This is 100% correct. I could not have said it any better myself. Everything that is put into a gym will help you in some way, shape, or form. Smith machines happen to be more useful if you're...

Perfect, thanks guys!

What is everyone's thoughts on training Abs everyday? Is this something that is normally practiced, or should abs be treated like any other workout?

Thanks for the help!

I'm going to go ahead and second ^^^That with a this^^^. This could not have been explained any better.

First of all, you're better off being cautious than acting like an idiot and thinking that "you got it". It's always better to be a bit cautious than sorry, you know?

To answer your first...

Personally I would stick with what you're doing now. As long as your grip on lat pull downs is a bit more than shoulder-width apart you're pretty much good to go. I wouldn't start changing up your...

I'm honestly thinking about going the screw-in route. The only this with that is that I have to commit to a door, shouldn't be a problem though, whatever is sturdier.

Phenomenal, okay great, I really appreciate the feedback!

I was thinking about buying a pull-up bar that attaches to the door frame, but I'm afraid it's going to completely rip the door frame off. Has anyone had any experience with this product? I just want...

This is another great method

If you honestly want to stay away from lat pulldowns, then I would just focus on pushing yourself on your pull-ups. The more you push, the more your muscles will adapt and compensate so you can...

Personally for me, I increased my pull-up repetitions by doing lat pull-downs. As long as you can perform equal to or more than your body weight in lat pull downs you're pretty much set to go....

That's definitely not an issue, unfortunately this is actually what I'm doing at this time because gym fees are honestly cutting a bit into my finances. If I could reccommend one more piece of...

DYTrainer really hit this one on the nose, so it would be a waste of time for me to repeat his informative post. If you're honestly having trouble picking them up two at a time, and you're having a...

Definitely, 100% agree wth you there. but as far as legs go, I've seen a lot more people getting injured performing squats than any other leg exercise. Mainly because they're trying to push out that...

It depends on what type of look you are going for. If you're looking to get the overall height of the traps you want to stick to standing straight up and shrugging. It's also a good idea to maybe...

Here's the thing, it all depends on what you actually have acess to. Personally I would rather substitute squats for maybe a hack squat or leg press. They are a lot safer and you can apply more...

Definitely, it's always a good idea to perform different exercises for each muscle group to target different areas of that specific muscle.

I.E. wide grip, mid grip, and close grip bench
