MACHINE MONDAY // EPISODE 29: BELLS OF STEEL REVERSE HAMMER

This week, down the Bells of Steel Reverse Hammer.

The reverse hyper started with Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell, and a lot of companies have built their own since. Bells of Steel put a reverse hyper and a glute ham developer in one frame, so this machine takes care of your lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and abs.

The Breakdown:

The Reverse Hyper: Step up on the platform, hook your legs into the foot pad, and set your hips and lower back just off the edge. Squeeze your glutes to lift, then let the arm pull you back down. Your lower back curves under the pad on the way down, and that decompressing pull is one of the main points.

Getting Out: Take one foot out and step down onto the platform on your way off. Your shins will thank you.

GHD Sit-Up: Hook your feet in and sit with your butt just off the edge of the pad. Squeeze your quads and hip flexors to lift your hips, then run a full sit-up, or stop halfway and hold against the resistance.

Med Ball Glute Ham Raise: Turn around and set your knees on the edge of the pad. Hold a medicine ball, extend through your hamstrings, drop, and curl yourself back up. Slide the pad closer and move your knees up for a harder rep, and bring a training partner for full sets of overloaded eccentrics.

Whether you’re after stronger glutes and hamstrings or you want to take some load off your lower back, the Bells of Steel Reverse Hammer is the machine for it.

Watch this week’s breakdown to learn how to set up the reverse hyper, get in and out safely, and run the GHD sit-up and glute ham raise.

What a day!

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go over to Kansas Discount Nutrition for their customer appreciation event and it did not disappoint.

We had over 40 people try our bench press challenge, and we are happy to announce Thomas Spurgeon is our Bench Press Challenge Raffle winner, taking home a free month to SBC MHK.

Shoutout to KDN for hosting this fantastic event and all the vendors who came out to show support. Also, don’t forget to check out KDN’s brand new Sonny’s Smoothies Juices Bowls bar with açaí bowls, smoothies and more!

MACHINE MONDAY // EPISODE 28: THE CARDIO LINEUP

This week, Jake Frye is walking you through some of the cardio machines at SBC MHK.

Most episodes cover one machine. This one covers the cardio lineup of the gym, from the Cascade Treadmill to the Concept2 SkiErg, so you can find the one that fits how you want to get after it.

The Breakdown:

Cascade Treadmill: Set the pace yourself. The curved belt only moves when you do, so you control the speed with your stride. Crank up the resistance and it starts to feel like a heavy sled push on the same machine.

Cascade Vertical Climber: Strap your feet in, grab the handles, and climb. The resistance dial on the side sets how hard each step is. Run it at a high tempo for short sprints that work your whole body.

Concept2 SkiErg and Rower: Both have a damper on the side. Slide it up to let more air in and the pull gets heavier. Pull down on the ski, or catch and drive back on the rower.

Bikes, Elliptical and Treadmill: Push and pull the arms on the Assault Bike to race or just warm up, and try a single leg or a backward pedal for something different. Bring your notes to the Life Fitness bike while your legs keep moving. Use the elliptical for a long steady session at a pace where you can still talk. If Kansas doesn’t have enough hills for you, raise the incline on the treadmill and walk.

Whether you’re training for a race or just want to get your steps in, there’s a machine here for it.

Watch this week’s breakdown to see how to set the resistance on each one and pick the right machine for your workout.

MACHINE MONDAY // EPISODE 27: ATLANTIS MULTI-STATION CABLE TOWER

This week, Jake Frye is breaking down the Atlantis Strength Multi-Station Cable Tower.

If you like lifting weights but would rather pull a cable than fight gravity, this is the spot. One frame holds a triceps pressdown station, a low row, a lat pulldown, and adjustable pulleys, with a full wall of attachments hanging next to it.

The Breakdown:

The Attachment Wall: Start here, pick from single handles in plastic or rubber, short and long ropes, wrist and ankle straps, rotating handles, thick bars, straight bars, and flat cupped grips. Whatever your hands like, it’s on the wall.

Pressdown Station: Set your back against the pad and press down. The pad keeps your body still so your triceps do the work, and a rotating handle lets your grip roll through the extension. Stay on the same handle for a forearm pump when you are done.

Low Row and Pulldown: Sit down, plant your feet on the plate, and pull toward your midsection. The pulldown station is the same idea from the top down, and both take any attachment off the wall.

Adjustable Pulleys: Slide the pulley to any height on the column for a high or low line of pull, and use the step stool if you can’t reach the top. The stack moves in 10 lb jumps up top and 15 lb jumps lower down, and two 5 lb add-on weights let you hit the loads in between.

Whether you’re chasing a tricep pump or you just prefer cables to free weights, the Atlantis Multi-Station Cable Tower is the machine for it.

Watch this week’s breakdown to learn how to pick your attachment, set the pulley height, and adjust the weight in 5 lb steps.
