Default Ping Pete re Pecs!


I forgot to report back about the Pec machine Pete.

You are quite right; the one arm movement raises the weight less than
half the distance that the two arm movement does, which is obviously
the mechanical advantage and purchase ratios we discussed a while ago.

I was pleased to be able to explain it to the gym staff, who didn't
have a clue. But then neither did I until you explained it to me!

My thanks for your help, which proves that we can all still learn
something if we want to. ;o)

They should, but i am not surprised.

Over here, anyone who feels like open a gym can open a gym. Just like that.
