So I thought about doing Rack pulls but my shitty gym equipment doesn’t include a power Rack.
We do have smith machines tho. Has anybody tried doing this exercise in a smith machine?
I don’t think the bar path is completely vertical so I don’t know. Thoughts?
Here are some serious guys doing some rack pulls in the Smith Machine.
Can’t speak tot he smith machine, but you can always just stack stuff under the plate to elevate the starting height. I use rubber patio tiles, but you could use bumper plates or aerobic steppers or something like that.
I’ll take a look when I get home!
I want to do this. I want even more to understand what that guy is saying the entire time. I thought maybe it was just the recording but then he had to ask that girl the same question like 3 times.
“Evehearasombodyhavintoobigaback?”
“What?”
It must have been a fun day at the gym. Did you see dude waving his arms and gesturing wildly with a beer bottle in his hand? Poor girl did look confused.
Yesterday I tried smith machine Rack pulls.
It’s safe to say that I have never had stronger doms in my traps, even the upper. I started being sore in the evening, so I had doms later THE SAME DAY.
I don’t know what’s with that movement but man, I wasn’t expecting this.
Hah, I even blamed that on me not being a native speaker…
