Aww thanks.. you are a sweetheart.

here is youtube vid I found.. this one was actually posted on the other board I saw the thread about. Although my feet werent' that high up and I just used bodyweight. I can start incorporating these every other workout and adding a plate on my lap to make it more intense.

YouTube - Rack chins w/o pt2

I did this also @ the end of my workout before we ended with stretching. I know I am gonna bitch John out tomorrow. He tells me that he wants to be the first thing on my mind every morning after we train BALLS to the walls

PS, I am the one that is minus the actual balls, lol.

T-Cake · 02-11-2008, 06:17 PM

Oh I've done those, I've done those!!! Well, very similar!

I've done them with my feet on the floor -- GREAT exercise! It is so damn hard; way harder than it looks! Putting the feet up-- WOW!!!

But with a plate??? Gurl, you crazy!

I like it! How many did you crank out? Did you just use a flat bench for your feet or something?

WonderWoman · 02-11-2008, 06:20 PM

well I did 1 set with my feet on the floor and I said oh no we need to make it more intense, it was a bit easier. So we just got a flat bench and rolled it over. If you go to youtube, there are different vids of guys doing them.

I did 3 sets of smith rows @ 90 pounds x 8, then cranked these out right after. 3 sets of 10 - last 3-4 of the last 2 sets john had to give me a tap to get up all the way and flex. Putting your feet on the bench = harder but makes for a bigger back!

T-Cake · 02-11-2008, 06:23 PM

And I'm allll for the bigger back, totally! Nice call with the superset there! Lovely!

I'll have to try it out sometime

I love new ideas.

No wonder you're a wonder!

Thanks for sharing WonderWoman,
I have been looking for a new exercise to add to my back workout,
Now I have one

WonderWoman · 02-11-2008, 06:25 PM

dam girl.. you are speedy @ the keyboard. Go for it..
My back is actually a torn right about now... time to hit the sack soon so this back can get some rest and get BIGGER

I'll take your word on the rack chins. But how about those wheels girl, very nice!

Beverly McD. · 02-12-2008, 04:28 AM

True . Beautiful legs.

SBT · 02-12-2008, 11:00 AM

I agree... I really like the rack chins and have added them in as well, as my lats are BY FAR my weak point!

DrewDog · 02-12-2008, 11:10 AM

I've done those before too, but never heard them called rack chins before. Usually hear them called upside down or hanging rows.

Never thought of using a plate before to add weight. Will definitely try that next time!

I love those too. I have also heard them called inverted rows and fatman pullups. I have tried them on a bench but have never added weight.

Love your legs!

I like rack chins as well. Here is a video of me from a few months ago doing them.

No offense to anyone, I think these are affectionally called 'fat man pullups'. Or maybe not so affectionate.
