Dynos and the Monkey Swing

This first move is called the Dyno, great for working dynamic back strengh.
The second move is something I invented, called the Monkey Swing...just for fun...

dan i am so glad that you started to do the dynamic moves - they are great aren't they. They really build a new type of power. I like how you set up the smith machine to be a two bar system. I dont have that luxury in my current gym, I don't think so I am forced to do dynos at the same height. Another variation of the monkey swing - swap grip in the dynamic move position. For example, go from chin up to pull up and back and forth.

great post - looks amazing.
how'd you pull that off in the weight room without others around?

dan - have you tried dynamic dips yet? same idea but on the dip bar. it is easier to use the sole power of your arms on a dyno dip to propel yourself airborne than on the pull/chin-ups where a little swing goes a long way. has similar benefits for power.

I am sure you pulled off like 2 dozen without a problem, you are getting so fucking strong it's amazing.
