It's a common beginner error to assume they are the same. The basic difference is the smith machine doesn't recruit the stabilizer muscles and leaves you more prone to injury because of that. You seem to be doing your own research on it though so I commend you for that.


More than just stabilizers it forces you into an irregular pattern of motion, as well as forcing you to use poor leverages for nearly any body type in order to stay balanced.

I guess the guy Volvand saw could have been doing dropsets. I assumed he was doing some kind of metabolic circuit.


Taking an exercise, doing all the reps on a set, then dropping the weight and doing the next set? sounds like drop sets to me.


I read "lowering the weights" as an eccentric after a bourbon tasting.
It is terrible to die of thirst at sea. Must you so salt your truth that it will no longer even slake thirst?

That sounds like an entry to the worst exercises seen in the gym competition right up there with the squat while balancing on the exercise ball.

When I had the flu I was starving all the time. I had a 106 fever though, so it probably took quite a bit of food just to maintain even sub-optimal levels of energy

Doesnt just "happen" ㅠㅠ -_-

edit: Today's session:

90 kg squat again: set 5, 4, 5, 4, 5 -_-;
70 kg bench press: 5x5
55 kg barbell row: 5x5 (feels like I'm not doing it properly though)

Could have got 5x5 for the squats probably. But got a little panicky/shaky. Still feels damn good to do that high bar as everyone else seems to agree. A couple months ago someone posted that high bar squats fixed their posture, and I can feel myself sitting up straighter... standing taller too. It's a nice feeling.


People who say, "I don't want to get huge bodybuilding" demonstrate that they have no fucking clue what they want, nor how to get there.

I've been trying to get "too big" for the last 2,5 years with every bit of my body and great dedication, I'm still ottermode. It's hard as fuck to get huge. At least I don't get "oh you lift 5x a week you don't like that way hihi" from girls, they mirin' now.


Lol if you want girls to mire as your sole goal you should really be doing crossfit with a small amount of muscle exercise. Majority of girls rate Brad Pitt in fight club above bodybuilding physiques even natty bodybuilding. The ideal look for them is moderately defined stomach with non-stick thin arms. My gf never cares about my arms she always wants me to get rid of my paunch haha :/

Hit an easy 315x3 on deadlift, after not having done it for about a month. Could probably hit that any day of the week atm, so I'm in a good place to hit my goal if I can add about 8lbs per week.

Nice work, glad to see your hip/back is looking good as ever

Meh I'd say I get a lot more attention at 225 lbs and 14-15% bf then I did at 200 and 10-12%. Especially in every day settings when you're muscles are hiding behind clothes. Being big(not fat big) is more noticeable than being ripped. That being said i really should cut down my bf% a bit ^_^

The whole "girls don't know what they want until they see it" definitely applies here. Relatively few are aware that there's a huge middle ground in between Fight Club Pitt and Pain & Gain The Rock

While we're sort of on the topic, what is your guys' physique goal? We normally only talk about the strength side of things here so I would be interested in hearing your opinions on the other side.

When I step on the rugby field the other team shits themselves and women on the sideline are spontaneously impregnated.

So something like this:

6'3, 108kg, prob 10% bf, Professional in rugby union and rugby league (champion in both), moonlights as a professional boxer.

"bigger than I am now" covers it for me atm.

I wouldn't mind being decaf-sized, I wouldn't mind being decaf-goal-sized (if I had to pick, that's it), and I wouldn't mind being "the rock in pain and gain" sized. I would mind staying where am I. As long as I'm making progress I don't really know where I want to end up right now.

I want to get stronger while maintaining something like 10% bodyfat. Plateuing sucks.

Yeah that's probably roughly the physique goals for non-physique competing individuals (though maybe a little smaller for me idk. I don't want to have to have all my clothes custom made). For my height (5'9 or 175cm) that would probably be around 185-190 lbs or 88-90kg at 8-10% bf. I can't imagine gaining another 30 lbs from where I am now, especially while losing a few bodyfat%. That'll probably take me a few years though.
