Anyone know much about semi commercial grade gym equipment?

Kate is looking at something like this.

She loves Ellipticals, but will need something decent as I can see her destroying a cheap machine pretty easily.

Haven't tried those but used to do various tricep isolations with good success.

Look like a tool doing them in the gym. Standing tricep extensions are find

[bozodos]

no more of a tool than some of the shit people do with the cable machines!

I began to read Starting Strength today, so far it parallels a lot of what Markos bangs on about. Good reading so far, and now I know why my squat is sucking a fat one - bar placement!

it's good. I used to do them. The only thing I really ever bothered with.

I did not do standing tricep bro-stensions or tricep pushdowns.

Move heavy and win. Triceps don't grow playing with light weights.

hang on a min, just kind of watched the video to the end rather then just the start. I saw the cable machine and figured he was doing lying cable extensions which like lying cable curls is massive tool vile.

lying tricep extension with the ez bar on a bench is all good just make sure you feel it in your tricep, I didn't like the massive rock he had in the technique, but that's just me.

So no comments re the eliptical? Not surprised really but worth a shot.

Squat question for the biomechanical among us.

I was going through some motions last night and found that regardless of foot angle or width of stance when I get below parralell and look in a mirror, the knee on my bad side is higher than the other. I'm assuming this is either a tilt in my pelvis or lack of mobility in the bad ankle stopping that knee moving out in front like the other one does.

A board helps a little but I'm starting to wonder if 2 legged squatting is ever going to be a good idea for me. Maybe I'll look at some one legged alternatives or something.

Even commercial grade shit seems to be broken more often than not, so personally I'd stay away from every buying my own cardio shit. Too many bits and pieces to break.

[No Crust Racing]

You mean what you see in the gym?

I wonder if that's an equipment issue or lack of care/maintenance.

[Trozzle]

Yeah, what I see in the gym. It's all "LifeFitness" generic stuff, though in my experience the ellipticals seem to be out of action the most.

[-FIGJAM-]

Parents have one at home. Took a beating every day from the pair of them. Still works well il try and find out what brand it is

[No Crust Racing]

Thanks guys.

, I didn't like the massive rock he had in the technique, but that's just me.

Activation of stretch / muscle shortening reflex. Different to swinging a weight with bad form.

[-FIGJAM-]

probably all seen this, but its a old pic posted by the rock on his official twitter account as a sample daily diet

[-FIGJAM-]

also picture of his fridge

meals prepared by some chef

[Trozzle]

meals prepared by some chef

With the cost of said meals (including chef's pay, all appliances and kitchenware, utilities like gas etc, and delivery) being of absolutely no concern to the man.

Oh also he has all the time he wants to work out. ALL the time.

And finally, gear. Though that's the least relevant point here haha

[bozodos]

yeah I was gonna say - people want to eat and train like the Rock, but they don't usually seem to grasp the fact of his other supplementation lol..
