Indigo Project. Strength Phase. 'Back width' Move

Hi ya’ll. firstly I want to give a big thanks to CT for making such a program. I love heavy weights, deadlifts and squats are a particular fav. But my training isn’t the next. The indigo project is awesome and I’ve stick to it diligently during the lady 2 months. I’ve had a change of shift at work which hampered my progress. But now I’ve gotten used to it - I want my mojo back.

I made my own thread because chances are I will come back to ask more questions too:).

My first question is on the back specialisation workout, back width in particular.

The A moves are great, I can technically do them. But on B- I’m clueless how to do a ‘Low/Pulley’ 1 arm pulldown with rope, torso parallel to floor.

Could someone explain this more please?. I’m a wee bit perplexed as to how I can do a pulldown with a low pulley lol???.

Many thanks :slight_smile:

I’ve never done it, but if it says your torso is parallel to the floor, one can assume that you’re hinging at the hips to make your torso parallel to the floor. Then you put an adjustable pulley at a lower spot. Then it seems like you pull with one arm using a rope with your lats because the tension should be there because of the angles.

This is how I’d do it if it were me, but maybe CT will help confirm on this.

Correct, and from that position you would use the low pulley on a multi-pulley station, using a rop you would pull toward your hips

correct CT ???

Thank you & Thank you CT :)…

My back is aching from squats, deadlifts & the A part of the w/o plan I’m doing!. This next move looks tough!, I’m a give it a try when I’m at the gym tonight :D. I should be able to complete the full workout tonight :).

Thsnks again gents, see ya!!

Just a quick post :). I’ve done the back specialist movements a fair few times now, and can say it works great for me!. I can feel muscles being worked that have never been used before lol. And I’m getting a few compliments too that I’m getting ‘bigger’. I can def feel stronger !!

Keeping at it is all I’m saying :-).
