Ok here’s something I really like that I have only seen at one gym and old golds in my smallish hometown. Let me know if y’all have ever come across these.
It’s these machines that have hydraulic based resistance and are configured in a way that antagonist training can occur with a single rep. So there are only concentric movements, no eccentrics, between opposing muscles on a single exercise.
For example there was a preacher curl set up with neutral handles so you would hammer curl it up then Tricep press down and just back and forth. They had a set up for a leg extension combined with a leg curl— this felt freaking incredible. And a row combined with a chest press. Never came across these again but they were pretty cool!
