If you're not performing big lifts like a free-bar squat, and approaching it like a sport unto itself, I can't understand how these guys can keep motivated to even drive to a gym. These workouts are so lifeless and without athletic pursuit. I mean, you go to the gym and do ... machine squats and four-inch leg presses?! No danger, intensity or need to "dig deep". Just go do your reps and then return home and sink a needle.
I'd die from boredom.
