Pulling without the pulleys

Heya T-Freques. I’m about to start Ian King’s 12 weeks to Super Strength for both upper and lower body, however I need a sub exercise for the cable pulleys. Any idears? Thanks kids. Lata.

Ummmmmm don’t subsitute make your own pullies. I’m assuming you workout at home like me. I’m going to make my own pulley system. Otherwise I don’t remember the (12 weeks to SS) workout your doing so I wouldn’t be of any help. Ciao. :slight_smile:

MBE for the shoulders use dumbells and for the legs you could do plate pushes using inside & outside of foot, does your girlfriend or sister (hopefully not 1 & the same) have any of those leg weight thingys? or you could buy a cheap second hand stretchy band, another alternative is a vine ;-), I thought you were going to be working as personal trainer of the year at a gym?

Thanks for the input guys. Hyph, man, it’s the darndest thing. I cannot bring myself to train in the gym, I’m just one of those lone wolf (monkey) guys who needs to be alone with my stuff and especially my music. Some have suggested I just grab one of those MP3 players and DL all my stuff onto it, but it just ain’t the same. In addition, working out around a bunch of middle-aged women on cycling machines with trainers teaching their clients poor form while I attempt to navigate my way through just does not work for me. And I do not beleive they’d appreciate my throwing on Rage, Clawfinger, Monster Magnet, or (a personal favorite) Scissorfight for proper auditory stimuli. Lata.

MBE: I’m right there with you. But we do plug away at the gym. Usually we’re at the lifting platform, throwing the big puppy bumper plated weights around, seeing how much noise by doing that we can create. Weeeee! Very fun.

Anywhoos, try them rubber tube thingies with the handles. Very inexpensive and they come in varying degrees of resistance.

PS: still waiting for her JADABB Diva application since, two weeks ago.
