I find prime Vince Basile more impressive than Phil Heath bodybuilding wise

[BB]

Vince rigged an entire major Canadian contest, and used his fame to help build the Supinator. Phil Heath got caught (allegedly) trying to jack a bracelet like a common street punk.

Basile > Heath.

LOL. Pray tell how fame leads to inventing anything? Look at the top bodybuilders from the last 100 years. How many obtained a patent for new gym equipment? Some who did design gym equipment didn't come up with anything amazing. Larry Scott, for example. Zane had some squatting device originally seen in IronMan magazine decades ago. How many of the champions came up with an original theory of hypertrophy? Many wrote books or had some hack do it for them.

I remember going to the head of the engineering department at Sydney University inquiring about how to build a device with two degrees of freedom. I received no assistance. Worked things out by myself with some assistance from a bloke I shared my factory with. It is obvious that robots can mimic most movements humans can do. With gym equipment the user has to have the mechanical parts outside his frame. Therein lies the difficulty. My biceps-supinator mechanism can also be used for a triceps machine and an abdominal machine. I am not interested in either of those at the moment. I prefer to work of a resistance running machine. Also I might try to make a pec deck that adjusts to the users shoulder width.

Is it better for the triceps to supinate or pronate?

You have good muscle.
As for hormones - have you ever tried butter made from raw milk? It greatly benefits the whole body and strength usually goes up when consuming it.

Triceps pronate and biceps supinate. If you do pressdowns with ropes and turn your hands so they face downwards you will be pronating them. Trouble is I doubt there is any resistance when you do the movement at the end of the pressdowns. The regular pressdowns with an angled or curved handle will put the triceps in a pronated position. There is no machine that provides resistance for pronation separate from extension. I could build one but they are rather complex mechanisms requiring many pulleys and two weight stacks. My biceps-supinator has 21 pulleys.

Any bodybuilder from the 70's looks better than the guys today. The sport has really gotten worse not better. Now it's all about size and being shredded with no thought to symmetry, proportion, having hair, or posing.
