    for the rope pullups do you just take the rope that you would use for like tricep pushdowns and hold on to it without resting your hands on the big rubber end pieces if that makes sense?

    you can.
    or got to a hardware store get a 3foot piece. you want it at least as thick as the tricep rope. if not get several pieces and tape them together.

    I've just started the HE-MAN HOLDS from the floor.
    As holding two bars with big 25Kg/55Lb plates on a rack with only 18" room to hold is uncomfortable. Besides it's faster when you only have to load one end.
    I did one set of
    25Kg/55Lb for 30secs
    40Kg/88Lb for 12secs
    45Kg/100Lb for 10secs

    Counting was simply one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand,..etc.

    It must be the angle because I could feel it hitting the flexors better than 225Lb on the rack.
    Not sure if I should do it once or twice a week though ?
