>start Nov 1st >deadlifts, squats, too beta to benchpress in front of people so supplement with 3 random exercises I find around gym, like dumbell flyes prison press, barbell row >get approached by gym staff and pressured into taking 6 free personal trainer appointments >"o-ok" >they prescribe programme with machines with sheets I have to fill in to show I'm progressing >been to gym 5 times a week and just use the 6 prescribed exercises because they all know me by name somehow and I'm beta fuck
fuck my life senpai I feel like I'm wasting my time because Veeky Forums tells me machines are useless for helping with deadlifts, sqquats and benchpress later on.
Anyway my routine - leg press 230kg 3x12, the row pulley thing 6 (they don't give kg) 3x12, bench press 4 (same issue) 3x12, back extension with 5kg plate 3x15, plank with stupid leg routine 3x24, lateral pulldown 110kg 3x12
desu the leg press is really fun. Just upped it to 230kg today and sweat was pouring down my forehead and felt strong af. Honestly have erection thinking about it - the leg trembling, the power. For some reason it doesn't feel like imminent death like the bench press though.

Long time since I have laughed so much from a Veeky Forums thread. But seriously, stop giving a fuck, because in reality, they do not care as much as you think they do. Do your own shit.
Jonathan Morris
Tell them machines are for pussy bitches wearing bicycle shorts up their ass. You wanna do man shit and lift with barbells.

>lateral pulldown 110kg 3x12
but that's pretty good, isnt it?
Samuel Evans
>can't bench, squat, or deadlift in front of people, can leg press 250 kg, and lat pulldown 110 kg
Are you sure you're not confusing kg with pounds because there's no way you're lat pulling 250 pounds
Dylan King
>lateral pulldown 110kg 3x12
What? That's complete bullshit
Brandon Powell
>Long time since I have laughed so much th-thanks
it might be user I'm not trying to belittle anyone saying I'm weak shit, but pretty sure my leg press is my strongest suit
lat pulldown 110kg, leg press 250kg. I'm Irishfag we don't use pounds.
Thomas Jones
wait no you confused me - leg press 230KG

Lat pulldowns don't even go that high in Ireland.

Thomas Turner
if this is lateral pulldown, yes it does
the first time they got me started they suggested 50kg but I just bumped it up to 110kg because I could.
Wyatt Martin
Your machine strength sounds really high, i dont know your gym but at my gymon the 3 different leg presses i can do 1,5 my squat, so 230 kg for 12 reps means instant 2pl8 squat, and with that lat pulldown you should be able to do 3x12 pullups. To keep it easy, start to learn the form by adding some free weight exercises with light weight after your workout and after some time when you know how to squat dl bench start a beginner routine, machines are accessories, not something you should focus on. Remember, the only big guys that use machines are roided af, all others do free weight.

lads it's not important, possible I'm misremembering what my lat pulldown is. I leave my workoutsheet there so I'm going from memory. Mind you I just got home from gym and hour ago so pretty sure I'm getting it right.
I've been doing push-ups, pullups and chin-ups regularly so yeah I can do 3x12 pullups. And I could pretty easily add in dl, bench presses and squats but when I go there in the mornings I'm pressed for time and in evenings I'm usually wrecked. Anyway I've used up 4 of the free pt sessions soI'll probably drop their routine entirely afterwards, or incorporate it somehow but focus only on the three free weight lifts. I'm a pretty big guy, still play rugby regularly after work even after secondary school.

Currently doing sipersquats 1x20 squats 1x20bench 1x20 pulldown variation 1x20 legpress/1x5deadlift 1x20 the press variation 1x20 row variation 1x20 ab exercise 1x20 minepress 1x20curls Then finish with some oly practice This 3x a week, putting on 2,5kg every workout, and if i stop progressing i switch to another variation. Finishing my bulk off with this to start an early cut in january, hope to reach 70kg squat and 50kg bench for 20, translating it into 2pl8 and 75 kg 1rep maxes and hopefully ill reach a 75 kg clean and maybe a 3pl8 deadlift
Tyler Parker
More back and lats, althought this routine could actually be a chest+try delt+leg back+bis split
Charles Garcia
Irishfag here too, pretty sure those machine's are in lbs. 110kg lat pulldown is ridiculously high.
Anthony Perry
Thanks, I'll probably add lat pulldowns and seated cable rows to A.
Zachary Myers
To confirm your weights when you can do so many pullups your pulldown is probably 110kg and the leg press too. You have a really high strength base, do something with that, others need a year to reach these weights
James Wood
You'll just get fat. Read the sticky. And trip off, you fucking dyel
Nolan Brooks
Here in Norway they are in lbs even though we don't use lbs as well.
Jacob Jones
fuckk
how are we meant to know if it's kg of lb then? Even the pt thought it was kg when I asked.
Nicholas Nelson
110lb Lat pulldown is a LOT more realistic than 110kg.
Caleb Wilson
The OP is clearly inept in some form or another. What happened in your life that made you so insecure about squatting and deadlifting? Maybe you should seek assistence with your compulsive lying disorder before touching weights.
Owen Hughes
dunno what you wheigh but i lat pulldown 3x12 110lb at bw 165 and can do 4 pullups at max, so doing 3x12 pullups but only lat pulldown 50kg is a lot less realistic than 12 pullups and 110k pulldown
Chase White
id like a rule that forces you to hit 1/2/3/4 before you can trip, dyel trips are the fucking worst
