Lat Pulldown Hacks 👇 🔹Stabilizer feet extensions: In most cases, one of these stabilizer feet is enough at the bottom, so I took one and attached it upside down at the top of my rack. This allows me to mount attachments and equipment like my Voltra 1 @beyondpowerofficial 🔹Rotating D Handles: by using a swivel & shackle to connect my @darkolifting D nade handles to the shorty bar, I can have freedom of rotation 👌 you can find the swivel & shackles in my link on my bio or just search them up on amazon— they are 3.5” 🔹Thigh pad: the @exponentedge infinity ARM with the LARGE PAD works very well for this type of set up, it allows for easy adjustments at any bracket for the perfect fit. Which of these hacks are you going to try?? Comment below 👇

The @hennyattachment & @uclips.co complete another side quest! This time they unlocked the adjustable hyper arm to expand the versatility for pendulum loading! Side note: I am using a swivel and shackle, to attach the Uclip to the Henny strap, because a regular carabiner would force a the Uclip to face a specific direction; with the swivel and shackle, I can make the Uclip face whatever direction I want, and it allows for there to be a balanced amount of force being distributed through it so that it can remain stable. This has so many applications so I am showing you some examples of how I incorporate this modality of force demand and context behind the application— Use this as you see fit for your own training purposes and goals. 👌 Components: 🔹Henny Strap- @hennyattachment 🔹U-Clips - @uclips.co 🔹Swivel Hook and Shackle - Amazon Link in bio 🔹Center Post - @getrxd 🔹Bench Wedge Cameo (Happens often) - @abmat If you are interested in any of the components I am using and would like to save some money AND support my page, I have all the affiliate and discount links on my page (link in bio).

Wrecking ball press 💣 Jammer arms have always interested me but I have also been hesitant to add them to my rack because I am a purist when it comes to my rack; meaning, I don’t want an integrated functional trainer nor jammer arms that may get in the way of my regular uprights. Having said that, jammer arms have evolved alongside with the attachments made for them, and sometimes I wish I had them for certain exercises so I can move weight through a fixed path- just like a commercial plate loaded machine would. The other day I saw @garagegymgids doing an overhead version with his jammer arms and a lightbulb went off 💡. So I got out of bed at 1am to give this a shot… 🤣 This is more like an incline chest press, instead of an overhead press like Gideon’s clip. But I have some ideas on modifying the position of the henny strap to allow for an overhead movement path with this concept. 👀 Components: 🔹 @hennyattachment straps 🔹 @uclips.co to load a kettlebell Optional: 🔹 @exponentedge infinity arm for easier set up if doing bilateral variations and more stability 🔹 @getrxd center post to attach my infinity arm 🔹 @ancoretraining system for the added resistance vector 🔹 @darkolifting Ancore quick mounts The name “wrecking balls” was coined by @devan.fl the lethal coach Maybe one day I can do these with a Voltra and some jammer arms @vendettastrengthandathletics @beyondpowerofficial 😬 Comment your thoughts below! 👇

Using the isokinetic mode on the Voltra🔥 In this example, I’m using it for a quasi-yielding isometric shoulder rotation drill. A true yielding iso will start with a true isometic followed by the yielding. One of the reasons I like this application is because yielding isometrics can be a powerful way to load connective tissue. During eccentric contractions, connective tissue contributes to a higher percentage of the total effort compared to concentric contractions. That makes this type of loading extremely valuable when the goal is to improve load-bearing capacity, build tolerance through specific ranges, and help guide tissue remodeling after injury. For the Voltra setup, isokinetic mode allows up to 200lb of max eccentric resistance. In this video, I’m using 100lb, which gives me enough room for the device to match the force I’m able to produce as I resist through each angle. I also set the cable velocity to 0.1 m/s, which is the slowest setting, so the pull is controlled enough for a true yielding isometric. The setup matters too. I’m using the Better Fly cuff so grip does not become the limiting factor and so I can take the wrist out of the equation. The Get RX’d center post lets me position the Infinity Arm farther away from the upright it’s attached to, while still leaving enough room on the post to mount the Voltra at the perfect angle. The Exponent Edge Infinity Arm allows me to support my arm at the exact height I need for this drill. Components- 🔹 Voltra 1 - @beyondpowerofficial 🔹 Infinity Arm (w large pad) - @exponentedge 🔹 Center Post - @getrxd 🔹 Better Fly - @thebetterflyllc 🔹 Voltra Cover (Aegis) - @eve_company_ I’m still testing more applications for this mode, along with the other modes the Voltra offers. If you’re considering purchasing a Voltra, already own one, or use any of these other components, make sure to follow along. I’ll be sharing more ways to integrate this technology into training, rehab, and performance programming.

Leverage MAXXING ⚙️ A neck harness is by far the best tool you can have that allows you to progressively overload every movement of the neck (extension, flexion, lateral flexion, rotation, and variations of translation). But even then, most are uncomfortable, and awkward to load. And trust me, I have had about 5 different models and brands. The @theironneck alpha harness plus is without a doubt the best harness I have used, it has the best quality in components, materials, accessories, and definitely stands out in comfort level. However, it doesn’t change the fact that loading the neck via attachments at the head is a difficult thing, and with a simple attachment point at one of the rings, the resistance profile will be lacking towards on end of the ROM. By using your own skull as a surface upon which you can distribute force - with a long strap - through the movements ROM, you can essentially create a “cam” system just like most selectorized gym machines use to achieve consistent tension in the exercise. This creates an resistance profile with a “variable resistance vector” that follows the direction that the strap is pulling the ring on the far side of the harness— at any given moment of the movement, which means it will literally give you a resistance sensation of “coiling/winding” during rotational movements or “tilting” when applied to the sagittal or frontal plane. The strap I am using in this video comes in the alpha harness pro kit and is perfect for this application. Additionally, I prefer using the @ancoretraining Ancore Pro as the load component over regular cable stacks because eliminating the potential “floating” or “crashing” of a weight due to changes in momentum provides much smoother resistance experience that let’s me train at high effort levels comfortably regardless of the speed of my reps, particularly for white or red tissue adaptations (neurologic adaptations may benefit from exposure to oscillating or impact force modalities).

3 ways to press BILATERALLY with one Voltra 👇 Mainly for resistance mode integration @beyondpowerofficial 🔹 Suspended push ups: This is a great variation that also gives the additional resistance of your bodyweight. If a bodyweight suspended push up is too advanced… you can invert this, place the voltra on the top crossmember and have it assist you with the eccentric mode turned on. The voltra’s eccentric is now your concentric— by overloading the eccentric, you make the concentric easier, while the eccentric can remain harder. Using the @hennyattachment belt and the @abmat 1/4 rings. 🔹 Inverted-eccentric-overload bench press: Same concept as the assisted version of the push up that I explained above. By placing the Voltra in an assisting position, it’s eccentric phase will be your concentric, load the bar heavier than usual, and have the Voltra’s eccentric mode with a selection to assist your concentric. Make sure you use spotter arms! and if you are using the autoload function- factor in that the first rep will be progressively loaded… if the bar is too heavy, you won’t like this. 🔹 Multilink connector (shorty bar @darkolifting ) with some straps will surely get the job done to give you space to press.

Break down and context of the standing leg extension👇 Context: 🔹 Leg extensions target the quads, however, the rectus femoris crosses the hip AND the knee joint, so it also assists in hip flexion. If the intention is to train this tissue, the hip and the knee must be trained with the respective function. Furthermore, when training the rec fem at the knee joint, positioning the hip in extension with amplify the stimulus to it.

Reinforce your connective tissue with unlimited eccentric resistance ✅ @beyondpowerofficial Eccentrics are very effective for stimulating connective tissue because during the eccentric phase of a movement, the percentage of force distributed through connective tissue is higher than it is during the concentric phase. With the max eccentric resistance set to “unlimited” you can take advantage of this mechanism by DELOADING the concentric and exclusively focusing effort in the eccentric. Make sure your Voltra is not nerfed! If you purchased your unit before the update (late 2025), your settings may have the limit to 60% — This is just one of the many applications to this resistance mode that I don’t see many people taking advantage of— Other components- 🔹 @exponentedge - the pad I am using to support my arm in all the clips is the infinity pad with the large pad attachment. 🔹 @getrxd - center post 🔹Various handles— — @darkolifting - D nade handles (red and black) — @trakfitness - Trak handles sport Leave a comment with the exercise you are going to try this with! 👇

Cable bench pressing with the @bulletpulley system Save this one; you will want to come back later... Notes: 👉 Bullet pulleys can be attached to a bottom crossmember (facing sideways or up) to allow lower starting points for exercises— this works exceptionally well if you have front feet stabilizers on your racks. 👉 Spotter arms with hole spacing can be great support anchors for high pulleys— you can adjust the height and position them in any direction that is convenient: including facing outside the rack. 👉 Using TWO bullet pulleys makes a HUGE difference: the bullet pulley doesn’t have full 360* freedom to swivel or tilt- when placed on an upright, the pulley performs best when the cable is being routed on the same side of the upright as it is being fed into the pulley; but with an additional pulley, the second BP can guide the cable in any direction smoothly.

Loaded ankle inversion - closed chain I have been really liking how the combo of the @spacermobility origo board & flex spacers facilitates lateral and medial ankle work… This supported set up for loading ankle inversion is one I have been continuously coming back to because of how I can “feel” the tissues I am trying to adapt and develop. This doesn’t necessarily that closed chain is “better”, however it definitely provided a different stimulus neurologically and mechanically. I am specifically removing the balance component to turn this into a tissue specific input where I can put as much force through the target tissue as possible. I place my knee on the @abmat roobox and wrap the @pjfperformance grey band around the box so I can stay centered and minimize adjustments between legs.

How to use isometric test results on the Voltra 1 ⚡️ @beyondpowerofficial This may just be one of the MOST useful features you can have access to in your training. Isometric test results will give you invaluable insight into the health of your joints and tissues — then you can create educated strategies based on the actual metrics that the test provides you!

Here is why I like it 👇 @abmat In my experience as a coach, lateral races are a great option, especially when people struggle when doing overhead pressing movements. But in a lot of cases, the traps will take over, and in a regular lateral raise, the shoulder does not experience any mechanical tension at the bottom because the weight is sitting right underneath the shoulder… You can try to use a cable to fix this issue, but then you have to account for the actual physical cable having to go across your body to get to the opposing arm so that you can do the exercise. Which means that you are limited in what position you can do this exercise in. This variation takes care of both of those issues, giving you full freedom of movement and maximizing the mechanical tension throughout the entire range of motion. With some extra bonus tips!
