my triceps were so pumped that if I straightened my arms quickly with out flexing it my elbow would go under my tricep!!! lol so wierd but awesome talk about being pumped!! that was it no abs no HIIT although will do some today and some tanning

By the way that cable cross under is one of the best chest workouts I have done and I have done A LOT.

It’s different but very similiar to the cable cross overs. You bring the pulleys to the ground and you grab the d handles palms up and imagine your lifting a huge boulder strong man style. The feeling when it hits your chest is amazing. also decline dbell bench press heavy feels wonderful.

Once I remember arnold saying weight training is better than sex. That cable cross under almost makes me thinkg that. Almost.
