Upright rows on the smith machien doesn't mitigate the injury potential... Don't use smith machine at all.. except possible as a pullup bar or for inverted rows. There's no legit use for it in a training program if you use it based on how it's supposed to function. | ||

Also your opinion on smith machines is questionable as well. A lot of MMA guys use em in their routines. | ||

I lifted 145x5 on the bench which is 40 pounds less than before summer hiatus. The problem is in my wrists, they are failing. I attribute this to a more intense schedule as well as summer break where i didnt work out regularly. Any advice on that is welcome k thx. The good news- i actually weighted myself after a 3 hour workout, and i weighted about 184 dehydrated. Which means that i've gained at least 14 pounds in 2 months, which makes me happy. | ||

Nor do I really care if MMA guys do either. But I do know that the majority of people in any sport don't use smith machines for their barbell strength and conditioning work. If that's the case, why would that be? However, saying that a smith machine does reduce risk of injury on upright rows is just flat out wrong. No matter who says it. | ||

Im am still doing gym sessions 4 days a week and getting 180grams of protein a day. So far, my chest has decreased by about 1cm, and my biceps by 1/2cm; can I attribute this to fat loss in those regions? I have lost much more off my stomach and thighs, so I assume its all just fat loss...the gym sessions I have done since going ketogenic have been just as difficult, but not more so, than before the dietary change. | ||

so if i could bench 200 pounds on a smith machine, how much could i bench free weight? I havent worked out a while, so what would be the best way to get warmed up again(get back to where I was in high school?)? using heavy weights for low reps than increasing reps, or slightly lighter weights for more reps and slowly increasing weight? Can someone tell me the difference between the effects of planks and crunches and which is better? Sorry for all these questions and thanks alot to anyone who helps. | ||
