An simple fix to maximise your sets! (Audio improves after 15s)

You’ll have seen me whinging about Matrix machines a lot recently having spent years exploring different brands and the past few months working with perfectly modified ones at the @resistancetrainingspecialist HQ in the US, but in reality that’s not what goes on behind the scenes 😉
-
Every machine has a way for it to be adapted, a workaround to improve how efficient time spent on it can be. I thought I’d show you one of the simplest methods taught on the RTS course 🤓

It’s not rocket science 🚀 Am I saying you will get NO GAINS if you use standard reps on the machine? 😂 ‘Course not. Plenty have built insanely big quads kicking knee extensions into the atmosphere and hoping for the best.
Am I saying using momentum will make your knees explode on your first rep? Nope. They’d probably be illegal if so 🤨

But I like my training effort to yield as much reward as possible, with as little joint risk relative to my stimulus as possible. Therefore you won’t catch me doing volume that doesn’t either contribute to my set preparation or working stimulus, so you can miss me with under-challenged ranges or throwing inertial variables in there 👀

Simple blanket sound-bites mean people either treat this machine like football training or like they’ll catch the plague in their knee if they sit on it 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe if they were designed and used better with an appropriate understanding of how internal forces match external ones we’d get away from that 🤷🏻♂️

Another bonus of thinking about movements in terms of specific ranges? You just might be able to make them work for even more people! 😃 Think about it... is pain usually present throughout the entire range? 🤔

👍🏽 It’s one thing being obsessed with having someone capable of producing force through every range of joint positions they have available... it’s another to blindly take that to mean you should train to “FULL ROM” in every movement 🧐
