Thank I appreciate how analytical you are and creative. You pay a lot of attention to detail. I hope this channel has a huge following for you one day
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Excellent overview of what you can do w/ this thing. I now own a rhino after this review.
Thanks so much!
Awesome video my man. I love these hacks. I so badly want one of these machines but they are 4.5k AUD out here! Its my dream machine and seeing you perform all these extra exercises helps validate it!!
Thank you! This was my dream machine too. Even two years ago, when prices were lower, it was a tough pill to swallow paying this much for a machine. However, I got tired of tweaking my back with barbells and knew it was time. I am looking forward to the day this machine is in your home gym.
Always like your videos and I get a lot of great ideas. Thanks.
That is awesome to hear! Thank you!
Your wisdom on these quirky and functional home-gym equipment is outstanding. I just invested some money through your links for some more home-gym equipment.
That is very cool of you to say and I sincerely appreciate that.
Awesome video !!
Thank you!
Man, now this is exercise creativity. I love your chest supported row setup, the angle looks perfect. Now I need cable belt squat machine. Rogue should pay you royalties.
Thanks so much! I don’t think Rogue has ever seen any of my Rhino content and if they have, I’ve never heard a word.
L5-S1 Bi-lateral pars defect here... glad I found your channel, very helpful tips for those of us w bad lower backs.
Please don't ever let this channel turn into a pure commercial like "Coop". Keep being one of us!
I really appreciate your comment. You’d be surprised how many companies and products I turn down because it’s not stuff I would use in my day-to-day training.
Great video! The Rhino looks awesome, especially all the versatility aside from belt squats. I loved doing belt squats for a few years. I wish I had the Rhino, but the Bells of Steel one I had with the Rogue multi belt worked pretty well. My only problem was it started to hurt my right hip every time I'd use it and it would take me up to 3 weeks for the pain to go away. I ended up selling it and buying the Powertec Leg Press and my hip feels much better now.
Thanks so much! Sorry so hear the Bells of Steel didn’t work for you, but great to hear the Powertec Leg Press isn’t causing the same issue.
I can see that you have a pullover machine. Is it an upgrade !!! Bravo
It’s the Nautilus 2ST Super Pullover. Fantastic machine. Thanks so much!
Great video!
Thank you!
+1 sub. quick and to the point, covered alot of bases in short time
Thank you. Greatly appreciated.
The lateral raise is so clever!
Appreciate it.
You and ProTim are the reason why I immediately scooped up my Rhino when it popped up on Marketplace 😅
Nice! ProTim is definitely the Rhino GOAT. I reached out to him prior to ordering the Rhino and even reached out to him during assembly. Thanks so much, Mark!
This is on my list of pieces to get for the gym
I think it would be a great addition your members would love.
It IS versatile!! And now I want the bench and the Rhino.😁
Surprisingly, since this video, I sold the bench and the Rhino. I stand by the Rhino being the best belt squat and the Super Bench Pro being a really good bench. However, I sold them to make room for future reviews.
Our workouts could not be more different as I use free weights almost exclusively while you use machines......but I still enjoy watching your videos and the great ideas they provide.
Thanks so much! I started out with almost all barbell movements, but when I started DC Training about 20 years ago, machines started to take over.
Wish I had the space for this. Oh the versatility!
With how creative you are, I wouldn’t be surprised if you figured out how to make one out of your existing equipment.
BRO THE VERSATILITY!!!
For real! Thanks so much, LGG!
I had no idea the Rhino was so versatile. I have really started enjoying using the Rhino for legs since my last surgery. Definitely going to have to incorporate it into more training days!
Thanks so much! It’s pretty cool how much it can do beyond belt squats.
Great collection of exercises! Some of these I never considered. That's why you're the hack master! Lol. The IM SBP looks like an awesome pairing with the Rhino. It's something I'll have to consider in the future. The possibilities are endless with this machine. I think the rack drop-in version is even more versatile. Some exercises I've done in addition to your collection; Front squats, goblet squats, GMs, shrugs, and seated calf raises. Great video!
Thanks so much, Carter. I recently tried to add a harness to the Rhino for squats, and my back didn’t like it at all, so I’ll have to stick with belt squats and forgo front squats and goblet squats. Thanks again!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Totally get it. Gotta keep the back happy!
@@TheCarterHomeGym yep, when the back gets tweaked, no lifting for weeks.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Exactly! I'm no stranger to back tweaks lol
@@TheCarterHomeGym back tweaks and forearm pain. As soon as I got rid of golfer’s elbow, I picked up tennis elbow. This hobby is tough!
Good stuff. It does seem like a decent machine for sure. SURE some of the hacks might take some time setting up and seem bothersome,but overall, IF you have the time and dont mind,It seems to do the job..Good video and thanks.
Thanks so much, BBD! I think all of these hacks are pretty easy to set up…if a hack takes a long time, I normally don’t mess with it.
Look, HGHR- I want to be your friend. So, please stop rubbing in my face that you own this beautiful, majestic beast of a belt squat😂 this thing is so cool, and I would certainly love to have one some day. Great video and absolutely awesome machine.
lol! Thanks so much, BGB! Luckily, I got this thing a few years ago before prices started going up.
You can also replace the uprights with full length rack uprights, put a crossmember on top since it is the same width as a rogue rack, and attach a multi-grip pullup bar or adjustable pull-up handles and do weighted pullups. And you could get drop in dip handles that go on the uprights to do weighted dips.
At one point, I considered doing that, but ultimately sold the Rhino.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviewswhy did you sell it if it was your best/seemingly favorite piece of equipment?
@@1TieDye1 I have to sell equipment in order to have money and space for new reviews. I had the Rhino for about 2.5 years which was longer than most of my equipment.
Oddly enough, I’ve gone back to my old DIY Belt Squat, which aside from set up, I actually like better than the Rhino.
Great video - I am curious - are you considering adding a 24-inch depth rack for the rogue rhino to be dropped into? It seems like an already versatile machine could have a lot more uses with the ability to easily add a pulley up high - I think you could figure out some cool things to do with such a set up!
Thanks so much! It would certainly add a lot of versatility to the machine, but I don’t think I will. I don’t need a Pulldown machine and I don’t need a rack.
I always talk myself out of the Rhino because while it’s versatile, I figure I wouldn’t actually use it outside of belt squats. Your videos always change my mind on that and this one may have sold me on one.
If you have a functional trainer and high / low pulley, some of these exercises would be duplicates, but I can’t say enough good things about the belt squat exercise itself. Thanks so much!
Great job. I’ve had 3 major spine surgeries. No injuries just lucky..lol. I’m old but have grown tired gym BS & idiots. Question shooting from the hip…what would I have to spend for 6 Nautilus machines ? I loved them back in the day. Life is a circle! I’d be so grateful for input.
Thanks so much! That is a tough question: if you search Marketplace and Craigslist, sometimes you can find amazing deals if you are willing to travel and pick them up. If you buy from an online store like I did for my pullover, you’re going to spend a lot more money. For example, I paid 200 for my Nautilus Torso Arm. I paid a few thousand for my pullover.
Just found your channel researching the Rhino Belt Squat. Had a question I can't find answer anywhere. Will taller lifters - I'm 6'5" - have any issues working with this piece of equipment? Keep up the good videos, very informative and detailed.
I don’t think so. I believe I’ve seen Brian Shaw use the Rhino. You would just need to take advantage of the additional rings in the belt squat belt. Thanks so much. I’m glad you found my channel.
@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks for reply back. Yeah Brian bout 4 inches taller...thats good to know.
Decline,flat straight arm pullover for chest💪🏻
The thumbnail got me dead! Lol
lol! Thank you!!!
yeah..its gold lol
Watching this for the fifth time as I wait for my rhino to arrive 😂🎉
lol! I appreciate that. Please let me know what you think.
Great variety of exercises, the Rhino is quite versatile just have to keep it out of the corner 😂
lol! Exactly 🤓
Thanks so much, Tim!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews all good, a lot of those exercises I can do using my cable stations.
@@GoreckiFit that’s what I was thinking.
i feel like i could do all of this on the Rep Ares and it is sectorized. Good review regardless!
Thanks so much! The Ares can do a lot, but it can not do belt squats and lunges with a vertical line of drive.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews there's hacks to make it vertical they also sell an attachment for it as well!
@@leagueofgainz from everything I’ve seen and heard, the REP belt squat attachment has not been well received. Also, it might be okay and save you some money, but imo there isn’t a belt squat hack that can hang with the Rhino or Squatmax.
The biggest thing holding me back from getting one of these is figuring out what else I should get to reach 5k for free shipping. Given the promo videos for this thing, it seems like Rogue expects people to get the Vertical Plate Tree 2.0 with wheels and a 1018.5LB Calibrated Plate Set which just so happens to bring the total to exactly 5k -- but unless this thing eats plates like a Pit Shark that seems a tad excessive. Tempted to toss a Manta Ray in there, but then I gotta opt for less expensive weights or risk not having enough... and well, plate storage of some kind probably is still a good idea.
The Rhino definitely doesn’t take as many plates as the Pit Shark. Also, I have seen some people add storage posts to the uprights.
Great video. Even better thumbnail!
lol! Thanks so much, Brian!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews The only disadvantage of doing HIT in your home gym is you never get to do 70% of the options you have. Ever tempted to train like Serge Nubret?
@@briand5047 I don’t know a lot about Serge’s training program, but I have much more volume than most HIT practitioners (which I am slowly experimenting with lowering the volume to half of what I’ve been doing over the last 6 months). As I am getting stronger and stronger, my joints (wrists in particular) are not liking the added weight, so I’m again relying more on pre-exhaust.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Serge was ultra-high volume. Would have been interesting if covered him more in Pumping Iron. Maybe lacked the budget to go to France. I use to go to a great gym (Life Fitness, Hammer, Strive, Nebula, F.M., B.M.) about 20 years ago. Over $100/month, super well equipped, and I didn't have the volume to get my $ worth. PreX is great for saving the joints. Are you staying with the 3 way split?
@@briand5047 that would have been cool. Right, he was kinda brushed over in that movie, but one of the best physiques of all time. Super high volume…even moderately high volume wrecks my joints. I am, PPL; on push days, I have a chest emphasis day and then I have a shoulder emphasis day.
Have you looked into getting the BulletProof Isolater squat rack attachment? Would love to see if it would go on the Rhino upright.
I have. At this point, it’s not for me. With the Powertec attachments and my Titan Seated Leg Ext / Curl I just don’t see how it would offer anything to my training.
Man I wish Rogue would deliver this to Europe. The fact it can be used for hamstring curls has me sold.
I hope someone will chime in, but quite a few people in other countries have told me how much they like the Rhino so there is a way to get it shipped.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks for the reply! There’s a few machines missing from their European website, but after your comment I did some digging. Everything still ships from their US distribution centre so perhaps all I need to do is give them a call.
@@jacktyler5241 all the best getting the machine. Keep me posted.
looks like a great machine alternative to barbell squats and more versatilitty too! how would it compare to a leg press hack squat or v squat plate loaded machine?
There is greater freedom in movement as I’m not fixed to a pathway like on other machines. I would take this over any leg machine except a Pendulum Squat.
I'm going to get a rhino when I move, very expensive in England unfortunately, but worth it.
Have you ever thought of building a power rack around it like Coop did?
No. It might open up a few more exercises and variations with the Rhino, but I prefer the stand-alone model. I already have a Pulldown and I don’t do much barbell work, so it really isn’t necessary.
I just saw a rogue rhino belt squat on facebook marketplace for just 1200$ but hesitated on purchase and someone else got it first (sold in just 6 hours!).
That was a pretty good price…especially if it was in good condition.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews It was one year used. The guy was a personal trainer and was moving to a smaller space and had to sell it within one week.
Have you been able to do dips on it? Saw a guy added the REP dip attachments.
I ordered those but then canceled when I didn’t think the dip bars would be high enough and I would need to perform dips with my legs completely bent.
I really like the wedges however I have a bad knee and all the leg exercises I do I don't let my knee pass my toes and knee feels good. With the wedges it looks like there is more pressure put on the knees specially when knee passing toe
It may be one of those things you need to try. I don’t experience any knee pain when belt squatting with wedges.
I plan on getting one specifically to help take some stress of the low back since I squat every week at least once and deadlift once as well. How much of a difference does it make in terms of reducing load on the low back? I have a history of disc bulges and herniations.
For me, a 100% difference.
I'm curious if you do deadlifts or use trap bar for them or just not at all? I just got a gym a month ago and did hurt my back deadlifting 285 on 5th or 6th rep just felt something and quit and later that day and for about a week hurt a lot. I then bought Rep Open Trap Bar to deadlift and for traps, forearms and for rowing too and while back was a bit sore I could deadlift with no pain with it, I think its safer as I keep my back straight. I want to strengthen my lower back with low risk of hurting it. Just two weeks later doing around 300lbs for 6-7 reps. My max before covid was a bit over 400 so pretty happy. CURIOUS what you do to strengthen lower back safely?
No deadlifts for me anymore. If my back was 100%, I would do them. I switched from barbell to trap bar deadlifts a long time ago, but eventually got to the point I couldn’t do those either. I do think the trap bar deadlift is more lower back friendly.
Hello, I am looking at this for rehabbing a lower back issue, it seems like a lot of belt squat racks have pull on the lower back... I only watched this video, would you say it takes the bend out of your lower back when squatting?
It does for me. It is important you stand directly over the pulley and not towards the back of the platform.
I finally decided which one to buy🙄 yesterday i ordered the rhino rogue. I have the ab41000 rep fintess bench. Do u recomend replacing it with the ironmaster pro one??
To be honest the way iam placing rhino i dont think i will be able to utilized the fromt of it for cable exercises. But once again i already own a selectorized functional trainer, selectorized lat pull down machine, a foldable rack and many other equipment
I only recommend replacing the bench if you want to use the attachments. Glad you were able to decide which one to get.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thank u:)
hi my friend , i wanted to ask , if u ever felt the need to use knee slevees?
i v tried many times in gym, using my hand to hold tight my knees like a massage between sets, and it is really nice that type of feeling of extremely locked knees.
but i never bought a single pair of knee sleeves ... i wanted first to know if u ever wanted to use them ?
and if the answer is yes , are u using them since the VERY FIRST moment of entering in your gym during leg day?
or only for when u reach your day max weight?
This may go against popular opinion, but I do not use sleeves, knee wraps, etc. and I have only used them a handful of times over the last 20+ years.
Just snagged one for 1200 off marketplace made my decision between it and squat max md easy
You got a pretty deal!
Used it last night during back workout hooked up a straight bar for rack pulls. And pushed a plyo box up againest platform and did bent over rows both felt great. @@HomeGymHacksandReviews
@@user-cj2hs8yk2u awesome to hear. Have you had a belt squat workout yet?
@Home Gym Hacks and Reviews also did good mornings light with belt on. I have a lever arm at home attached to rack. My local gym has a Titan one and I had a weight pin version I would use on 2 boxes. But this is way better then any of those 3 options. Can't wait for leg day Saturday
@@ronnierose1636 agreed. I tried a couple of DIY Belt Squats (the loading pin for many years) but when I got the Rhino, I finally realized what I was
missing.
Do you know if I can add anything to the uprigjts of standalone Rhino rogue, like dip station, strenghdog GOAT etc, pegs for weight plates etc...
Dip bars can be attached, but you’ll be pretty low to the platform. Plate storage posts can also be added to the uprights. I show in one of the other videos what roller pads and safety spotter arms look like on the uprights.
Love your channel - I have some thoughts that you might appreciate:
1) On the Box Squats aka Bench Squats, when squatting down, never ever ever rest your but on the pad - as soon as you feel your but just touch the pad, go right back up again.
These are NOT Squat Down - Rest - Squat Up Squats.
We train to make exercises harder Not easier (If you want faster better muscle growth gains).
2) Try to do the squats with your hand under the handles (meaning: palms up) to ONLY stabilize yourself instead of on top of the handles, you'd be surprised on how much you are actually helping yourself with your hands.
MUSCULAR FAILURE, or darn close to failure and I go at least 2" below parallel. I do not have to do any concentrated glute work because I do such a perfect squat, to where at the bottom of the squat I actually pause for about 3 seconds and then go back up. Also on the way up you can try to NOT lock your knees.
I see that you're a more advanced trainer so I suggest not ever doing box squats - except if you're getting over an injury.
Myself as an example I weighed 185lbs and squatted 405 for 10 reps and paused at the bottom 2" below parallel. I now weigh 199 at 5'11"
The freakiest thing is to watch the bar bounce up and down while squatting, quite the distraction with a Gorilla on your back.
I sometimes had to rest 30 minutes after a leg workout because I literally could not walk let alone drive my car home from Gold's Gym
This Gold's Gym was awesome because I got advice from actual Pro Bodybuilders and Power lifters, I was 15 when I learned all I need to know now. It was a gym where - If you had small legs and a big upper body you would be kicked out and or MADE to TRAIN LEGS for risk of constant verbal torment from the bodybuilders.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment and suggestions.
Do you still use the wedges? I know that company is out of business so looking on Amazon there are many for sale what % incline do you think is good?
I’m happy with 17 degree, but that’s all I ever tried.
Is rhe rhino good for leg curls? I wanna buy the bulletproof isolator for leg work, arm curls, hip thrust,calf work etc.. but IL looks like with the rhino I can perform all thoese exercises??? Well, maybe not leg curls as good as the isolator?
The Rhino isn’t great for hip thrusts. If it’s dropped in a Power Rack and a Utility Seat is used, it may be better, but I have yet to try that. The Rhino is good for prone leg curls. I haven’t used the Isolator yet, but my choice would be the Rhino for all of those except Hip Thrusts.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thank u
How u doing bro. Hey do u know if the titan attachments 5/8 will fit rogue RML-3 rack, i think they do but but 100% sure. Iam thinkimg about buying a RML-3 rack to drop in my standalone rhino. I already have lots of titan x3, 5/8" attachments. I can always buy 1" adapters if I decide to buy the rogue rm 3 with 1" holes...
...iam also debating between the 6 post or 4 post 30" to drop in my stand alone rhino to make a little space in my one car 21x10 garage. I have an Isolator coming too and i want a dedicated upright for it:).. I already have an inspire FT, a selectorized stand alone lat pull down, echo rogue bike and many other things..I also just added a one person ir sauna.
With the 6 post rack I will have 2 stations in case iam working out with wife which she does different workouts than I do and i also will have plate storage but I think the 6 post are long🙄 anyways any advice will be good😊
I am sorry, I am not sure. I never considered dropping the Rhino into a rack. Also, I don’t know much about the Isolator so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews it's ok thank u for replying back though:)
What do I do if I get "stuck" in the low position of a squat on the rhino? I don’t see a re-rack safety.
You can adjust the belt and Rhino horn so that it matches up pretty closely with the bottom of your squat. If you hit bottom, you can also just sit back on the platform. (I showed it once in my IG story when it happened to my wife). I’ve never gotten stuck bc if I start to fail, I just use my hands on the hand bars.
If I put rhino on corner will I be able to load plates from the front instead of going around to the sides or it will be a pain to do that??
I thought you decided on the Squatmax.
No, it will be too hard to load the Rhino if it is in a corner.
@Home Gym Hacks and Reviews I had decided on squat max bit I rearrange my home gym again since I received my sauna and I have space for the rhino
@Home Gym Hacks and Reviews however I will put the longest part along the wall, that's why I was asking if loading plates will be hard on the side of the weight peg close to wall
Wait, Rogue is releasing a seat for the Rhino?
It’s been over a year since I heard a seat was in the works. At this point, I’d be surprised if it happens.
Did you bolt your Rhino to the ground? Or do you think I could get away by not doing so?
Rogue says it must be done; I don’t know of many people who have. In the 2+ years I owned it, I never bolted it. However, I have heard of it tipping under the right circumstances.
Any tips for squatting with the Rhino and not feeling it solely in the knees? I want to like my Rhino, but after playing around with it for a year, I cannot find a way to squat where I a) don't feel it completely in the knees and b) have crazy knee pain for days after using it. I do seem to feel it in the knees *less* when I stand further back so the weight is kind of pulling me forward. When I stand directly over top of the cable, knee pain is much worse. I never feel it in my quads using the Rhino. I can't figure it out????
Have you tried squatting with wedges? Also, what about squatting without shoes?
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Wedges, yes. It made the 'feeling it in the knees' worse. Without shoes? Not really. I do wear metcons as lifting shoes, though.
@@hitleractually8180 try no shoes, a more narrow stance, toes turned slightly outward while standing directly over the pulley.
This is why I sold my rhino I loved the build quality but it was a lot of pressure on my knees
@@CapUnlimited I am sorry to hear that. My knees are pretty sensitive so I feel fortunate this machine and the Squatmax are safe for me.
Sorry to bother you agan. Lol
I deleted ur answer by accident in regards of the handles and the lat pull down attachment u use to do suported rows with bench and rhino
The GymPin Lite D Handle and either the Angles 90 Grips or a set of Revolving D Handles.
Thank u.
What do u think about the Lat saw and gym pin?
@@futbol1972 I haven’t used the Lat Saw, but I prefer the GymPin because it secures the carabiner / attachment.
A belt squat is often a complete unnecessary/bad investment for a home gym!
A flywheel box is so much better in comparisson! The advantages of a flywheel are enormously.
- better strength/power and hypertrophy stimuli!! biggest advantage by far.
- lower cost
- more versatile for horizontal pulling exercises (wall mounted flywheel)
- takes a lot less space
- is very portable and stowable because of the very low weight and space!!
- generally more safe
Flywheel >> belt squat
Good to hear you’re happy with a Flywheel.
Its really too bad there is no way to do hip thrusts on this machine. That would be a game changer.
I agree: I have tried, but I can’t find anything I am 100% satisfied with. The closest I got was using plyoboxes as a back support and I showed this briefly in the video where I compare the Rhino to the SquatMax. I think I also show another variation in my original Rhino review but it still wasn’t 100% what I wanted.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews do you think having a dedicated seat built like the squat md max would fix the issue?
@@MrJkillahoe415 part of the issue. With the Squatmax, the belt fits around the plates giving it an upside down U shape. The belt connected into the pulley of the Rhino gives a teardrop shape which isn’t ideal. I tried using my Prime Short and Long Bars for something similar to an upside down U Shape and it didn’t work very well.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews do you think it is pretty much impossible to get the rhino to be able to do a hip thrust no matter what is done because the machine itself does not lend itself for that? Or do you think rogue would be able to build something to make it work?
@@MrJkillahoe415 I am sure if they try, something could work. The Rhino doesn’t seem to be at the top of their priority list though.
If you really care about growing your legs, the belt squat is the best device no need to load your spine. No need to hold all that weight on your shoulders. It’s all ego. Problem is most gyms don’t have the belt squat
I’m definitely not a fan of putting a lot of weight on my shoulders any longer.
The rino sucks. First time I put 600 on the cable popped and the trolley crashed destroying it. Rogue says it's the best, it absolutely sucks compared to my edge fitness deluxe. Big boys don't buy the rhino.
That’s not something I hear very often.
If the cable snapped, I have to believe it wasn’t properly secured to the carriage or the cable sustained some damage somewhere along the way.
Good to hear you are happy with your Edge Fitness.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I forgot to mention Rogue charged me $411 for the cable and new trolley. The edge fitness deluxe could take 18 plates no problem. Also the Rogue platform lifts off the ground after 8 plates. It's really janky and after the cable issue I just can't get behind a product claiming to be the best and when tested it fails horribly. Maybe if Rogue would have given me replacement parts for life because I bought it but they charged me big bucks. I've used several other brands, even the cheap Titan and they all held up better. My advice is make sure the weight never falls because those loading horns are paper thin.
@@Baptized-sc4fy I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience and I completely understand how a situation like yours can completely change your perspective of a company. I squat with 8 plates and I haven’t had any issues with the machine tipping up and I have had the trolley slam down on me a few times when moving it and luckily nothing has happened. I have been pretty hard on the machine over the last couple years and it’s still going strong.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I wish there was a way to send pictures of the damage.
$600 box squat. Is there anything that the superbench can't do!?🤣
Right!?!? I just keep finding more and more uses for it…it really is Super!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I also had bad elbow pain when training in the past. I always used "higher volume" approaches , but when I started doing HIT and dropping my frequency to once every four days, that pain has gone away completely. I think it might have been a sign of overtraining. On a side note, that was so effective for me that I now train only once a week.
Good to hear you are seeing good results with HIT. I just love training so much and need it for overall well-being; as a result, I had to modify HIT so I could train more frequently. However, I am experimenting with lowering the volume even further per session. Also, I agree, high volume usually causes me joint trouble after a couple weeks.
Looking like Conan.
lol! I hope so.
Great video!
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
