[jono]

Pushdown are looking really good mate, good to hear the injuries wernt as bad as you thought

thanks man. yeah the ankle is feeling pretty good today. im pretty sure its those heavy seated raises that causes me the probs.

[jono]

Because you're huge or because you're wrecked like an old wrestler?

Usually my physiotherapists just shake their head when they see my range of motion. All the DC stretching I've done over the last 6 months or so has made a big difference and except for my back, my flexibility is vaguely approaching normal. However I don't think a chiro would be too impressed with my various joints

Hope that leg press is sorted for you jono. I'm hanging out for the preacher machine to be delivered before my bicep workout today.

Did you guys notice anything actually wrong with the machines / benches before they took them away, im in the gym every weekday and i use a machine or bench that day and it seems for no apparent reason that the machine / bench is MIA or out of order the next. Same goes for DB's, they are there one day, gone the next and return sometimes weeks later with no apparent maintainance done on them, weird.

When people like that who dont see you from one month or to another tell you you are getting bigger you know you are doing things right.

Nice one

[Ash]

Gotta love those "improvements". :roll:

Good progress on the rest of the workout though.

[deegee]

good stuff, now thats what I call dedication to your legs, changing gyms. Have you had a word to the staff about the equipment "fix"

they did something similar in a gym of mine in the past and everyone complained ( new style benches that were useless, they bought 6 or so) and we got them changed back to the old ones.

[jono]

if you read my post you will see ive already complained and will continue to

[Ash]

Yep - probably related to the same clowns who design machines and benches that don't work properly in the first place. :gunfire:

Maybe they wanted to build instruments of torture (like dentist chairs) and they're taking their frustrations out on us?? :pfft:

[Marcus]

I don't know why with the leg press machines they don't have handles down low by the seat to grip on to????

[Growth]

Killer leg workout mate, i agree with you, if your gym is not able to provide the goods then switch gyms.

well my gym is really a mainstream gym, not a hardcore blood sweat and tears gym.. so its to be expected

Mate the rate at which you progress each week is amazing, youve basically solidified those 40s on the incline in a few workouts, top effort!

[deegee]

good stuff on the 1 arm machine curl this has been a fav of mine recently, really seems to isolate the bicep for me.
