Do people who "train for function" just carry bags of groceries up the stairs, push a loaded wheel-barrow and hang from the gutter with one arm as they clean with the other.....to get a workout?

Because whipping ropes, doing lunges on a swiss-ball and one arm db presses are really not things I need to do to be "functional."

Yeah but they make people like coach look smart to pea brained clients.

I really don't blame Coach or the guys he trains, as most likely some of the stuff they do does translate as they are athletes.... I'm talking more about the avg douche. I think most just use it as an excuse because they can't put on any size, give up and start that shit training.

While GHR's are one of the best things for strength training, I don't think they are ideal for a bodybuilder trying to build huge hamstrings.

I agree hangclean. But to add resistance we'll add jump bands for strenght and growth.

The routine I am doing now for hams calls for this exercise. Unfortunately, the gym I belong to doesn't have this equipment, so I never tried them. I should ask them to get one. They cannot be that expensive. A lot of their more elaborate machines surely cost a lot more. I am always up for something new. I bore easily.

You can do a variation of them on the lat pulldown. Face the opposite direction, hook your calves under where you knees would normally go, knees on the seat, then lower yourself to a swiss ball. If you don't have the strength to do a positive rep yet, you can push off the ball to get back up.

You know if you put the pads where that guys has them in the picture, they are a lot easier than most people here let on... if you put the fulcrum at your knees, the lever arm becomes your entire torso + legs which, true, is very difficult. but put the pad on your thighs, near your hips, and the load becomes a lot more manageable.
