Platz hacks.....touché brother!

Chest.... Incline Db flyes.

Back .... Close grip pulldowns (palms facing).

Legs..... Leg press.

Shoulders..... Seated machine press.

Biceps.......... Seated incline Db curls (supinating .. not hammer).

Triceps........ Skull Crushers (with an EZ bar).

Hard for me to choose just one so i went for my favourites, i love weighted leant forwards dips but they are crap for upper pecs so i picked incline flyes because my upper pecs are one of my best parts and always get the most comments.

And over the years I have listened and use all these.

I agree there brother...your upper pecs are inflated big time! Honestly made me start emphasizing incline work in heavy doses as of late!

Years back when I raced I broke my hip in a gnarly get off...seated leg press would always cause an intense pain. It bugs me because I never got to see how heavy I could press. I can squat just fine though...go figure...

back: low cable rows

You're becoming more distinguished! You can definitely put in solid work with that selection brother! And fk yea...dips till I burst a head vein haha

I do miss doing deadlifts but my body just can't take the pounding anymore. For back I'd prefer one of those old nautilus pullover machines but I haven't seen one in about 10 years. Probably my favorite piece of equipment ever.

bolt781's picture

Never used one. They do look like a productive contraption!

You justified this threads existence brother hahaha...vbar definitely gets in there deep when you fully flex at the bottom! Its just badass moving your bodyweight with a chain around your neck and 45s danglin off the belt

The Impastable's picture

haha, they're usually burnt out by the end of the back exercises, but I'll usually throw hammer curls in there in drop sets.

bolt781's picture

Came in here and laid it down...brushed your shoulder off...then bounced! You forgot arms though...and shoulders...dammit you didn't play this game right...fk it..GRRL closed thread hahaa

kodiakGRRL's picture

sorry thats all I need except I would suppose I would add biceps not tri's (they get hit on the bench if you do it right ;-)

biceps seated incline curls those are what make the peaks ;-)
fine you want shoulders too I would do military presses

happy now?
