There was a bit of discussion regarding bench height requirements for lever machines - Lacehim's Achille definitely seems to need a great deal of force to get the lever down and he's had to put it up to about 1100ml bench height to get it comfortable. The videos that Reiss has put up seem like they're using a more 'normal' bench height and don't have much trouble getting the lever down. What's your experience been so far?
Maybe they go to the Gym. I've certainly found it easier to do now, but the QM has 2 springs, where as the Londinium has 1. What difference that makes is a debate for another thread. You can't quite see Glenn's hand near the end of the pull, but I found if it's lower you want to turn your hand around and push the lever down the last bit, which is pretty dangerous considering the force in these levers. Now that the machine is on a bench at 1.05m the pull is just that, a pull, and much easier to manage. Just my opinion but I'm very glad I took BFs advice and put it on a higher bench. Edit: Sorry forgot to say Hello Glenn. Great to see you here. I'm the same Lacehim that asked you about your Vario. I've since mastered it a bit, my tamp needed lots of work!
