Total of 14 45 lbs plates (630), but the device is on a hinge. Realistically, what am I lifting?
Also, I look like a fucking goober.

Why do you stand?
That machine is a seated shrug machine, you're supposed to do shrugs while seated
>>36319526
Oh really? Then why does it have two sets of bars, one higher than the other.
>>36319647
One is for manlets.
>>36319844
kek, checked
OP here, its my 3 month in the gym, still learning.
Any tips?
>>36319894
Use free weights
>>36319647
why wont you just do a normal deadlift...?
>>36319498
>>36319894
never seen such a machine before.
what does it do? what muscles does it work?
>>36319498
Where the fuck are you and what kind of dumb ass machine is that?
>>36319894
yes: stop doing retarded excersises.
>>36319894
Don't use up all the plates on your bullshit exercises
>>36319917
That's how the workout started. This was the burnout at the end of my workout.
>>36319919
That how I started the workout. Hit a new PR of 365.
>>36319936
Shoulders.
>>36319942
Do wat instead. Not being a smartass. Genuinely asking.
>>36319498
>What am I lifting?
A lot less than the weights you put on. If you want to test the difference, do bar shrugs for 5 reps, then move over to the machine for your next set.
>Also, I look like a fucking goober.
Gym rule #14 the better your form, the gayer you look.
>>36319498
I would literaly tell you to fuck off for using all those plates for that bullshit exercise.
>>36319972
1. Ditch the "I got a gym membership yesterday shoes"
2. Do some fucking squats
3. Ditch dumb exercises
>>36319972
>Shoulders.
No. Shrugs work your trapezius muscles. Unless you're doing something really fucking weird, you shouldn't engage your shoulders at all.
>>36319972
>straps on a "bar" that cant roll out of your hands
dude just quit the gym
>>36320008
Traps, yeah thought it was synonymous. My bad, traps. My fault. I own it.
>>36320015
Quit being a faggot and trying to turn away people who want to develop. You are the shit kind of person that makes people think that planet fitness (fuck those guys) needs to exist.
Fuck you and the next time you want to insult someone ask you boyfriend for help. Faggot ass bitch. Also, fuck your slut mother, cunt. I had a drink in memory of all the guys who had wrecked your moms pussy after me. There were a lot there with me, I lost count. Pic fucking related.
>>36319988
I ran a marathon in these shoes. I owe it to them to use them till they fall apart. Also, I am deployed and these are the only pt shoes I have here with me. What shoes would be better when I get home?
>>36320106
Sickening roast piss lord. I still advise you to quit the gym, you're obviously not cut out for it.
>>36320106
>Fucked your mom pleb tier 12 year old call of duty insults
Dude how new are you to the internet?
Remember when people effort into trolling.
>>36320106
Please end it
(your life)

For machines that are hinged, you will only be lift about half the weight if the weight was distributed evenly across the machine. In this case, you are lifting virtually all of the weight of the plates near your hands, while the 4 that are resting atop the fulcrum are contributing a negligible amount of weight to the exercise. You could benefit a lot more if you could find a way to add more weight near your hands, but otherwise you have virtually maxed out the machine. I suggest you start using it one handed instead of stacking more weight on the far end.
The other major criticism of machines is that they remove the need for stabilization. While this is true, there is a much greater need for stabilization when the weight is in a position of unstable equilibrium (e.g. the press, bench press, squat. so called "pushing" exercises). Rows and deadlifts, on the other hand, place the weight in stable equilibrium, so the need for stabilization is much less (mostly just keeping yourself from falling over, rather than balancing the weight).
In short, ignore all these haters. That is a fine piece of equipment to use.
There are dead lift machines? My gym is so low tech, I don't know anything about the world.

Thanks man. Also, thanks for not being a tool. I'm pretty sure the "haters" are just the same anon fag reposting for the sake of seeing his own words in print.

if you're lifting, just get some Chuck Taylor's all stars (not the "Version 2" bullshit, the original). flat sole, incompressible, maximum force applied to the ground.
