addicted? lol i doubt ill ever competely stop using now (apart from sensible cycling i mean not taking 365!), it just changes the whole way you train. It's nothing like you envision before trying, you dont get exactly super strong, you dont feel hugley different, its really quite subtle. But if you want a good analogy of how you 'feel' when training on gear this is how i see it -
Imagine putting your 1RM on a bar, imagine the feel of the heavy weight and how every muscle in the lift is quivering with the strain. Now complete the rep BUT lower it back down ready for an impossible second rep. Then just 'think' about making the lift, the muscles just obey you and you lift even though it seems impossible. Its not like you have no control of the muscles or that they are numb, its more like they work 'perfectly' and you have specific control of each fibre.
It really s hard to explain unless you've tried

No belt or anything else - bar sweat and tears

**** you Yeah it's a little faster than I'd like, and that's as low as I dare go with those rubbish l-brackets, fair comment though. I'll try it "fresher" next time just for you At least I'm getting to parallel

Haha, got yourself a little hop skip and a jump to get it back onto the rack!
