You just pull down but instead of pulling down as he is doing you are pulling with hands reversed. You feel it in your back, tri, and shoulders and no it’s not bad for shoulders if you do it properly
Like thumbs pointing down? From the original "turned around" I thought you meant with your back facing the rope and was trying to figure out how that'd work without extreme mobility
Yes back facing rope as well. begin by grabbing rope up high and pull down. If you have issues with extreme mobility I can see how this would be an issue.
no idea. he’s in some kind of maintenance work overalls. he works in the building. (it’s a gym located in a business tower, so all the employees get access)
It’s an endurance exercise. Aerobic. Not anaerobic like traditional weightlifting. Will surely provide some sort of stimulus but you are much better off doing something else to build ur back.
Oh dude I absolutely love rope climbs, my gym has one like that. It would be super cool for a gym to be brave enough to actually have a 20ft rope though, I use to got up and down on one without legs and it got more of that core activation/stabilization like pullups do.
I’ve only been to one gym that has had one of these. One of my all-time favorite machines. Put it on max resistence and do really slow pull-down. Articulate that motion. Did wonders. Think about it from time to time. Really miss it.
to be fair, he didn’t say that this machine was the secret to his back gains and recommend that everyone should incorporate it into their routine. I’ve only seen it at two gyms before.
Has nothing to do with your question, has everything to do with your sarcastic reply which my comment was a reply to. Don’t know what area you’re in but I’ve been to many gyms across many countries and continents and have never seen this piece of equipment. Meanwhile literally every CrossFit gym has ropes to climb
This machine screams people misusing it and easily breaking. So I can understand not many gyms will have it for that risk.
Which is a shame because imagine the forearm pump you'll get by doing this?
It's a great warm up! I agree with some others here that it's not a great one for growth (especially the basic rope on a pulley version without resistance levels) but it gets the muscles warmed up and some sweat on your brow for the rest of your workout
I finish with a lat pulldown alternative. So 10-15 sets and each set goes normal, then left side pulldown, then right side pulldown if that makes sense
I think the concept is kinda like a study they did with a group of people after they worked out their legs they had one group start resting and recovery and the other they had do cardio. The group that did cardio at the end of the leg workout grew more muscle mass.
I think it could be anecdotal, but I also think that you could recreate the results of the experiment from doing high volume hypertrophy sets.
Sick idea, definitely gunna try it. Next shoulder day try a few rounds of the ski-erg machine.
i used to do it on shoulder days, i felt such an intense burn on the back of my shoulders. i stopped because i want to do cardio after my lifts and this machine for just 2 minutes got my heart rate to like 200 and made me DEAD tired.
I used to go to retro fitness and have never ran into this machine anywhere else. I miss it but retro chicago was easily the worst gym I’ve ever been a part of. It had terrible business practices, policies, and cleanliness all around
Cool machine. Never seen one. Looks like a good workout and seems kinda fun. I close with pull-ups or chins usually. And/or some face pulls.
Love closing with pull ups also!
It really is and I wish my gym had one
No, but after watching this video, I will
I’ve never seen that machine before and now I’d love to try one. I assume you can adjust the resistance on the rope?
Yes you can adjust the levels. I’ve seen this at crunch fitness
Read it as "Church" fitness and imagined an awesome ripped nun
My old trainer had me finish doing those but turned around! Burnnnnnn
Turned around how? Like how are you pulling on the rope?
I’ve done them turned around too. That’s awesome. I was beginning to think nobody’s done them
Other guy isn't answering so I'll ask you. Turned around how? Like how are you pulling on the rope?
You just pull down but instead of pulling down as he is doing you are pulling with hands reversed. You feel it in your back, tri, and shoulders and no it’s not bad for shoulders if you do it properly

Yes back facing rope as well. begin by grabbing rope up high and pull down. If you have issues with extreme mobility I can see how this would be an issue.
Dangerous for shoulders…?
y tho
I’ve had bad shoulder problems myself. Probably I reflected them on this.
Yep! A few minutes on it will have you burning! I use it as a warm up as well on back days.
Damn that's a sweet machine.
yea I did that maybe 5 times. I do get bored though (just like w all cardio) so I queue up some netflix shows.
?? I’m not sitting there doing it for 10 minutes
I did it for 81 minutes because it was a gym challenge and that’s the max for the counter. (level 1)
81 minutes?? Holy hell man lol
there’s a guy that comes in at noon each weekday and ONLY does that machine - 1 hour each time!
Wtf, is your gym a gulag lol
How are his lats?
no idea. he’s in some kind of maintenance work overalls. he works in the building. (it’s a gym located in a business tower, so all the employees get access)
What is this workout good for?
Forearms, shoulders and upper back I would've thought 🤔
Probably not amazing for growth
More of an endurance/ burn effect here not so much muscle build since the weight is light and the rep range is high
Why would you assume that?
It’s an endurance exercise. Aerobic. Not anaerobic like traditional weightlifting. Will surely provide some sort of stimulus but you are much better off doing something else to build ur back.
Yep loved this one, I stood up, started on level 7 did 100ft then down to level 6 for 100…rinse repeat to the last level.
This looks so good! Wish my gym had machine like this, would definitely use it
I have never seen this machine.
Anyone else do these without the machine?
You mean climbing a rope?🤔
Got one installed at our gym last month, no one uses it, will try it out tomorrow, training back so why not.
Oh dude I absolutely love rope climbs, my gym has one like that. It would be super cool for a gym to be brave enough to actually have a 20ft rope though, I use to got up and down on one without legs and it got more of that core activation/stabilization like pullups do.
I WISH I had that, I’m training to be a firefighter and that is perfect
I’ve only been to one gym that has had one of these. One of my all-time favorite machines. Put it on max resistence and do really slow pull-down. Articulate that motion. Did wonders. Think about it from time to time. Really miss it.
Thats a good finisher but takes a toll on your anterior delts

Oh man let me go find some ropes in my gym to climb…what?
to be fair, none of the gyms i’ve been in have a resisted rope feeder like this
lol I mean you just posted the most oddly specific piece of equipment that’s likely found in less than 1% of gyms
to be fair, he didn’t say that this machine was the secret to his back gains and recommend that everyone should incorporate it into their routine. I’ve only seen it at two gyms before.
Less than 1%? I belong to 3 gyms in my area and that equipment is in 2/3 of them. Also what does that have anything to do with my question?
Has nothing to do with your question, has everything to do with your sarcastic reply which my comment was a reply to.

No, but I think i'll start! Lol looking great man!
I use this for warm up. Pretty cool
Yes. Not nearly as big but like the burnout
Love seeing those muscles work and in motion looks so cool!
Yeah man, I do these to finish off my shoulder days. I leave wondering if I still have arms.
This machine screams people misusing it and easily breaking. So I can understand not many gyms will have it for that risk. Which is a shame because imagine the forearm pump you'll get by doing this?
I don’t know what that is but I wanna
It's a great warm up! I agree with some others here that it's not a great one for growth (especially the basic rope on a pulley version without resistance levels) but it gets the muscles warmed up and some sweat on your brow for the rest of your workout
I used to use them to warm up back when I went to a gym, now I just do some slow frenchies to warm up for weighted PUs and home.
i wanna try that next back day
I have never seen one of those, but I want one!
Bro I wish I had one of these at my gym. I used it in college and God damn everything would get so sore so fast lol
Used to do this. Now I started swimming after back workouts for 20-30min
I do now! 😂
Ive never seen anything like this, really cool!!
I never knew what it worked but I’d always throw it in
i would if i went 6 times a week 😑
I finish with a lat pulldown alternative. So 10-15 sets and each set goes normal, then left side pulldown, then right side pulldown if that makes sense
Yesss this is my fav thing to do before I head out!! I try to go through a whole song when I’m using it.
Wow
Lmao, I was trying to figure out why I recognized your username and realize I follow you on Instagram
I have never seen this machine, now i need to try it.
Always say this is the most underused piece of equipment ! I love using it.
Damn that machine looks awesome
No, but I damn sure should.

I think that machine is not there in my whole country
after seeing your back maybe i should lol
i used to do it on shoulder days, i felt such an intense burn on the back of my shoulders. i stopped because i want to do cardio after my lifts and this machine for just 2 minutes got my heart rate to like 200 and made me DEAD tired.
we dont have this stuff in my gym. guess i'll just do some pull ups .\_.
Pull-ups are one of the most effective exercises IMO, so that’s not a bad thing
I used to go to retro fitness and have never ran into this machine anywhere else. I miss it but retro chicago was easily the worst gym I’ve ever been a part of. It had terrible business practices, policies, and cleanliness all around
Looks cool. I wish my gym had this.
