cc scrap. A good idea in theory, but in practice I've never felt comfy doing that because your legs dangle, the line is lower than it needs to be (giving the wrong motion) and the tortional forces twist you out of position. If there's somethign that can be done on a total gym, chances are I've tried it.

my fave ex's on that machine is lie on your back, hold the handles for security, and hook your heels over the top handle. Then pull up. This is incredible good for your hammies. I also like to do the same position, hook the handle over my foot and pull up, like doing leg raises.

I've got a bunch of ideas on hot to improve thetotal gym, but most need some simple fabricating that I don't really have access to. Although, maybe there are some pre-fab plumbing parts like I showed above that could be done. A jobe for tomorrow... I'll see what I can do and re-post.
