Or this one
Yeah they have one in my gym. Used to use it regularly when I first started out. Then realized it was a waste of time for my own personal goals and learned how to programming properly.

Ahh. That looks a little nuts. I'll stick with not focusing on my abs, period. It shows :|
You never did post that squat form video...we're only trying to help.
well.....I came back to mexico like 5 days ago.
.- scale says I am down on weight
.- mom says my gut is bigger :-(
.- 2 friends said I look more solid/muscled (without me asking them)
lesson: don't pay attention to external sources and go and do your thing. hehe
this has to be a machine exercise, there's a shitton of crappy machines for abs.
EDIT: beaten
those machines you guys posted are so fucking bad, worse than crunches.

for abdominal area I prefer all those exercises with raising legs, like this one (there are plenty of variations.)

and I personally like situps on a decline bench, don't know if they have a bad rep because of possible back problems
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhGU5cmNZds
by the way, what's the consensus regarding this scott hermann guy? youtube will suggest him very often, even more than Mike Chang.
for upper ab area, I still haven't found anything that hits that part better than good'ol crunches :S if there's anything, I'd like to know

LOL
I've been back to the gym for almost two weeks after a five to six week break so I started back at lighter weights. Do my deadlifts look okay? I'll try to decrease the amount of time in between reps in the future.

Question for people who use protein shakes, ive been using the GOLD Whey 100% protein shake and noticed it makes me feel physically sick, which is strange, I dont throw up but its not a pleasant feeling at all and lasts for a few hours. Has anyone heard of this? I wonder if its just this brand or the ingredients in general.
Bahahahahahaha

Hmm interesting. Have you had a reaction at all with any other brands or just ON? Not that I'm advocating it (because I'm not) have you tried soy protein to see if you have the same reaction? Maybe it's the particular flavor you bought, have you tried other flavas of ON?
So I used this a few months ago and had a similar reaction with the chocolate version, but I didnt think it was the whey as I had some bad physical problems that could account for it, I thought it was just a coincidence. I started it recently with the strawberry in good health and this nausea started again and it was completely out of the blue and has gone since I stopped. Again it could be a coincidence but its the only thing that has changed in my diet.
This is the first one i tried, it was recommended here in the thread, id be open to trying more but I just wondered if this was a thing or not. You mention soy, I dont drink milk because it affects my stomach, but dairy in general is fine, I suppose I could try some of those, I also hear you can take pills too?
Odd. I don't have trouble with ON, but everyone has their own quirks. Have you tried Egg Protein? This is the one that Derek Howes (of dhftns.com) uses: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00166D8TW/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Ingredient list:

It means he has no idea what he's doing even though he's gotten advice from here several times.
He should probably spend more time reading the op or some training manuals and less time posting "OOOOH YEAH, WORKING GLUTES! #BEASTMODE"
I have the exact reaction to whey. This is why I have to use egg or the current one I use is the paleo protein (a mix of beef and eggs protein).
Downside is you get less grams per scoop and it's like 36 bucks for 2lbs.
Also, to be more specific, I can tolerate cheese, ice cream, etc. But whey demolishes me; I don't always throw up, but my stomach goes to shit.

Yeah, this is a fairly cheap Paleo Protein: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWUCV0E/?tag=neogaf0e-20
You do lose some protein per scoop and it is more expensive on a relative basis though.
That's the exact kind I use, except I do the triple chocolate. The taste reviews on BB are not high, but I think it's delish.
Ehhhhhh, that won't work. This is a change in lifestyle and mentality. Not some cheap fling that you do for a week.
Well now I'm depressed. I'm already dieting and my fat ass managed to completely crack the metal frame holding the chair to the base. Lol. Chair is only a year old and just out of warranty.
Its okay to be cranky. It happens to the best of us.
GOMAD really does work!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OMG HAHAHAHAHAHA I NEED TO DO THIS!
Are you eating right? Once I shifted to 2000 calories and working out, I feel hungry most of the time but full at the same time, odd feeling but never bloated.
Stealing all of this again.

Great high bar squat form. For the deadlifts I suggest lowering the hips a little bit more which will help when you do heavier weight to load with the hips more.

I never ever speak up because 1: it ain't my place and 2: there may be a reason why they're not and 3: it ain't my place and 4: I don't want to meet people because I'm a shut-in

There's two things possibly happening. They are doing it incorrectly, or they are doing something you don't understand/know about.
Usually it's better to keep to yourself unless they look like they are in danger.
There's been many times someone posts in here making fun of someone they saw only for it t backfire when they get shown it's an actual exercise.
All the time.
well I stand corrected. I guess I will continue to be my shut in self lol owned.
any gaffers happen to live in western Massachusetts ?
Eh I sometimes stay shut cause it might be some exercise I don't know about. Usually its squats and people don't go below parallel but meh. Probably only one guy I've seen do it the same way I do, but much much cleaner.
Huh? I NEVER KNEW!

Ground Lamb Burgers for dinner. CAN'T WAIT.
Also after work, gonna meet up with a body building friend of mine to talk macros, goals, routine, etc. Pretty excited to hear what he has to say and his thoughts on it all.

"You should bulk"
Wave goodbye at the FallingEdge Cut Train, it never arrived at the station in the first place
Hit some golf balls with no pain today, even with some whipping from mis-hits. Torque around my spine is fine, only test left really is compressive load. Kinda tested it when I had to pick up a probably 35 pound bucket of balls, deadlift style. No strain at all except a little on the drop, but that was from bending at the waist as opposed to RDLing it down. Just gotta to either commit to dropping the bar or RDLing it down when I get back to lifting, as opposed to putting it down like a lever. It's progress, though. Hopefully I'll be back in ten days or so.

heh, hey now! I think I look much better now than I did at this point last year and earlier this year!
And I consider this guy to be a friend but we really only talked in the gym. Gave me tips here and there and said he can hook me up on supplements since he is sponsored. He's a big guy and obviously knows what he is talking about. I am curious if this convo will be him legit trying to help or if he might be trying to get me to sign up for all sorts of mumbo jumbo. I wouldn't mind getting an actual personal trainer though. Just gonna go in with an open mind and go from there.

Nah guys it's an ab crunch machine. You know, the one they have at the apartment gym I can go to.
Like des
Today is squats and barbells! I'll get that squat vid.
Please god no stop doing those crunches. You're better off doing planks ot using an ab wheel like this
to strengthen your core. Those crunches will only mess up your lumbar spine

30 sec plank holds for 3 sets should start you off good. Once your core strengthens shoot for 1 min then 1 min 30 and so on....

You're better off doing proper sit ups than bothering with that machine imo. And I, personally, don't do any ab exercises when I'm going to be doing squats the next day. I don't want my core to be fatigued when it should be strong during squats. I might be wrong on this though, I'd like some experienced lifters to chime in.
yep I was doing shrugs on the barbell Tbar row sled...Someone came up to me and was like you aint even doing it right. Of course the guy was like 150.....
Thanks man! Will integrate this into my apartment gym days.

In all honesty, man, you should drop all of the bullshit machines and put together a proper calisthenics routine for your non-gym days. Pick up a copy of Convict Conditioning and follow the progression routine.
