Guest Ido Portal Posted April 12, 2010 YgCHPB56-_Q Now this is a feat of not only amazing relative strength, but incredible work capacity to go with it. I wonder if one can go without the other. Respect, I take my hat off.Ido. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Sapinoso 7 Posted April 12, 2010 Wow, incredible stuff, this guy is awesome. On a side note, I wonder how the guy in the green shirt felt watching this while doing his assisted pull ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats actually hilariousProbably wondering if that is the norm for stronger, more buff, people. I would love to hear the story he tells his school buddies, or some of the kids who think they are hot crap for getting 8+ in gym class. "Eight? That's nothing. Some guy at my gym could probably get that with one arm." I don't think most people have a clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Lee 1 Posted April 12, 2010 I had no idea such a feat was even possible.At such high reps, anybody have any idea if one arm pullups or chinups would be easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Van Bockxmeer 6 Posted April 13, 2010 dWLnaAudDW0 another example of amazing work capacity? Having never used an actual GHR machine, im curious as to know how much extra leverage you get as opposed to just having your feet held in place, or in my case having a stall bar over my achilles.

Having never used an actual GHR machine, im curious as to know how much extra leverage you get as opposed to just having your feet held in place, or in my case having a stall bar over my achilles.It's a lot easier on the machine, but you can adjust the difficulty by moving things around (i.e., making the seat higher or lower). That's also not a full GHR. On a machine, a full GHR would include hip extension.That was still a great effort...not sure it's worth it though. I'm guessing the next few days he had a ton of DOMS, but maybe at that work capacity, DOMS is a thing of the past...haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to do a hard GHR you should try the sorinex poor man's glute ham raise. It is pretty brutal if you keep the posture perfect (even with the hands at your sides). i bought the machine and increased my frequency too much and now I have slight tendonitis at the top outside of the calf. I will have to wait a few weeks to go back to it and then only once a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have also used a barbell against a wall with pads and weights and a towel to do the GHR. Neither of those cost $300+.Anyways, I think you might be right about it being easier with hip extension. I've only done it about 2-3 times with hip extension, and I was taught to whip up from the bottom, but I was training for explosiveness, so I don't know if that's how you're supposed to do it normally. I'm guessing you are supposed to explode from the bottom, because it'd be insanely hard without doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have tried numerous ad hoc arrangements and the only one that was close was using a gymnastics ladder and wall to brace my feet with an aerobic step and pad to secure the legs from below. Alas I do not have regular access to a gymnastics ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
