I figured it was to achieve a certain specific pull height, since it doesn’t look like the straps can be adjusted. I did a similar set up back when I only had a high handle trap bar: stood on mats to get a longer ROM.
Something cool you can do from there is a drop set where, once you hit as many reps as you can, move the platform away and pull with feet on the floor. Like a mechanical advantage dropset.
Possibly, but this was an advertisement for the straps (I cut that part out of the image).
Lest anyone misconstrue my political leanings, I’ll explain why this was so funny to me. It’s similar to the absurdist, post modernist humor in my favorite old Hong Kong movies.
Dude this made my day!
How do you get a lawyer down from a tree? Cut the rope.
Guy at work yesterday after I shut the radio playing country music off
“YOU DONT LIKE COUNTRY? THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON COUNTRY”
“This country was founded on classical, dipshit”
“Oh. Yeah, I guess.”
walks away
I dunno about you guys, but we built this country on rock and roll.
I thought this country was founded on jug music?
And why do the first people who document their existence get credit with “founding” anything?
Jug music was like…the 20s. In the 1770s, there was classical music. My point was, if any music was to be associated with founding America, it would be classical. Not country. Especially not what was on the country, aka southern pop radio station that was playing at work.
So how did we go from classical to jug??? Seems like it’s the wrong direction.
I must admit that I listen to country most of the time because it’s more tolerable. My favorite thing to listen to is our “rock” station on Sunday mornings. They play 90s music. Their “regular” music is rarely good.
Same way we went from classical to trap music. People suck.
I also don’t have much against country, it’s just a disconnect with regards to identifying with it. I’m not from a small town, and I grew up in NY. My only problem is whenever country started being associated with “American” and “patriotic” and all that, not that it’s not american and not patriotic, but the insinuation being that if you don’t like it, you’re not either of those things.
I know you don’t feel that way, but some guys I work with do. And I enjoy ripping on them for it, that’s all.
Check out Bo Burnham’s “Pandering”. It’s spot on.
The tune of the national anthem is an irish drinking song, so jug music might not be too off 
Is there any other kind?
Other kinds of Irish songs or other kinds of drinking songs?
Exactly!
