Been doing this workout for a week. Killer program. Few questions.
-Is there any exercise I can do in place of hanging pikes? My arm was badly injured 2 years ago, by the time Im done with dead lifts, i can barely close my fist…
-supinated grip for the chest supported row… which way is supinated? Stupid I know, should have payed attention in bio.
Thanks in advance
The standing cable crunch is a good substitute for hanging pikes. You could also perform pikes laying on the floor, thus negating the grip issue.
Supinated grip rows are with the palms facing the ceiling in order more effectively activate the biceps.

Chad, In day 3 ABBH1, I replaced pikes with reverse crunches. Is this the possibile alternative you were proposing ?
Thanks

Thanks…
Luca,
Reverse crunches are fine too. To perform pikes on the floor, you perform a leg lift while simultaneously crunching up to touch the shins. Either the floor pike or the reverse crunch is fine - whatever you prefer.
I love this workout, it seems easy on paper but it’s one tough cookie. One thing though is that I had to change some exercises around due to injurie and lack of equipment(home gym). I’m on my 4th week and I’m alot stronger than 4 weeks ago and put on some decent weight, which is my goal.
Thanks Chad all your knowledge has really helped me move forward with my goals.
F*ck all those useless magazines I went no where with, what a waste of time, but we live and learn.
I’m going to try floor pikes.
Thanks Chad
