Joshua Naterman Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I tried butterfly on a free motion machine, could do 6-8 reps with 25% BW I felt a lot stress on my bicep tendon, especially the moment right after the pull, after that it gets a bit better, when both my arms are at horizontal (I actually don't feel much stress on bicep as before), so butterfly pull is really an advanced skill. I didn't feel much on the shoulders, not much on lats either because it is bottle necked by the weak bicep tendon.Try it with a 10 second pull. That will really let you know more than doing reps.Caution: try this with a lower weight first, don't hurt yourself. You may very well discover that you don't actually know how the activation should work. It took me a while to really get that down, but when you do it's very lat intensive whether or not you feel it in the biceps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Van Gelder Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's also possible to do Maltese with arms at 90 degrees with the body? with legs in straddle of course. I don't know if i explain it correct....I saw Van Gelder doing something like this i think, but not sure if the arms were complety 90 degrees, maybe not.

Joshua Naterman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Not without feet supported or a large counterweight hanging off of the head... With a wide straddle the arms can be much wider than when in full lay, but 90 degrees can't happen. It's above the center of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Van Gelder Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is it also possible to do an inverted cross straight arm press to handstand? I have seen Yuri van Gelder do it before in an exhibition in a youtube video, but he was using some bands or wires that take off some of his weight.I'm also searching for this but cannot find it! but pretty sure it's possible. Anyone knows a video of this? i really want to see it.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
