well. the thing is: i dont like pull ups. i know that after military presses, when i see pull-ups on my sheet ill be like: "oh fuck it. its not worth doing". and if i drag my ass to the pull-up are and i go for it, the max ill do is probably 50% of what im supposed to. AND in addition to that, ill probbaly do it half assed as well. this is my mental weakness. i know it. i am aware of it. and because of this i put in lat pull downs.
but i realize now that what ur saying is right. i just hope this realization transforms into me actually doing them - something which i doubt.

ok hold on. u r referring to a pm many months ago. i have been DC'ing for 14 weeks. i have not sent anyone recent incline vids.
when i sent u to the vids i had prior to doing the exercise spoken with superd and thenatural and bigdownunder who u know know their shit regarding dc training. they specifically told me that at my stage it is irrelevant
at that time that i focus on negs. my goal was to get the reps and lift the load. subsequently when i DID do them again, i added in the negs. it was only in this second cycle that it was advised i start the statics.
u are correct about it being important in dc training, but it is far from being the MOST important detail. and because of this i was advised to leave it for the moment. and that moment was purely my first 2 weeks on DC.
even after, BDU told me it is NOT something i need to focus on. even if i dont get it done, no issues. it is for the extremely advanced folks.

Instead, I went over the process with you in a reply. So if it seems like I'm always questioning you, it's because sometimes you miss a step here or there or get a little too far ahead of yourself.. Just lookin' out for you bud!

i know that....and i appreciate it. if i didnt i wouldnt have even sent u the pm. i didnt pm u the vids to show off lol...i sent them for u to critique because i value ur opinion.

this isnt about u or me. this is about me doing the most i can to get the biggest bang for my buck. and the program i have laid up is temporary to get me back into the groove of squatting 2x a week.
u are making this into an ego issue which it doesnt need to be made into at all.
when i read the book fully ill be able to do what i really want to do.
