agree with demba about smith machines, but can't believe it took plitt for people to look at a smith machine and think "hmm, I can military press on that." You should be always on the lookout to try/invent exercises

[Deebz]

detail exercise to me then pls

I need videos to understand how it to do it. Text is useless.

But at the moment when doing front delts we do a front plate raise/cable rope face-pull superset, enjoying it so far.

Buy a membership to Greg Plitt then :P

Can't find a video of it on youtube.

EDIT: I might be nice and show you when I come down if I come gymming with you and Crosby2Malkin

I've seen a few people shoulder press on the smith machine who probably wouldn't have heard of Plitt or doing it for that reason.

If size is your goal, there isn't really anything wrong with the smith machine. I don't train for size so I stay away from it (except for calf raises occasionally, which is only a secondary exercise for me and I usually do it in the squat rack, but if that's taken or I want to go for R.O.M I'll go with the Smith machine)

yeah that was my point brah, i know heaps who have done it who wouldn't even know who Plitt was, they just look at machines and try different/odd exercises

[Mr Snrub]

Gonna start getting my run on, haven't done any running in too long, it's gonna be bloody hard being so shit, probably run in intervals on the treadmill until I get my fitness up.

I'm doing that atm.

3 minutes sprint followed by 3 minutes power-walk followed by 2/2 and then 1/1.

Fucking hard considering when I'm sprinting I have it on 14km/h.

tbh, I knew X exercise does X muscle group but I didn't know which exercises did which specific part of the muscle group until Plitt broke it down and explained it. If that makes sense.

Anyway went as heave as possible for 5 rep tonight, going to be sore tomorrow.

My shoulders are literally shaking from that workout

Did 25kg dumbbell presses and also literally the best exercise I've done so far courtesy of Plitt.

Use the Smith machine, get a flat bench and sit upright facing the bar. Bring the bar down to about your chest and then push it up, works the front deltoids amazingly.

I see people do this all the time on bench press. I'd recommend that over using the smith machine.

I've noticed that having a meal up to two or so hours before my gym session seriously decreases my performance in endurance, strength and overall intensity.

Going to stick to having my 1:30PM lunch and only that until my 5:30PM workout. (In which I'll have my pre work out shake prior). My lunch is basically a carb fest loading me up for an intense routine. Carbs are our friends.

My boy Crosby2Malkin just dominating the 70lbs (32kg) DB's this morning. I also did chest day despite a stiff back, was careful and didn't over do things so went with more of a lighter weight to reps session instead. None of it my back thankfully.

Flat bench?

in James Pattinson being a bitch today and missing leg day tbh.

[Deebz]

Yeah, flat bench for both of us. Got a sweet stretch from the incline flyes sets as well. Hoping that can build my upper pec a little more.
