Nice vids Pits but I think your stereo might be distorted cos that cant possibly be the music you listen too!!! LOLZ :biglaugh:

you're lucky i've always watched your videos with the sound off :)

except for that one with rage in it :)

Good work Pity. It almost looked like you were shooting for the rack on the last rep with 190, Ripp will eat your first born if you do it! :biglaugh:

Bands are also a good choice for doing facepulls. You don't necessarily have to add more resistance, you can progress by adding reps and sets.

Nice Vids , Pity .

Still love the books :D

i had to search for a little while to find the right fourth book....had to be right on 1.5" :) did you like the hat?

and yes kane....that rep was fucking tough as shit :) halfway up i thought i was done....but then i found a little extra leg drive :)

The hat looked good on ya , pity . Did it make you stronger ? :D

i think it might have :) gave me a little extra mojo.

I like the idea of substituting bands here and there for anything. And if you don't have anything to do regular face-pulls on then for sure use a mini band to start. But I notice a lot of people seem to be using almost exclusively bands for face-pulls and here is my one problem with that:

One of the most, if not the most, important part of face-pulls is the end and getting that real good scap retraction with a good hold. And that is the toughest/weakest part of the rep. Which is where it's heaviest with bands. I'll betcha a lot of people are going to end up not finishing there reps..so be aware of that.

If you got into a habit of too much band on that you wouldn't be getting all the benifits of the movement.

Of course it's a great idea...just a heads-up.

i tried some banded gm's the other day...felt ok.
