Life has been busy for me lately; I was prepping for a Z-Health seminar, then I went to the Z-Health t-phase seminar last week, my son broke his arm 2 days before I left and needed surgery, then re-entry has been hectic getting caught up again.<BR/><BR/>As for our lats, I am finding the pulldowns to be a very different exercise than pullups in terms of how my body likes them. Which is to say, they don't. My shoulders have been bugging me again and it sucks. Maybe I should try some bent pressing too, although my ROM is not the greatest and that could irritate them more. <BR/><BR/>Fawn Friday suggests just negative reps to build PU power, but I am not fond of that either (esp. when I can only do a rep or two anyways)<BR/><BR/>The learning curve goes on...well at least I inspired you a bit to reconsider adding them back into your routine when it warms up again.Jim Ryan DC, RKC, Z level 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/10647056454051111973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221570298953538141.post-77030764312041448682009-02-01T20:03:00.000-06:002009-02-01T20:03:00.000-06:00Jim,<BR/><BR/>great minds think alike regarding lats but regarding girlfriends, you can keep your real one and I'll stick to my plastic one!<BR/><BR/>Remember when we were both trying to pump up our pullup numbers? I flailed at it a little longer than you did but came to the realization that I did not have the resources. I mean, my lats couldn't bent press 32kg but I was asking those same lats to pull my 100kg ass up a pullup station. I have been bent pressing to build up some muscle so that I can try some pullups once it warms up outside. Maybe with some lats both of us will have more luck this time around.Ron Ipockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16228237753124186725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221570298953538141.post-86362028256691900122009-01-28T18:04:00.000-06:002009-01-28T18:04:00.000-06:00A girlfriend, huh?
