With this movement I keep the tempo slower at the begin and try to fail before 6 reps making sure to stretch and contract at the top. Once I fail I will slide down and rip off a few more reps with whatever tempo it takes to fail again.For some more great information, check out
Dave's coaching logs and articles.
In most parts of the country it's pretty cold-so make sure you're covered up with and

Accommodating resistance is also great for any joint issues you may have by taking some of the load off the joint capsule-in this case, Dave's shoulder. Once the chains are off the ground, however, it becomes more of a shoulder stabilization effect.
If you don't know how accommodating resistance works, or if this is the first time you're reading about it (hopefully not), then check out
Mark Watt's Exercise Index: Chainz for Gainz. Accessory exercises, such as the one you see here, can even be modified using the accommodating resistance strategy, while adding additional stabilization.
