The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

yeah I wouldn't either since it stops the free movement of the weights (I don't use the smith machine at all) but I see a lot of people doing squats in them.

Do you mostly do benching in it then?

Nah I do some OHP or heavy shrugs when I'm lazy. Usually I do those in the power rack as well though. Squats in smith actually sounds dangerous :p

Dangerous and lazy - you can see that all the people that do it use the bar to steady themselves - they lean into the bar.
 
I'd rather not squat than use the smith machine it feels so unnatural/uncomfortable
 
you can "tone" your body but it means tightning shiz up by losing fat and gaining lean muscle.

I get those when i do traps or upper back - think its just the expansion of the blood vessels from the pump. Thats a good thing i'm told. Can also get it from doing heavy high bar back squats. These are signs of a true lifter.
 
Whatever man, if you're gonna get upset over people using the term 'toning' then have fun. Everyone knows what a person means to achieve when he says this, what's the problem -_-

How to bench press

I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction in terms of reading material? There is so much online, that I really dont know what is trustworthy or not. I'd really like to know the best route for building muscle at the moment. See I dont even know if I should be putting on weight at this stage? Some people say NO CARBS, then other say I have to eat more now than ever even if it exceeds my daily burning??

I am 1.88m and currently weigh about 89kg. I have been going to gym for 3 weeks now. I started on the 20th, so today is the end of the 3rd week.

My program looks something like this,

Mon – Chest/Triceps
Tue – Back/Biceps
Wed – Cardio
Thu – Shoulders
Fri – Cardio

I'm currently doing 8-10 reps, and 3 working sets.

I take a protein shake after work-out, and then again just before I go to bed. Its a Exox high protein low carb shake.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated
