No Crust Racing Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone know much about semi commercial grade gym equipment?

bozodos Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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!

rev210 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 what's the regulars opinion on doing these? http://startingstrength.com/index.php/site/platform_the_lying_triceps_extension 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.

-FIGJAM- Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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.

No Crust Racing Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 You mean what you see in the gym? I wonder if that's an equipment issue or lack of care/maintenance.

Trozzle Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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.

rev210 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 , 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.
