Was thinking about this since last nite... caught a guy doing rows on Tbar and asked if he got those from meadows and he was like holy shit, how'd u know that lol... here are some modified or unorthodox exercises I do-
- modified one arm row: on the seated HS dip machine...I put two 45 plates on the ground , on top of each other, on the opposite side of the seat where the weights load... I put plates on and add a 10 lb plate as my grip handle...i step up on the plates to raise me up a little, grab the machine w free hand to stabalize, and i do 1 arm rows... its motion pulls the weight to yiur hip and really smokes the lower lats... actually works better than dbs imo and especially bc my gyms dbs only goto 125s.. I'll try to get a pic of this one to show if hard to understand
- 1 leg standing ham curls: my gym doesn't have this machine so what I always do is put two 25 plates right under the pad on a seated quad extension machine...I step up on the plates, facing the seat w my knee now stabalized pressing against the front of the seat... standing on the plates puts the pad now right behind my ankle and do standing ham curls like that
- sldl/good morning hybrid: I do sldl/good morning hybrid on the vsquat facing backwards... saw Compton doing them, work great
-i stole this incline chest exercise from Charles glass after a guy here posted video a few months ago... I'll post video when I fond it. ..
So what are some good variations or modified exercises you guys do?
