preacher curl machines are better than just plain old preacher curls with ez curl bar because I hurt my wrist and the added support of machine helps me with focusing the tension on the bicep alone
>B-BUT MUH TENSION
JUST LIFT THE FRICKING WEIGHT!!!!
make me
I'll never stop wondering when people will understand that isolation =/= better. Like you are not a bodybuilder, you didnt place 4th in Mr. Olympia because your bicep peak wasnt good enough. You dont have strong points. Everything is weak. Its not a net positive that it isolates your bicep alone. I'll guarantee that you have b***h forearms and you "spam" wrists curls.
And I didnt say that deadlifts are enough for your arms. Im talking more in the realm of people hoarding 10 different handles and a bench and positioning themselves in the most scientifically optimal angle to train their triceps with baby weight. And then they cant do weighted dips to save their life. Naturals who train like roid monkeys will always develop crazy weak points and will get exposed at one point or another.
I kind of agree, but it isn't uncommon for relatively weak and small muscles to be THE weakest link and such a limiting factor to your big compound lifts. For example, especially if you're a beginner, for pullups it would often be your biceps and/or forearms to give up before your lats and isolating them would be completely reasonable instead of just spamming more pullups to get stronger at them. Of course your main focus should still be the compound lifts and use isolatives just as an accessory for them.
Why do you think its appropriate to further fatigue the muscle that already failed as opposed to doing the extra work on the muscles that were not yet fatigued?
Your logic is weird. Imma just do my compounds and it will all work out in the end (pun intended)
If you don't do at least some isolation you're going to have DYEL arms in comparison to your massive torso unless you're a genetic freak.
With that said, you shouldn't need to a gorillion sets of 5+ curl variations. Two curls with like 6-8 sets a week should be more than enough if you're doing your rows and pullups/chinups.
Every single one of them. Only plausible exception is leg press since the bigger and stronger you get the harder it is to grind legs enough with only free weights without accumulating too much CNS fatigue and lower back muscle fatigue.
Rear delt fly on the pec deck is good.
A good Pullover Machine is great also.
what about the leg curl machine, i can't train that shit with weights
i use a seat cable crunch machine and its like my favorite thing
then again im lean and have sick abs, so seethe maybe
Post body
>then again im lean and have sick abs, so seethe maybe
I like doing these occasionally
these are exclusively used by overweight boomers at my gym
It amazes me how fricking stupid zoomers are without being selfaware
>i dont train abs, that gives you bulging gut (waaaaaaah im X% bf and my ass dont show up)
>i dont train obliques, that gives you a wider waist (waaaaaaaah i want adonis belt but it depends 200% on genetics frfr on god no cap)
Kids nowadays are fricking gay and moronic
Started doing these at 80kg (reasonably lean) with no visible abs,
A year later, I weigh 93 kg, fluffy but when I flex my abs are very visible.
Got the weight from 30kg to 70kg, maxed out the machine for 12-15 reps.
Use it.
Based, I can only do 80Kgs on the one we have in our gym and even then I'm holding the pl8s with bands, I'm sure I could easily get to 100 in a month if I could I'm very autistic about this exercise
Never seen anyone that wasn't a fat boomer or a dyel skeleton zoomer using these nothing in between
Actually quite like these at high weight as AMRAP for core gains; at least I can dodge a hernia on these.
I warm up with this before doing isolation curls
All curls are isolation curls you fricking moron. If we could just holocaust the DYELs from the planet, the cumulative IQ of the world would increase by 50%
i have only ever seen DYELs use picrel
leg press is mostly for DYELs, people too lazy to do other quad exercises, or ego lifters who think anyone is impressed with their 500+ 1/4 rom leg press.
most machines have their uses but are magnets for DYELs and women who want to sit on their phone for 5 min, do a 0 effort set, repeat.
any machine that is plate loaded or requires any kind of stabilization filters most DYELs
I just got stuck in it and am trying to wriggle out, okay?
I like the oblique twister, I have it maxed out at 220 lbs and do 3 alternating sets of 15 on each side after cardio
I will fight you over the leg press, I can do more controlled heavier weights without risk of injury. If you actually do full ROM, control the eccentric and pause at the bottom it can wreck you.
If you reply, you're seething.
chestlet detected, incline bench on this is god tier
If this was me from 7 years ago seeing this post I'd have threatened to beat you to death then call you a Black person
I would have then and now pissed in your mouth.
I would have then and now stabbed you in the cut as soon as you undrew your zip.
Nah your mouth would be wide open.
These are good for calf raises.
Smith has lots of uses.
Good luck training to failure on regluar-ACK
To be honest most of the machines are pretty good once you learn how to use them properly without throwing your weight around and actually use the intended muscles. Once I got past my "only free weights, machines are for DYELS" phase I went back to the machines and enjoy using lots of them. I will say that the lower back machine that you lean back into is pointless and I only see very old or fat people using those.
you’re doing the exercise wrong
I like using this cause at my gym you can grab the handles in a neutral grip position and i cant turn my hands palms facing up. So ive kinda always been forced to do hammer curls with dumbbells. So this is a good change of pace of me. So use this and the dumbbells has been a great improvement. I can go pretty heavy on this machine. Can do single arms with light weights and get a crazy pump alot of fun
No capicola but I wish my gym had these and other cool machines.
The rope pull and curl machine are cool
Machines are great for drop sets, adding volume, and sometimes for getting a better resistance curve. If that makes me gay then sign me up!
The one where you're at 45 degrees pushing the plate away, yes. The one where you're flat and push yourself away is good.
