I've been lifting for 2 years but lately I've only been doing machine exercises.
The reason being that I only care about AESTHETICS BRAH and don't give a fuck about functiional strenght and skwats and diddlyifts and all that bullshit
So what should I do? Should I continue doing machine workouts or start free weights again?
Cooper Davis
I only really care about aesthetics, but I do all the compounds and then a lot of isolation/machine work. There is definitely a lot to be gained from compounds even strictly from an aesthetic stand point.
Ayden Hill
like what?
all those connecting stabilizing muscles are so small, you can't see them in photos and not really in real life either

i would unironically fuck the shit out of her
Logan Morales
who wouldn't
Hudson Thompson
Have you made gains? Are you still making gains? What is your goal? Have you injured yourself using a machine?
Honestly, that you waste less time isolating and get injured less is reason enough for me. Leg press machines are murder on your knees and in the two years using them I didn't even make the same gains as the first six months of squats.
Isaiah Green
a person with standards a sober person a person who doesn't want to throw his back a person who doesn't want to feed her
Luke Anderson
this girl has a lot of entropy

MOMMYYYYY
you got so fat being pregnant with me
it's OK; I'll love you forever.
Caleb Anderson
no injuries yet, and I've only been doing this for a couple weeks so I'm still making linear gains
Benjamin Green
Do a push pull legs routine
Tyler Thomas
with machines?
Adrian Adams
Incorporate them but focus on building strength on the compound lifts primarily Look up Metallicadpa's linear progression PPL
Nathan Ward
but doesn't a machine routine give the same aesthetic results?
William Howard
do machines only for until you stop getting noticeable doms and then go and do bench press, you will get crazy doms. Definitely a noticeable difference between compounds and machine only.
Cooper Gomez
you usually "activate" more muscles doing compound lifts, which has an overall positive effect on your gains and aesthetic and shit.
le diddlys helps with abs, squats = nice legs, bench = impress other guys with ur pr
Charles Nguyen
so I'm kind of undecided right now
On the one hand I wanna just do machines
On the other hand I kinda feel like doing a proper PPL with free weights
what do brehs?
Andrew Diaz
>taking in a bunch of products as inputs >adding them all towards one output gain >entropy Do you mean anabolism?
Josiah Gonzalez
no, entropy is unpredictability, you never know how much fatter this bitch will be the next time you see her
Luke Baker
Can I got aesthetic with a 3x week full body workout?
