HIt Update

In my recent HIT workout blog, I had meant to mention the Range of Motion (ROM) parameter I started capturing in the comments section.  I am playing with this parameter in addition to weight and TUL.  I’m not sure if this is mentioned in any books, or if it is just something my trainer Chris and I am exploring. 

 

A few weeks ago I increased the leg press from 6 holes to 5 – this had the effect of compressing my legs further into my gut – more distance to travel to extend my legs.  W = F*D – therefore, more work.  Today I increased the ROM on the Arm Cross, moving the pin back 1 setting – further pulling my arms backwards –  more distance to travel to touch the pads in the middle.
