Do you use any machines at the gym, if so which ones?
>>35064167
just look at the guy's leg to torso ratio
That tells you all you need to know about the leg press
>>35064176
that it makes your legs look dyel?
Do cables count?
Delt fly macchine every ones in a while
>>35064176
There real isn't anything wrong with his legs.
Cable flies for chest, pull/pushdowns for tris.
About it.
>>35064167
lateral Lat Pulldown machine
Machine Fly
Squat press machine
>>35064176
the dude has like zero bf, of course his legs are gonna look small.
also spoiler alert, no one likes big legs cept for bodybuilders.
>>35064210
>lateral lat pulldown
This is bait, right?
Cable crunches, Pec flies and I used to use pullup assistance when I was weak.
I mostly use machines, but then again I still do the big barbell compounds (bench, squat, deads, rows).
Nothing wrong with machine if your goal are aesthetics. Olympia competitors use a shitload of machines.
>>35064167
I use the leg press to try and improve my ankle flexion, I put up about 135lbs, push it all the way out, then put the ball of my left foot at the bottom of the board, and remove the right foot from the board entirely, so all the weight is forcing my ankle to become more stretchy, so I can squat better, then I repeat with my right foot
>>35064245
>was
Leg extensions and some calf thing.
>>35064250
Even big weight powerlifters use Leg press machine and other machines for assistance work e.g Andy Bolton, Kirk, Eddie hall etc...
The no machines shit probably is due to people who use machines are just your average once in a month gym goer and the new barbell craze.
>>35064268
Don't be mean brah...
Only use machines. Free weights will unbalance your body. As a personal trainer I always recommend the machines first with some light free weights thrown in to surprise the muscles.
I use the pec deck, leg press, cable rope pull down, and lat pull down.
why are machines bad?
>>35064201
>>35064228
Found the leg pressers

My rage intensifies
Vending machine when I want a post workout kitkat
I really like cables, I also like leg presses, and chest supported row machines. There's also nothing wrong with leg curls/leg extensions in the right content. I have also used triceps (and even bicep) machines before, but not anymore.
>>35064375
>Update
UNDERRATEDSDD
Nothing wrong with machines you DYEL nimrods
Calf raises and cables, then again not really machines
>smith machine for calf raises
>fly machine for rear delt
>leg extensions
>>35064167
>Lat pulldown
>Cable machine (for face pulls)
>standing calf raise machine
>hamstring curl
>leg extension
>leg press
Preacher curls
Cable machine for chest cross overs
Leg extensions
Leg press
Standing calf raises
Seated leg curls
Lat pull downs on cable machine
Tricep push downs on cable machine
Face pulls on cable machine
I think that's all of them.
>>35064167
Leg Curl (only option for working biceps femoris)
Lat Pull Down
A few different cable exercises
Hey guys
Are cables considered machines?
>>35064360
Im no engineer but that machine doesnt look right. It looks like its set up to make lifting the weights as easy as possible...>>35064368
>>35064592
>Leg Curl
>The only option
>>35064176
Its the contrary m8, leg press is great for hypertrophy but sucks at everything else
Reverse fly
Leg Press (specially to do calves), extension and flexor. One leg day with these then another with squat+dlift.
And cables to do woodchoppers
>>35064606
Well, it's MY only option. I don't have a good place to do body weight leg curls.
>>35064715
Why would I do leg press when I can squats? Want more quad isolation? Front squats.
>>35064729
meant to quote op>>35064167
>>35064729
I don't do squats because I can't make myself to do full ROM with serious weight on the bar. With the leg press however, I don't have a chance to cheat
Leg Extensions
Hamstring Curls
Leg press (also squat)
>>35064167
>leg press
>cable rows
>lat pulldowns
>tricep extensions with rope attachment
I also do free/body weight versions of these exercises, fwiw.
>>35064602
I don't know what you're talking about. It has this big lever so you can extend the muscles more. Don't you want big muscles?
>>35064602
it does, the lever is set up so dyels and mongs can use more weight.
then they do pullups and wonder why they cant do a single one, altough they can pull 225 on this shit machine.
Lateral pulldown machine-even tho I'm doing negative pullups to raplace it recently.
Leg curl and extention.
cable for face pulls and tricep extentions.
Thats about it.
Got one of these in the gym recently.
It hurts but I love it.
A lot of them.
Our gym has these terminals to which you walk up with your chipcard and load your current trainingsplan onto.
Each machine has a slot to put in your card.
An LCD display will tell you how much sets, reps, weigth.
For someone with the memory of a brick like me this is fucking fantastic.
It's like someone following me around saying "ok fag now do 3 sets on this one".
>>35066157
sounds sweet f a m.
>>35064167
I use the leg press because I have great legs. Usually do it for my last of my legday workout to exhaust myself.
I use cable machines for rows, crosses, and some biceps and trisceps workout.
And lat pulldown machine too
There's nothing wrong with machines as long as they arent the entirety of your workout
Leg press is the only machine I use right now, and that's after back and front squatting.
>>35064210
>Squat press machine
Do yourself a favor and get away from this machine.
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Calf Raise
>>35065108
>Lateral pulldown
the Lat in Lat Pulldown stands for Latissimus Dorsi you mongoloid
assisted pull up
assisted dip
>>35065487
Hack squats are great family
>>35066358
Just worried about the day I put on too much and can't get up and will need saving.
>>35065487
Why does it look like she's doing it wrong? How can you squat correctly with how she is standing?
>>35066463
She probably hasn't put her feet up yet.
>>35066463
Hack squats are often done with a stance that is narrower than it would be for a deadlift. The fact that she's doing it with a machine removed the need to self-balance. So it should work quite nicely with a very narrow stance.
>>35066496
So for that machine why do some people face it while others put their back on the back rest? What is the best way?
>>35066529
youtube it
>>35066536
I rather you tell me
>>35066515
It just seems like she can't get low enough in that position without it being uncmfortable
4-way neck machine is a pretty nice way to get some neck work in.
>>35064167
I have to use the leg press machine, because my knees were royally fucked up when I was a teenager, because I lived in a hick town where my coaches didn't know shit about nutrition or over training.
Honestly I still get pissed about it. Would really like to go back in time and rescue myself from all the shit.
>>35064201
His arm is as big as his leg...wtf are you talking about
>>35065487
We have one at the works gym too. It's a great accessory for squats.
I've used the curls and extension machine once and the hack squat machine a few times, apart from that it's always been freeweights.
>>35064252
Have you had any success with that?
I've been thinking about trying it.
>>35064252
do bw squats with a band around your sacrum and tie it to pic realted
do bw split squats with a band, tied to pic related
can also place a barbell on your knees until it hurts too much
>>35064176
his arm is also being pushed/flattened out by the side of the leg press seat, making it look bigger than it probably really does. although i agree the dude's legs aren't too impressive
My workouts usually consist of
>squats
>deadlifts
>benchpress/incline bench
>rows
>pull ups
>ohp
And then I add some dumbell work. Pretty much only machines I use are
>calf machine
>legpress/hack sometimes
>leg extension/curl sometimes
>pull down
