Hey @Magic Mike , or anyone who may know.

I have an exercise in the program that is called "machine preacher curl". But it's the only one that doesn't have a video or explain what that is.

Sounds familiar, but I don't remember. Little help here?

Found it!

Urrrrrrg...I HATE that one!

I can never get a comfortable position in the machine.

Hi Yess,
I gave up machines entirely as they train primary mover muscles in absence of the stabilization muscles.

They are great for isolating bigger aesthetic muscles , the problem is they build faulty neural recruitment patterns, meaning you train your body to fire the big primary mover muscles, while the machine is doing all the stabilization for you. So the smaller unseen stabilization muscles go untrained.

In a real world scenario, this often leads to joint injuries over and over. The reason being is people develop these huge primary movers like “quads” on a machine, then when they step off a curb or get a little off balance the stabilization muscles are asleep and untrained, so the joint can move out of it’s central axis of rotation, and that is what causes nerves or other things to get pinched, or damaged usually leading to injury..

Compound movements with free weights are better for building a more functional and injury proof body ime, as they build prime movers, and at the same time build and strengthen stabilization muscles that keep joints aligned, and in their central axis of rotation .

So ideally when these stabilization muscles are trained with the larger aesthetic primary mover muscles they kick in with proper neural recruitment patterns and stabilize the joint and keep it in it’s central axis of rotation, when it is needed most, which often times is all thats needed to prevent an injury.

That is my reason for staying away from machines, but to each their own I did learn this the hard way.

Anyhow if you do use the machine it is imperative to align your body correctly so that your own joints are in alignment with the machine’s joints. Other wise it will stress the joints and pull them out of alignment.

Anyway thats my ramble and opinion on machines, I used to be big user of them but stopped due to reoccurring and unexplained injuries.

If they are causing you pain during the movement, you might not be lined up with the machine properly..

I been hitting the weights as usual 4 out of 5 days,

All this week I am doing HIIT / sprint cycles for 1 week to recover all the muscles from 3 weeks of heavy lifting . The HIIT/ sprint cycles release HGH, and many other hormones that keep muscles growing and keep energy and metabolism high during this period to reset the body and heal and prepare for another 3 weeks of heavy lifting, followed by another 1 week of sprint/ HIIT cycles.

Hope all is well , have a good workout.

Alrighty!

I lost 15lbs last summer doing p90x, but tony horton is sooo damn annoying.

I am going to do more walking and bicycling this summer instead.

I already eat big breakfasts decent lunches and keep my dinners to 2 cups.

I want a flat tummy sooooo bad.

Uuuuuuuuug - I'm a SLAG this week! I have been walking everyday, which is good. But I've skipped the gym. Most days are honestly because I couldn't drive there due to lack of sleep.

But, I will be back - today. Or maybe tomorrow!!! haha

It's supposed to be 20 degrees here today (um...20 x 1.8 + 32 = 68)

So 68 F for you 'Merican types! That's soooooo nice!!!! For the north in April at least!

Phew - how long do you have?

I'm doing good now, but I wasn't doing great for awhile there. I didn't post much or anything. Anywho - I'm now biding my time until I start volunteering and hopefully a new job that I find out next week about.

I don't grow yet (pity) but hopefully that day will come!

Were are we right now...stoner boot camp?

Oh, so I quit smoking ciggies and I have decided to get in SUPER GOOD shape. Is that why you are also in the stoner boot camp? Or were you just popping in to say hiii ?

Hi!

hahah, I know that was from the other day - but I like saying hi!

Ok, so last week I walked like a whore, but didn't gym. The insomnia kinda fucked that up.

But - today is another day....or something. Going to the gym again and back on the weight training with my gym buddy! She wants to loose more weight than I do, I just want to tone up.

But - today shall be the first time I weigh myself. It's been a month I think?

Hmmmm....I don't know. I doubt the scale has changed that much. I have lost inches, I'm sure. But I also have gained muscle. And muscle "weight more than", or just takes up less room than fat.

I always thought those pictures comporting a lb of each were pretty interesting. Lets see what I can find here...

Sooooooo - I can't seem to find my measuring tape - but I am POSITIVE I've lost tummy inches. My clothes fit better, and I feel more comfortable in them.

I stepped on the scale the other day at the gym, with all my clothes and shoes on, and it was just about the same as it was a month ago. Which doesn't bother me at all - because of the whole muscle and fat thing. The women who did my "physical/ body audit" at the beginning of my membership process said that I had a high % of body weight that was just for bones and such. She said I probably wouldn't loose/ need to loose much actual weight - I would just gain muscle and loose fat.

I haven't been hitting up the weight room as religiously. Too many other things going on, it's so easy to just not go.

TODAY I WILL GO TO THE GYM!!!

I'm saying this more so for me. hahah

Hope everyone is doing well in their workout endeavours. Post pics of your hot bodies if you like...

Just no nips, clits, tips, pussies, or assholes. Don't want to get THIS thread closed too...
