In honor of the Mr. Olympia....

I dedicated today's chest and trap work out to all the warriors who will engage in a bloody battle tomorrow.

Flat machine presses
Incline dumbbell presses
Flat flyes
Dips

Barbell shrugs

I used this flat machine press. Boy, what a pump. Better than any free weight movement.

I’m not a fan of machines, but any exercise that causes a good pump has its value in training. Flushing the area with blood has to help with the recovery process... or even kicking off the recovery process

MPG?

MPG?

That wheelchair gets around 50 MPG...

I mix it up. I use machines and free weights. While I do enjoy using free weights, the pump I get from machines is unmatched--the pump that I get from that chest press machine is not the same as I get when I use free weights.

The only time I use free weights is for arms (bicep curls and dumbbell triceps extensions) everything else machines .

Great post. Huge difference in training for BB / aesthetics - and training for athletics. Don’t see too many QB’s or pitchers with 20 inch arms

I'd like to tackle the idea of training chest and traps.  What gives?

“Personal” training session?

I do like certain machines for sure, though more of a free weight person myself. 35 days now (but who's counting) with torn rotator, I've been using them (machines) more of course (have to).
I haven't been this sore in years using the machines, doing higher reps, etc. It is a good change-up. (Though I cant wait 'til this damn shoulder heals).

Been using the Hammer-Strength for chest this past month (incline, decline, flat press) and they feel good.
If I can get the gym to buy a Basile Supinator, then life as I know it will never be the same. When I showed the gym owner, he said "I have one" and pointed at the dumbbells. (Silly me).

I will dedicate this evenings deadlift and squat workout to those brave warriors battling on that stage tomorrow night!
