length to do them on a standard bar. Shorty for me or the option is out

This was a solid session in my books. The stretch on the pulldowns was pretty painful. I don't know that I could have gotten past 8 on either set. Rest periods were about 40 seconds on all exercises. I can tell this program is winding down as this was one of the shortest workouts thus far, yet still felt quite effective.

Oh man. U r missing out. You tube it ASAP. Meadows row is one of my fav row variations by far. Nice lift to have in the tool box. Hands down.

Definitely agree as well. Meadows rows have become my favorite back exercise by far.

Nice work Simon I'm glad your back is holding up. What program are you leaning towards next?
Click to expand...

Thanks Justin. Going to go with Reactive Pump. That was the program I was partially through when I got injured. So I think I will give it a go. Need to see if I can get some chains to really do it right!

I'd highly suggest getting chains for reactive pump. I got a great deal on mine at sorinex.
Click to expand...

I found somewhere local that has them... 30, 45, 60 lb set... 99-139 bucks.. any advice ?
 
I'd suggest getting 5/8" chains. They're about 20lb a piece so roughly 40/pair. Make sure to get feeder chains too, or at least something to attach to the barbell.

I belIeve mine were around 100$/pair including the feeders and shipping from sorinex.. Can't really beat that seeing as they were at my house within a week

Edit: the 60# pair would be nice too

Thanks. I will check the shipping from Sorinex to Canada (although I'm sure on chain it is just ridiculous lol).. The chain from the place that is local comes with the collars, etc.. Thanks again Ace.

Wow! Yes you did trash them!! Killer combo with the squats and split squats!!!
 
aceroni - Been thinking about making my own chains for Reactive Pump.

Think I will go to Home Depot and price it out. I am thinking that I could probably get twice as much chain plus some small link change to loop around bar for what a set would cost premade. If I got 4x5ft lengths of chain that would probably work well?

Good idea I think simon. I was thinking about doing the same but the idea of hauling them to the gym doesn't sound fun lol. I'm just using the reverse band technique which breezy suggested.
 
Reverse bands are great, but I love chains. I've never thought about making them but roughly five foot lengths seems about right. I'll check the length of mine on Monday.

I was using the reverse band technique the first time around and thought it was very effective (as per Breezy's recommendation)... just thought chains might be a great addition to the garage set up. However, I will use the reverse technique until I can get the chains.

Thanks. The day took a turn for the worse yesterday. For the last couple of weeks I have been noticing a 'klunk' sound coming from the back of my Santa Fe when accelerating especially after a left hand turn. Yesterday, I went over to Home depot to check out the bulk chain (they only had 3/8in). When leaving the parking lot it just got horrible - so had it towed to the dealer. Warranty ended 16000 km ago (which sucks).... seems early for a transmission but we shall see.

Back on tap for this evening, if I can work it in.
 
damn Hyundai's anyway
never had one (and won't), but what you describe does not sound like trainy issue, rather a suspension issue
I've heard those cars are notorious for those problems
 
Oh no!! That stinks! Hope it's nothing major! :(
 
Santa Fe is a rwd SUV correct? Your clunk could be a u joint if I'm thinking of the correct vehicle..
 
snagencyV2.0 said:
AWD I believe, but I'm not the expert rear differential could be the issue
Click to expand...

This is from experience in driving Chevy trucks. They don't seal the drive shaft at the u joint. Get a sh!tty clunk when the grease dries up... You're correct also in suspension but I'd look driveline first... It's a cheaper fix and I'm trying to bring hope lmao.


I'm no expert just a hobbiest and quite rusty at that.
 
The problem is the Viscious Coupling which they said has seized. $1700 for the part. Ouch!

And Steve is correct AWD
