QUOTE(-Dan @ Jun 21 2011, 12:33 PM) Yeah, I had to hold the DB between my thighs. There used to be a proper dip belt in the gym a couple of months ago, but it mysteriously disappeared.  I'll try to get a picture the next time I do them, bro. Between your thighs? How do you manage to balance it? I always put the dumbbell between my feet when doing weighted dips or pullups.

How about starting with dropsets, followed by burn sets for a change? I find it helps a lot.

QUOTE(-Dan @ Oct 16 2011, 12:34 AM) Do you mean dropsets for every exercise, or just the last one? I've done dropsets on the last set of the last exercise before, not sure if we're thinking of the same thing, though.  I mean for every exercise.

Well, depending on what kind of pulley it is, most of the time, using pulleys are easier. "A combined pulley makes life easier as the effort needed to lift the load is less than half the weight of the load. " http://www.the-office.com/summerlift/pulleybasics.htm

QUOTE(-Dan @ Oct 30 2011, 12:32 AM) That's what I thought. You'd assume that using 2 pulleys would make the load easier to lift than using one. But it's the complete opposite for the cables in my gym. Load is much harder to lift with both pulleys. Strange, no?  Snap a pic of the machine pulleys for us.

[attachmentid=2512748] From the pic, I think there should be another pulley elsewhere, at the top of the machine maybe?

QUOTE(-Dan @ Mar 5 2012, 06:47 PM) It's f***ing annoying. I mean, I really don't want to diss skinny guys, because I was skinny before and it's good they're actually in the gym doing something about it. But it's only them who do this kinda shit, and they always come in groups.  Yes, you should have just dropped the dbs near them...LOL

I'm impressed that your leg curls are about the same weight as your leg extensions. My leg extensions are way heavier than my leg curls. Any tips on how to narrow the gap?
