Yea I guess...kipping pull-ups are also a joke. my crossfit friends on FB post up pics of their ripped up hands like it's a trophy.

agreed, especially if you're doing something like shoulders/chest. your shoulders are already working pretty hard for most chest exercises. i always try to give myself at least a day between chest and shoulderstwo a days isnt worth it. leave that to football.
good mornings.On another note: What are some good hamstring workouts?
I do laying down hamstring curls, one leg and sitted hamstring curls.. What else is there. I also dead lift and straight leg DL. (I don't do all that in one day)

Lmao you guys aren't getting the point of my posts. You guys are ******g brainwashed by all the **** you read online.
Whatever though, I used to use it quite often and my body looks and feels better than most likely everyone saying how bad it is.
I'm not even trying to derail the thread, but its annoying when people don't know what there talking about. The machine doesn't help work the muscles has a barbell does, I understand that..but it still works the MAIN muscle for the exercise which are you legs. Its a good alternative if you dont have access to a barbell. May it be people are hogging the squat rack during a busy time
of day or whatever. I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use at the gym. Thats my point.
But I'm done man. My legs are quite shredded and I use the smith machine often.

This happens alot.
I got a lot of gains with machines, I didnt want to use machines but because of a condition, I had to.
When I was able to do free weights I did and my gains were better.
If it works for someone then it works for them
Even people with kinesiology degrees wouldnt talk as self righteous as internet "trainers" do.
48 hours usually, haven't taken an extended rest period. Training is too much fun for me.Regular folks juicing is just funny to me. But oh well, do you.
How often do you dudes rest? I am just taking a month off. Rest my body. Letting things just reset.
I am a girl, girls can lift .
right?
12 reps isn't too light for you?
what do u mean by drop weight?
You know the people who Dumbell bench press 40's and then grunt and throw them hella far? lol. Some gyms don't even allow you to hit on deadlifts.
iLLest!
It's for safety reasons. A year and half ago I just finished my last set and did it with 65s and there were weights scattered on the ground and my i dropped the weight and it ripped open my finger down to the bone. The weight brought my hand down and it got caught in between the 65 and the DB on the ground. Hurt so bad man
why do you say horrible?
This is what I'm doing now. I've been on this for two weeks now(major props to the dude who posted the kai greene vids a while back).Legs Day! I really hope one of the two squat racks is open. I hate the dudes that superset squats with something else and walk away and leave the weights on the bar and come back in 10 minute intervals basically using the rack for 45 mins.
But i think starting in january i am going to switch routines up and take the Kai Greene approach on most things. I am going to lower weight, increase reps (20 reps instead of 10-15 like i do now) and just focus soley on muscle contraction and form.
I already do this on bicep day just because that is how i was taught. But id like to do that with everything and see how it goes
