Quick Q - Wide Grip Chin

SkyDiva Posts: 16 Joined: 2003/03/04	2003/04/10, 06:32 PM Would it be ok if I change the Wide Grip Chin portion of my routine to Wide Grip Machine pulldowns? If so, would I need to change the Reps? Thank you

This is the most brilliant exercise for the back out there but it's also one of the most difficult. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Ask somebody to help you pushing your knees (to get up there!;o) and then work the negative part of the movement yourself; control slooowly the way down...... You'll see, with this you'll get stronger faster than you can ever imagine. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
