reverse peck deck is a great one. if you are unsure if it is working for you make sure your palms are at shoulder and when extended hold for 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000...you will feel a heat sensation followed by that burn we love so much.....that will build your confidence level on doing it right.
sorry bout last post , you told me you that you don't drive and can't make it to the gym..... but dude find a way ...treat it as if your are trying to find a ride to get a piece of ass, it will get done.
i live in nc but go to a gym and ask questions. if you see someone w/ a body that you like ask him/her how to train. (don't ask while they are in the middle of the set) also at 17 you are still going through puberty and you have your natural steriod working for you now, use it bro...........
iwgy, do a dry run w/ the smith and have the bar land on your bottom rib, keep elbows in tight and elevate your feet ..it works well and because the bar is balanced you can focus on that ever loving burn.
your lower back is one of your most important body parts and abs are worked with almost every exercise that you do. so hyper-ext is the ay to go. one last thing, your girl will look very nice at 90%.
