I have a Bowflex that I use strictly gfor cable exercises. I don't really like it much, but it is all I have. I use free weights for the majority of what I do. Good luck.
I am really burned out on my workout. Having trouble getting motivated to really push in the gym. Kind of spinning my wheels. I know that is a "me problem" and I am trying to remedy it. I think I...

I know a lot of folks ask for opinions on their workout routines. Well, I guess I am another one. I think I know what I am doing after lurking on this board so much, but it is always good to get...
You're 17 buddy....eat like a horse and lift heavy. Your natural T is raging and you have all of nature working for you right now. That's really it. I wish I could go back to 17 and know what I...
Same boat here. The program is easy to follow and I feel like I am making progress. I am on week 5 of JV and feel like I am still moving in the right direction. I am glad that the OP felt this was...
Felt stronger than I have in the last few weeks and was able to up my weight in Bench, Squat and DL. Funny because on my way home I was not feeling very motivated. Then I got down in my basement...
so I have been squatting 3 days per week the last 4 weeks and have seen some great gains. I have recently read a few times on this board about bar position on the squat....specifically "low bar...
I am in the same boat. I basically try to get my weight training in at lunch. 3-4 days per week. That gives me 45 minutes. If I do any cardio, it is on the weekends. Instead of doing a bunch of...
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves. I am a scrawny 150# guy, but I am working on it. I found a used Weider olympic set (260#) with bar for $150 on Craigslist.
That is the thing. I can not afford to scrap what I have and buy a whole new set for $400-$500. Guess I will have to look for some bigger plates or just stick with what I have.
I workout in my basement and have "standard" weight plates, bars, etc.. My question is, can you get standard plates above 25lbs.? I have just about outgrown the width of my bar with 25lb. plates. ...
I am working hard on my back. Lots of BORs and pull-ups. I think it is paying off. Someone commented just the other day on how good my posture was. Never had that before, so I can only attribute...
color me extremely jealous. Only been doing DL for about 6 weeks and I just got 195 for 8 reps yesterday. Not near as impressive as your record. Congrats! Keep pulling!
by the big 3 for a wider chest, you mean, bench, press and ?? BR?? Just wanted to confirm. My routine is based around what I have always believed and been told were the "big 5" (Squat, DL, BR,...
Thanks. That is what I am doing now. Will just keep at it. Appreciate the advice to move some focus to shoulders and back. It'll come, just frustrated a bit.
Is there any way to really work to widen the chest? I feel like my bench is coming along, but my chest is not getting any wider. I have always had a somewhat narrow shoulder structure, so that may...
