Hammercurl, Good job on the weight loss. I have lost 200 lbs in the last 4 years so I know the dedication it takes. Remember, the great physique doesn't occur overnight....it will take 10 years or more, especially with the metabolism damage caused by massive weight loss. Since you are young...

I wasn't talking about using the stops on the Smith, I don't use those either. The hooks on my machine are 3" apart, so the most I ever have to move the bar is 1.5" either up or down. No matter how fatigued, I have been able to move the bar an inch and a half. If that doesn't work, I would...

This is such a damn ignorant statement that I have to weigh in on this. Normal bench pressing is NOT safer than Smith pressing. Tell that to the former Steeler player that recently died under a free weight bar or the other dozen that die every year in these mishaps. I have a Smith machine at...

I had extensive conversations with them recently before deciding to purchase a Parabody instead. Actually the company is in Poland, but now have an American distributor. The basic drawback is that they use a roller system rather than linear bearings. As a mechanical engineer that threw up a...

LOL....yeah there is plenty left. I started at 410 lbs :worried: Actually, all of my blood test numbers have normalized significantly. LC diets, like any diet, isn't for everyone. I'm glad I made the right choice. And some of the new breed of LC products can help everyone. Things like Hood...

I recently completed a 2 1/2 year stay on a low carb diet and lost 185 lbs. For me though, 60-80g carbs per day was optimal, these people who try to stay at less than 20g are nuts.

Because its BS And as far as peer reviewed medical studies, there were lots of those in the 70s that stated gear didn't work. Tests can be biased (compromised) in any number of ways.

Its a pretty tough measurement because you only have the non-flexed hand free. Obviously you want to use a soft tape measure (used for sewing etc), wrap it around your arm, and I find it easiest when you loop it, so the tape measure is lying on itself which helps keep it from sliding off. Then...

The German-American brand actually tastes good, like vanilla. And it's priced great too :)

No, theirs is totally 100% glutamine peptides, while yours is a mix of all sorts of stuff, only about 1/3 of which is glutamine peptides

If you honestly feel like you are doing everything right but still stuck, there is a new generation of Methylated pro-steroids that are legal (for now) and very effective. Do some research on things like: M-1T M1,4 diol M-Dien M4-OHN M5-AA With my standing in the community, I just can't take...

I'm a big believer in peptides. Omegas products are too expensive for me, so I take the German-American brand. 1000g for around $30.

Good for you. I've lost 124 lbs in the last 2 years, and 169 lbs since '96. Keep lifting so you can keep your metabolism up.

Go to the Yukon Fitness website. You can get a really decent hack squat/leg press for $600. I have the $900 model of theirs. I would also consider a leg ext/curl machine, decent ones are $250

yeah
