    Hmm, there's an idea. Why not ask a trainer working at the gym itself for a spot(in the event that you can't use the spotters available in the power racks)? It is their job to help you out, after all...

    In my opinion if they don't have a competent free weight section, they aren't a real gym. A smith machine is good for some things, but not all - and in time it's weaknesses will expose themselves for...

    The neck is actually one of the speedier developers, you may soon find it grew too much for what your original goal was. I used to do them for a brief time, but I started to feel like it was getting...

    How much work is being done in that time? How intense is it? How challenging is it for the person's level? How much volume is performed?

    I tend to feel the biceps most when going a bit closer in chinups(I like to judge my ideal close grip distance by pointing palms away and letting my thumbs touch), but they are still a fairly tiring...

    I noticed the muscle groups performed together change on certain days, any reason why for that? Seems like it would give the body mixed signals instead of consistency over time. *shrug

    I've used and liked it, but it definitely ain't easy or a typical beginner's routine i'll say that much. Results wise I did see some nice improvements to my lifts, which was great because at the time...
