Brown rice, nice going man. Shame about the leg press. Is it a seated jobby rather than a sled?

[steak]

Brown rice, nice going man.

being the honest bloke that I am :wink: I will let you into a little secret sunflower...there is a packet of red lentils in my stores and one of these wet windy days Im going to do a soak and stoke

For this...I lay all blame entirely on you :pfft:

[rose]

Heh

[steak]

You are...amoung other things...a well of information

[rose]

I know ya

I'm a big, fat, hairy, black man downloading kiddy pron in Paxico. I can't leave the house unless they cut a hole in the wall. My stomach is like a separate person lying next to me. I have to hold it in my arms when I move.

[rose]

Back to the leg press, is it a seated machine or a sled?

[steak]

yip its a machine not a sled...has its own stack so no plate loading..f*ck it.

Getting to grips with the front squat now and they are working gooood. feel as i sit here :wink:

squats are where its at :nod:

[steak]

skipped training tonight...been working at sea all day...ate big...restn now :wink:

[rose]

Yesssss, squats and eating big are definitely where it's at 8)

Re no plate loading, the gym I go to, we have an empty dumbbell bar that we put on top of the stacks that don't go high enough :roll: and load plates on either side of the stack. Hmmm I should take pix. You could try doing a covert scout around your gym for a dumbbell bar? Maybe...

Another option is the pulldown attachments. The close grip bar or something similar would work too.

[startinfromscratch]

just change gyms bro :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

yeah i thort of that but we have these poncy gaurds round the stack that do nothing really..the cable is a kevlar strap so they are as smoooooth as a a smooth thing and certainly strong enough....leave it with me..if theres a will theres a way :wink: Have some dumbell bars there too :grin:

for me to change gyms would be a bit of a bugger as im at 24hr and need that due to work and the hours we do sometimes and I'll be slutted if i had to miss a session cos the gym wasnt open :evil:

Can always go to one legged for now..i think it will be a wee while before im doing heaps of reps at 250kg on one pin :pfft: only a wee while though :nod:

They have told me they are looking out for a calf raise machine too so i guess whinging works.

The thing about 24hr gyms is that they have to be safe I guess incase some plonker drops a bar on his head and winds up fucked...this they do well and there is plenty of weight and the machines are good albiet with small stacks. Found a way to combine 2 stacks the other day on the cable crossover machine so i go from a 180 stack to 360 although by the feel of it its not 360...great for seated rows and CG pulldowns which im strong at :grin: Still plenty of weight on most other machines but most of my work is on the bar and theres is stacks of plates and dumbbells to 35kg but from there on i make up my own with the DB bars :nod:

Woot, my gym is 24/7 too. Comes in handy aye. Pain in the arse re the stack guards. Woodchopper at the gym last night loaded one of the stacks with extra plates. Saw my opportunity to take pix please without having to load and unload it myself. He was just about to put the plates away when I asked if he'd mind waiting for me to take a pic. So then he asks me if I want him in the pic using the machine, wtf :pfft:

[jono]

great eats and nice DB pressing mate
