Day 20: New Lat Pulldown Exercise...for the men out there...
I could not stop thinking about the integrity of that door anchor during this exercise. I could just imagine it coming loose on the extension knocking my balls across the room...
My 14 year old snapped a band a couple of days ago and really got hurt....it was an older band so maybe that contributed. I think he needed a higher resistance and put too much strain on the lower resistance band??
I snapped my band. It split in two during the double Katansa exercise on day 45. You can read my blog entry about it here. http://thepeakconditionproject-seananderson.blogspot.com/2009/07/day-45-broken-katanas-and-thunder.html
Hey Marc, My band came untied at one point and whipped me across my shoulder blades during standing ovations once. I had two nice welts to show for it. And today, doing the pull-downs, my door anchor snapped, though no injuries to report...fortunately, or unfortunately (I know you all wanted to have a laugh).
Hah ha ha ha.. that is hilarious. Ask Jason about being slapped in the face with his resistance bands.
ReplyDelete:) -- This is funny!

ReplyDeleteI am worried I will go flying across the room if the band snaps during standing ovations! All good wishes...
ReplyDeleteToday's valuable lesson: do not anchor the bands on a sliding door with a mischievous 3 year old lurking on the other side of the door...
ReplyDeleteIf you don't snap a band at one point you just aren't trying hard enough
ReplyDeleteHey Marc! I'll be rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteRen had a good one:

Why would you want to die without a few scars?
