the question that should be asked when deciding to use the smith machine, is why? are you have pain? fix the pain not the symptom then.

...should go approx from where you left off if you didn't cut on macros in those 2 months, and had solid training beforehand.

Had no solid training before that, and lost 2 kg because I didn't eat well... :(

315lb clean here. The sign in the back says DO NOT DROP WEIGHTS
You had a shit day!
Wow... I asked the dude in charge of buying new stuff for the gym, if we could get some heavier dumbbells cause they're too light ( 35 kilos is max ). He replied " Nah, not gonna happen. Heavier weights will attract people abusing steroids. "
OH COME ON...

queef you should compete in strongman competitions or something cuz that shit aint normal
itt we learn bleach is inbred
Always doubt myself on the rack position but to clarify:
The bar should be close to the neck ABOVE the 2 pointy bits of the collarbone. Cause the position where the bar is infront is more comfortable but less stable.
shit if i know lol.
my shits pretty close to my neck, you shouldn't catch it on your chest, catch it on ur delts. idk
i know i did it wrong when i first started out. still have form issues.
and arma 3 can go suck a dick
Damnit qeef, become an armchair soldier.
i'm playing it. not only does no one have a server, this game runs like a obese man online.
not worth the 32 bucks imo, that and it's not much of a improvement over arma 2.
There's like ten million servers, also what's your specs? My ArmA 3 runs like miles better than ArmA 2.
Also to think its not an improvement over ArmA 2 you probably haven't played much.
idk i got a q660 or sometging a radeon card which is probably shit because of physx so ill switch that out with a nvidia card. i mean its def better but i was expecting more. ill play with u tomorow and see if my opinion changes. it runs fine on sibgle player doe.

my rack position has bar sitting right below the pointy bits
any higher up ill choke myself

It is similar to A2, I'm just really happy about the fluidity of the animations now, on par with other AAA shooters rather than being the clunky mess that A2 was in this department.
ALso if if you have a Q6600, switch that shit asap, that hsit is like 10 years old.
Hey guys sorry for the long post but i was just hoping to ask some questions, i am a noob to weight lifting.
Im going to be starting the gym this week with some friends from my course and continuing to do so probably at least until October but ill probably continue after that.
Im going to follow the 5x5 plan probably but im just a complete beginner so im not sure what would be best for me to do. Im afraid of the overhead press because ive never done any serious lifting in my life other than the casual dumbbell curl, shoulder press, kneeling arm row and lateral raise. (that was a long time ago though.
I really want to avoid injuries to my arms as i do drawing/3d sculpting , would you recommend no/low weights with the lifts for the first week so i can get the technique down.
I dont really want to get huge muscles im mostly doing this because ive noticed while living in dorms going up the flights of stairs are getting harder and im just feeling unfit and more tired than i probably should be.
im 21 about 5"10 and id guess around 165lb's, dont currently have scales here so ill either buy some or use the gym's.
I have been taking the easy way out while up in uni having fatty snack food and not proper meals im also drink sugary drinks/ coffee but ive cut that crap out now for just water and juiced vegetables/fruits with the occasional sugarless coffee and much less pre-made /processed food.
start with the bar on all the lifts. do some cardio if you think you been getting winded easily
clean up ur diet as well stop eating mcdonalds n booger king
