Your Cybex machines in that gym are WAY newer than the ones at UT Austin. We're stuck in the late 80s/early 90s…

I agree about the range of motion, if u get that extra inch then its an extra inch harder on the muscles, if u dont have any pause at the top of the movement then the most that the lats aren't going to be engaged is a split second but its worth it to gain that extra inch (or watever) in the range, MRht has 11years ahed so is bound to be bigger (which he is) but i dont agree on documentin evry rep n weight, i believe in lisenin to ur body n makin slight increases in weight each week! easy 2 rembr

@ILikeToitIes actually you have to have free weights to gain decent muscle. There's not a single fit person out there who has become fit using only machines. Machines work perfectly, but not alone. Think you're just afraid to do it a bit more old school, cuz in the end it's harder because you have to stabilize and so forth, cuz it's only you and the weight.

I don't think you're right about the lats disengaging, but I think what happens is due to perhaps underactivate insufficiency and upward scapular rotation (and elevation) maybe the load shifts to other muscles of the back.

You could be right about lat emphasis but if we are okay with and maybe even want to build other back muscles, isn't it okay to stretch at the top? I am worried about tight lats making overhead pressing difficult so stretching at the top I hope helps it.

I want to point out your thumb for the first exercise is aligned with the rest of your hand. I read that this activates more of your back.

@xjvfvlj So stoked I've got rock hard abs and it didn't even take that long. Make sure you understand how your routines and the right food work together. Daniel Murray is the king of abs. Go here for his book and dont pay a dime >> bit.ly/KRLOU3?=tkoofr

@ivdbkwz sure is right. it was really hard when I first started working out and my muscles were going nowhere at all. And I must say I credit all of the 30 pounds of ripped mass I have put on since 1 video series it changed my life. The video describing the method is here >>> bit.ly/NrWH06?=sjrxci

@sozlhmc sure is right. you can make your workout sessions much more productive if your eating the right foods to avoid fat and belly. And I heard that most of the celebrities used to follow to kill their belly using this 7 food items. i found it here > bit.ly/TNwI5I?=nepxbd

Yo yo… Fine clip clip. My younger brother used to be obese. He went from 290 lbs of fat into 215 lbs of total lean muscle mass. Everyone was surprised. I just registered personally as I wanna beef up. He used the Muscle Building Bible (Look in Google)…

If you really want to get some muscle and be stronger, you must take a look on Google for "Aston Muscle Ripper". You are surely going to end up getting the body you deserve.

Or you aren't focusing on your lats.
Or your bicep is alot weaker for the weight you use.
With alot of exercises for back, you use biceps as well.

1. Sit down and adjust the pads, so they are on top of your quads
2. Put your hands in the middle of the handles
3. Bring it down
4. Arch your back
5. Elbows in line with hips
6. Make sure your wrist is straight
7. Make sure you maintain a neutral spine as you look forward
8. Bring it down
9. Repeat
