OK so I tried the bungee cord thing. I looped each 3 times around the shoulders of a smith machine and hooked them on the highest pins. Dont know if that makes any sense?
Anyhow, I’m still trying to get the hang of the whole thing, but at least I can lower myself more now.
One odd thing is how if I try to contract my hams on the way down, at some point, I cant seem to get lower and the bungee cord kind of holds me there, but if I let go of the tension a little bit then I can lower myself again.[/quote]
Honestly, I’m not 100% sure I understand what you’re describing. It sounds like the cord doesn’t reach far enough such that it prevents you from getting a full ROM. In that case I suggest getting a true Jump Stretch band if you intend to make this a regular exercise in your routine. You could probably go with a monster mini or even a mini if you’re really strong.
