Quiet Storm; The Rebirth of KB - My recovery journal

[Smurfy]

this looks cool. the anticipation of actually getting into a new training regimen is awesome and motivating isnt it?

why not assisted dips instead of kickbacks on the chest/tricep day? are dips bad for your back??

pec deck, no. are DB flyes out of the question for you?

Do you have a legit reason to dislike the pec deck? Most people that don't like it can only give meathead-like reasons, which don't resonate with me. I love it. LOVE it. Gives a great stretch too. I tried DB flyes, not ready for those yet. They take a ton of core stability.

I stopped doing dips a while ago when I tore my RC and never had it fully repaired. Maybe one day, but not yet.

lol meathead explanation - no.

the movement of pulling your elbows together like that is not natural. it doesnt bother your RC at all??? i have horrible shoulder issue and noticed the pec deck always caused issues for me because of the unnatural movement.

back off jackoff!!

lol, I wasn't meaning to be confrontational, GUY. The pec deck doesn't bother my shldr in the least bit. By the way, the one at our gym is not the one where your elbows touch (I'm guessing you mean the one with the vertical long pads that you put your forearms agains?). Ours is the one with the long arms on each side, where you just grab the handlebar - the same set-up and motion as DB flyes.

lol, I just looked up "pec deck" on the internetshighway and apparently I just decided to call the Flye machine a pec deck. Cool.

NOTE to anyone who has read any of my training logs, EVER: I was never really doing the pec deck, it was the Flye Machine.

is that what it's called? lol at my "machine" ignorance.

I've also NEVER used a Smith machine before, so it should be interesting using it this week.
