QUOTE(monochrome1234 @ Jan 5 2010, 04:36 PM) Alright, sounds good. Thanks.QUOTE(Desvaro @ Jan 5 2010, 05:15 PM) 3 days a week, it's better that you stick to full body training, or Day 1 Upper Body, Day 2 Lower Body, Day 3 Upper Body, then the following week start with Lower Body etc. This would be more ideal. What are you training goals? Well i don't have a training goal, i just want to be stronger and bigger. Thanks for the advice. |

Guys, is there any specific chest exercise that trains inner chest and upper chest? AFAIK, incline bench press trains upper chest right?

QUOTE(ken86 @ Feb 2 2010, 09:36 AM) I am not anti-machine but smith is really bad for learning the compound movements oh crap, been using smith for 6months right now because the damn gym doesnt even have a rack.The Smith machine locks you into a fixed plane of motion, which develops what is called 'pattern overload syndrome'. This was coined by Paul Chek and is explained as People get a pattern overload from using the Smith machine. The more fixed the object, the more likely you are to develop a pattern overload. This is due to the fact that training in a fixed pathway repetitively loads the same muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in the same pattern, encouraging micro-trauma that eventually leads to injury. If one always uses a Smith machine for his bench presses, he ends up working the same fibers of the prime movers in the bench press all of the time: triceps brachii, pectoralis major, long-head of the biceps, anterior deltoids, and serratus anterior. But he can't change the pathway, the bar will always be in the same position. This commonly leads to chronic injury over time. The weight is stabilized for you. However, the joints operate in multiple planes. Use of the Smith machine, greatly decreases stabilizer activity. That creates a problem when the trainee returns to free-weight training. When that happens, the trainee is exposed to the three-dimensional environment called real life. This clearly applies to any exercise. Because of the mechanics of the knee joint, the body will alter the natural bar pathway during a free-weight squat to accommodate efficient movement at the knee. A fixed bar pathway doesn't allow alteration of this pathway for efficient movement of the joint, thereby predisposing the knee to harmful overload via lack of accommodation. Biomechanically the bar path should travel in a straight line when you squat but squatting in a smith machine stabilizes the weight for you and well this leads to injury and little to no carry over to real life situations. If you've been training for a long time, and looking to target that particular muscle (say VMO ) maybe it would work for a while. For beginners, it's highly discourage, look for a gym with a rack. |

I have been training my bench press on a smith machine for 5 months eversince i started gym (this gym doesnt have a power rack). By now i can only lift 17.5kg each side on bench press using a smith machine.
I went to another gym today and tried the power rack bench press, and i can only lift 25lbs each side(11.33kg). The difference is so big, and i have to use more strength to stabilize the barbell, shit, i felt like i started my workout all over again just like the past 5 months. Screw the machine. |

He never fails to get shocking stares from ppl around him during workout lol Omg, this guy is a PT?! i saw him in Celebrity Fitness Midvalley on thursday evening. He has huge muscles and all the veins are popping out from his arms, traps and lats, he is extremely huge and scary And i thought he was juiced.

been training for 5 months, started out at 50kg, gain 10kg after 3 months, and started plateau ever since. Stopped comsuming supplements (ON whey) after the first 3 months. Well i did not train my legs, maybe thats the reason i started to plateau.
I dont train my legs because im afraid it might stunt my growth, but the muscle imbalance is too hard to ignore. My upper body is larger than my lower body, so I started adding Squat into my routine this week and see how it goes. Well yesterday is the first day I squat and I can merely squat 30kg 5x5, thanks to my chicken legs. My quad gets freaking sore today. |
