    You don't?

    It's a machine anyway, so chances are whatever you bench with free weights will be amplified with the machine.

    Negro when I leave the the 300s I'll be the first one braggin but 470 is some Power of Grey Skull shit (get it He-Man) lol

    Don't confuse bodybuilding with power lifting, Negro

    :p

    if you workout like a pure power lifter, with low rep sets and heavy weights, you'll get the numbers but not the beach look or muscle endurance

    that's why you get these Olympian guys that look small and average, but bench crazy numbers

    search for ymra and pics of his power lifting days. He wasn't big and bulky, bit I think he won some comps tho

    Hell Naw! I think I can only manage a paltry 135lbs maybe 4 times. I haven't benched for a while now because of a shoulder injury.

    Yup, Petty is absolutely correct.

    The machine I use closely resembles this

    my old football coach absolutely frowned upon machines, but I think they have their uses especially if you want to try a different type of workout to hit certain muscles. I like the butterfly machine especially. I do miss those at gyms

    Just got back from the gym :), did the 1-RM test today...

    Before the summer, my maximum leg press was 350 pounds.
    Bench press max was 145.

    After a summer of laziness, and finally getting back on the ball now, the new max leg press is 290, bench press is 100....

    Boo :(. At least it definitely helped me get my goals back on track! :)


    (With machines, lol. Not free weight :p)

    I'm not cheating if the football players are always hogging the weight room! :p

    I get stared at less on machines, so that's where I'll stay, ha.

    You can't beat free. I love my school gym way more than the one I actually pay for. Its enough to make you want to be a student for life.

    Except for the actual homework :( hehe!

    I wish my school gym was bigger. There's things I'd want to do but the football players are always in there, taking the gym hostage. Then they look at me like, "what the hell are you doing in the free weights section, females don't belong here!" :p ...Little do they realize, it's my fiance setting up all the workouts they have to follow *laughs*

    Otherwise the gym's pretty good, free always works!

    I don't get why it matters since I doubt they have to wait for you to be done with the 65s lol

    Mos def

    people fail to realize that tuition doesn't just cover classes, but everything else in between

    Drexel for instance, has multiple martial arts clubs ran by students and proffesors, that are open to other students without additional fees (I think)

    don't really care about any gyms tho, since i created my own :)

    Dude are you in school right now?

    maybe

    ;)

    i'm not at PSU tho...kinda wish I was as I do still have some loyalty to it

    My employer gives us a nice tuition assistance benefit for college, so you'd be a fool not to enroll yourself somewhere, either to pursue a degree in a different field or go on to grad school

    8AM eating red velvet cake for breakfast with some greek yogurt.

    Cardio went straight to shit, ran a 13 minute mile a week ago. Stomach obliterated. More handles than a NBA player. Turkey neck just in time for thanksgiving with the matching pack of hotdogs on the back.
