Dufisthenics

Even though the Smith machine was open I opted out of deep smith squats because of my stiff knees.  I was planning to use the leg press sled instead but that was occupied by some guy doing silly, next to zero ROM reps.  I instead kept all of my lower body work on Cybex machines with a little cross pollination of back exercises.  In addition to pull ups I did iron cross lat pull downs, a move I had not done in a decade.   If done correctly it hits your lats in a way few things can.

After being inspired by IronLoo’s amazing grip strength I decided to buy myself a set of grippers, three in total ranging in resistance from 100 to 200 pounds.  My intention is to keep them sitting by the TV remote so I can squeeze away as I catch up on my various DVR’d programs.  Multitasking is good.
