Ffgenerations, you are correct. you can just upload the video to youtube and then you can turn it around. Also my coach showed me a picture of what the Cubans eat at one of the sports schools he used to work at. It was disgusting, I wonder how they get so strong lol. The picture of the lunch tray consists of a piece of deli meat, white rice, beans, and some kind of dessert. | ||

That an ignorant comment. Generally machines are better than free-weights if your goal is to get large(short term), tone, or just isolate more, which is what most people do at the gym anyways (mine that is). Not to mention safer for the 90% of people at the gym with improper technique. Nobody uses the squat rack here, even though there is only one so I'm fine. I'm not sure how pressed for room your gym is, but if your clean is pretty good you can practice front squats, just take benchpress bar or something. My regular squat is 275lb/285lb and now I can clean 175lb which for front squats is a pretty decent weight for me. And you work even a larger portion of your body. | ||

For example if you are purely going to tone your quads (most people doing SS/Starr will have big legs but they wont have very good definition). Squats are made quite a bit easier with explosive power and uneven force throughout the lift (you know how from the bottom you push up quickly, then you have almost a freeze halfway up, and then an easy finish). Doing say a 45 degree leg press, you are able to focus a lot more on having perfect 3-4 second reps with slow inverses. Disadvantages to machines is not working the stabilizing muscles and not training your body as a single system, but I see most hardcore body builders (including ones in mr. olympia) to support that. Not very useful for anything but asthetics however. And isolation is preferred when you want to perfect one muscle, it's impractical training your entire body through isolation since you'd literally have 20-25 different exercises to do. Anyways TLDR is better form is easier achieved with machines. | ||

Sure, maybe you don't have any problems but for me and probably many others, 1 squat rack and 1 bench rack etc is fucking ridiculous when there's so much of everything else, It's not uncommon for me to wait 20-30 mins to use a rack. I'd way prefer to get rid of some of the crap in the gym and replace it with racks and such. That an ignorant comment.
