What machine is he using?Props for this, I may give this a try. I wonder if I can find a way to tie a resistance band to it and my neck though.
What machine is he using?
The page seems like it's out of the 90s but it's legit.

I have 24inch ones.
This video makes it look so easy, but man, I can't seem to get it down perfectly. Going to keep trying, though.
.
Perfect timing lol. Saved.
EDIT: I think this is almost exactly what you guys were telling me:
"Keep your head in the neutral position. Neither up nor down, but straight ahead.
Keep the spine organized
Lean back into the heels and add tension to the glutes and hamstrings
Scrape the shins and then throw the hips into the bar like you mean to do on a Saturday Night"
Holy crap gonna try this next time
I'm clearly in 12% range at the moment. Amazing what a strict week will do. Probably stop somewhere between 10 and 11. That's the sweet spot for me personally.
Through trial and air I've come up with the perfect stress free long cut. It involves rotating calorie deficit days with maintenance days and a few overage days too. I'm sure there is some a similar more standardized program already out there but damn, it works!
I'm about one, maybe two weeks out. Will do. When I get that low my arms look big for my frame. People start telling me how big I have gotten when in reality I've lost 5 pounds.man 10% on you would be so beefy cut!
let's see some pics when u get there!
It has been 13 days since I had a cheat meal. Honestly, the longest I have ever gone. Hitting the gym for amrs and then getting a burger tonight with the woman.
yummmmmmm

This is what I had today
Bulgogi tacos
Dropping a bit below 17% body fat, so good going on my part!
I am a social drinker as well. I would say I drink couple drinks perhaps twice a year or so. I haven't never tried anything else and I don't see any reason why I would even try them.Haha, wow that means a shitton right there. My quads sweep out pretty crazy and sometimes I think it makes them look out of proportion and weird, lol.
On the subject of vices, I haven't had a drink in 6 months or so, but I definitely drink socially when I can regardless of my goals. For me, it's a waste of a good cut to not get drunk at a bar and somehow end up shirtless on the dance floor.
I will absolutely not touch anything else, period. It's just not me. Never smoked anything and never will.
Trust me, it is nicer not to have anything wrong with you. You have no need to have life long medication or run to blood testes once in a while to check that everything is ok.I've gotten it checked out before in the hopes that I had something wrong with me lol. Like even my mom was like "it ain't right!"
But no. I will fight against food my whole life Enemies forever
Ashodin, you are definitely around 26-27% bf.I don't wanna burst your bubble but I don't really think you are anywhere near 17% BF. This is what a person looks around 17-18 BF% Pic 1, Pic 2. That's not me btw but I found it in here.. I suggest you post a picture there and see what the real number is. People in that thread/forum are usually pretty good at estimating these things. Better than some handheld BIA machine at least..
No matter what the real number is, keep it up. You'll get there
Ashodin, you are definitely around 26-27% bf.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis confirmed worthless, my super fancy stupid scale says as of this moment I am at 15.6%. Calipers at an inch above the iliac crest site calculated in the appropriate age bracket puts me at 10.6%.
Basically it's a pointless thing to constantly monitor or worry about anyways, and you can only legitimately know how it "feels" at a certain point once you've been there.
Lift heavy weights and eat a clean diet and you're already on the right track.
Quadzilla is still my hero!!! *swoon*
I have been going to the gym for a little over a year now. The last couple of months I have been going five times per week, four hours of cardio to trim fat and one hour of muscle training, which is of course spread over the week. I have been maxing some machines like the leg press, I can do 150 KG with both legs and 100 KG with one leg. Every part of my body is getting quite thin and muscled, except my tummy which is bad because it is like the one thing where I need it. I have a bad back, so those are the two areas where I need to improve the most. Last thursday was funny though, some woman who I don't remember ever seeing there came up to me and congratulated me on losing weight.

Edit: oops, just realized that something in dinner is cut off. Still the same calories but there is some ricotta cheese missing from the pictures.
This is a typical day generally, though I normally have a salad for lunch. I just had too much of the beef around and needed to eat more that day lol. I also don't put on there the milk that goes into tea, I have a small glass (like 1/4 cup) of wine most nights, etc.
Holy hell I want dat ass.
I need to say that that is a good point if you are stugling with your weight loss.One thing I notice is you're using lots of volume-based measurements (cups), which can be inaccurate for anything that isn't liquid. You're better off with a kitchen scale if you need to keep close tabs on your calorie count.
As a quick example, I was measuring out some cereal just now. The cereal, Vanilla Almond Special K, says 1 serving = 3/4 cup = 30g = 110 calories. So you'd expect 2 servings to be 1.5 cups, but 60g looks more like 1.25 cups.
If I use the measuring cup to get to what looks like 1.5 cups, it weighs 74g. So essentially I would have given myself an extra half serving, or about 50 extra unaccounted-for calories if I had used a volume measurement.
Looking at your food diary, I see lots of items where a volume measurement might cause undercounting. Nuts, dips, meats, berries, and even cottage cheese, are all solid foods that are best measured by weight. Some, like the berries, aren't too calorically dense, so measurement errors won't hurt you too much. But errors with nuts and meats can add up in a hurry, like they did with the cereal I showed.
Just a tip that might help you if you're frustrated with progress.
I wouldn't mind it either...We all do. In some capacity.
I need to say that that is a good point if you are stugling with your weight loss.
Then again I have managed to lost over 15 pounds without counting my calories so that certainly isn't for everyone.
Quite naturally if you feel you are getting no results even how hard you try I would recommend at least one day checking how much you are actually eating with a scale. I am myself thinking should I check my daily calory intake with scaling everything for just one day, since I eat the same things generally every day. I would mainly want to know that am I getting enough protein and good fats. My overall cholesterol level is 3,2 mmol/L which is quite low so there is certainly room for more. I eat hemp oil and nuts every day, but I don't know are those enough for me.
You will be slightly weaker but should regain your numbers in a few weeks.This is a very stupid question but one that must be asked either way. I've been swamped with my studies and have a very important exam on Friday. As a result I haven't worked out for 2 weeks and probably won't for another week. Will I lose my gains?
Yes, which should be more than enough considering weight loss is my primary objective and moving a bit my second.I'm confused, are you saying you weight train for an hour each week?.
I'm staying away from weightlifting for a long time. As I said, bad back. I know weightlifting can be good for the back, but that is for people that are healthy, not for people that just had a lumbago at a way too young age. That is why I need to dump my tummy first which has the added advantage of lower blood pressure. I'm also quite clumsy which is why I prefer smaller weights and machines over weightlifting, smaller chance of funny consequences.Good work, man. Now that you've got the basics down with a structured schedule, I'd recommend starting up a weightlifting program so you can maximize your time in the gym and reach your goals with greater efficiency.
Its been 5 weeks since ordering my inzer belt and still no confirmation of shipping.
Trust me, it is nicer not to have anything wrong with you. You have no need to have life long medication or run to blood testes once in a while to check that everything is ok.
On that note I actually had the results of my blood testes that I took on Tuesday and everything was absolutely awesome. Better than ever to be honest. The only thing that my doctor mentioned that was a bit odd was my hemoglobin which is 162 g/l which was ridiculously high for a female. That shouldn't matter at all though. I am just thinking that can loads of sports and work out affect that or why on earth it has sky-rocketed lately...

On another note, one of my calves like...seized up in the middle of the night no work out today except maybe some stretching and yoga.
Drink more water and make sure your diet has enough magnesium and potassium.

Is upright row a bad exercise?
If so what's a good substitute for upright row?
