For upper body I tend to use a lot of machine weights since I'm not really clued up as to what I should/need to be doing with free weights in order to work all of the desired muscles.
Typically I do 3-4 reps of 10, on chest press, shoulder press, bicep curl, tricep dips, situp, cabble crossovers, lat pulldowns and tricep pushdowns.
For the abs, innit.Why would anyone be compelled to do that? I just don't understand :\ Makes me cringe just watching it![]()
With the grace of a ballerina!So you managed to get on the ball this time then.
Being a noob is actually a good place to be, it means nobody has filled your head with BS yeticecold
I've never been to a gym in my life, so forgive me for being so noobish
What sort of plan/routine should i be planning, how etc?
Yes, very different types.Bit of a rookie question, are there different types of muscle training?
Currently I'm doing 5 sessions at the gym each week, 1-3 hours in length (Mon-Fri)
My weight days are tuesday, thursday friday (other two are purely weightloss/cardio), tuesday being upper body, thursday lower body and friday, a combination of the two. My current training style is to go with set weights and do as many reps as I can until I simply cannot do anymore and try to do more reps each week (endurance?), as opposed to increasing the weight and doing lower reps(strength?).
Is this the best method of training in terms of building my muscle to burn more energy whilst rested (increased metabolism) or should I be trying different methods?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Solid set of backsnaps, all you need is a little more rotation in your lumbar to go with the extension.Form check please guys?
Nothing for rear delts?
What sort of exercise could I do to work them? Are there any particular weight machine that'd do them - my gym has almost every machine coneceviable so I'm sure I can work it into my routine.
Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsburies, any supermarket really![]()

Looks great. How is the Squat rack? Thinking about replacing mine as it doesn't have spotters.
Cable Cross machine? You can do tons on that, from face pulls, bent over lateral raises, behind the back lateral raises etc.
Rear deltoid fly machine (same as pec-dec fly if you are unaware). These are all good isolation exercises you can throw in at the end of your shoulder routine![]()
Guys and gals
Going to be starting a new diet in the near future, so I believe I'm going to be neededing some nice tupperware boxes for food and storage etc.
Any advice on where people get theres from for cheap or?
Seems fine so far. Bit of a struggle adjusting the J hooks (height), spotters and also adjusting the width of it (bringing it in close for dips) but apart from that, seems like it will be a good bit of kit.
In regards to the spotters, I've used basic squat stands before without anything (bar a training partner) to spot so I would be happy enough without them but I think the difference in price between this and one without them is pretty small, so it was no brainer.
Haven't tested it yet but apparently those who have it say you can use the spotters for bench as well.
Considering getting a couple of bumper plates, so deadlifting doesn't destroy the floor over time.
