I'd encourage anyone to try incorporating Thoracic motion and Long ROM Partials with their upper-back hypertrophy training. The thoracic extension/flexion feels like a more complete movement, and the partials give a very compelling burn.
Got to try the full "Big Hipper" super-set idea out. Chose to also try out a bent-knee GHR sit-up variation instead of my usual Hanging Leg Raise. Thinking is that the bent knee will stretch out the Rectus Femoris and hit it a bit harder as a result.
I think you could go really nuts with super-setting Hip Flexion, Extension, and Adduction. The most ridiculous version I can think of is Hanging Toes-to-Bar, RDLs, Sumo Belt Squat. Recovery better be on point for that. On the other end of the spectrum, you could do Seated Knee Raises, 45 Degree Hypers, and the Adduction machine.
