Title: Toen pec using 315 on a Smith machine...
Post by: 240 is Back on August 28, 2006, 10:18:33 PM
Toney Freeman said on the radio show tonight that he tore his pec using 315 on the smith machine.

He was doing Dorian's super intense routine at the time.  And he blamed the smith for being faulty.

1) What is this Yates chest routine which destroys mortal pros?

2) has anyone ever seen a broken smith machine cause an injury?

I tore my pec on an incline smith and I was only using 280lbs IIRC (max on flat 500 or so at the time). I was going to neck level and there was a tremendous stretch and tremendous tension on the tendon.

ANY machine that DOES NOT involve your stabilizers can eventually cause injury, if he knew from the beginning of his sets that the machine was faulty, he shouldn't have been using it, if that's the case then it's his fault!

I started my diet Aug 1st. I plan on peaking Sept 29th. It takes more than hardness to be successful in this sport. I was plenty hard for a little over four weeks of dieting and almost 290lbs. So BTFU and think about that for a minute. You need to start coming to the show rather than looking at pictures to make assessments. If you need a ticket to the show, holla at a playa and I might be able to hook you up!...Peace.

Wish you luck, I'm glad you won.

I'm well aware of your superiority in size and quality of physique.  Its a testament to where you are that I'm talking about you being harder for the olympia and nothing else.

A machine can be as good as any free weight if you know what you are doing.  The trick is to use all forms of resistance. Machines,Dumbells and Barbells.  One is not necessairly better than the other if you are taking sets to failure.

there is no such thing as a stabilizer muscle - correct. 
But some muscles are often classified as stabilizers if they are secondary groups whose function is removed when a motion is done on a machine and not a free weight, yet the motion is the same.

Or so a frog I licked told me.

Thats really not that unbelievable. Pec tears are weird. I think Levrone tore his doing dumbell fly's with the 45's!!!
I tore mine about 6 weeks ago on low incline fly's with the 70s... a weight I've used many times before. Just a freak incident.
I just had the entire clavical head of the pec (the upper pec) reattached with a titanium pin. Im going in in a few minutes actually to get it bandages changed. Recovery from anastesia is miserable! I vomited all damn day during recovery.

Toney, why did you opt out on surgery? Was the tear within the muscle and having nothing to do with the tendon?  And how the hell did you fill in the gap? You can hardly see the tear anymore.
Good luck come Sept!

Garreth is a fat piece of shit lard.

He is one of Getbigs biggest jokes for certain.  I would dare him to post a picture, but I would get about 10 different excuses of why he can`t.  He has never been lean.  He has never been anything.

Just another fat, useless piece of garbage that does not even train let alone diet.  I eclipsed him a long time ago in all areas.  

While he struggles, I stride.  He is getting nowhere and has been looking the same year after year with no improvement.  What a waste.  I get better each day.

No Adonis, it's not a myth ::). Unlike bodybuilding, about 90% of athletes from all sports concentrate on stabilization training, I'm one of the ones who also trains most of my athletes and clients with this type of training. Stabilization training is basically training for function.

While I'm not going to go through the entire list of stabilizers but here are some groups that need stability training;

 Deep abdominals (transverse abdominis, internal obliques), hip abductors and rotators including illiacus and psoas and scapula stabilizers including the four muscles of the rotator cuff.....anymore questions?

this is not true. there is no replacement for freeweight movements. i dont care how many smith squats you do, leg presses, extentions, hacks, ect...you will still be hardly able to walk after doing free weight squats for the first time. freeweights are better for strength because they affect the Stabilizing portions of you muscles allowing for greater core strength, greater balance and this translates to greater control

training them for sports specific function makes sense...I don't know if it does from a pure bodybuilding standpoint.  I've never worried to much about training a stabilizer...I will take a few sessions to get "used' to doing a movement before I incorperate it into my routine so maybe I'm getting my stabilizers ready and just never thought about it.  I just think if you walk around all day avoiding a machine because you're afraid you're not going to hit your stabilizers your taking it too far.

Everyone benefits from stabilizer training, from a pure bodybuilding standpoint, it would be much less for bodybuilding than it would be from athletics, since bodybuilding is not a performance sport (it's not a sport at all :P) meaning speed, agility, conditioning it's not needed as much as say a football player, baseball, soccer,etc,etc but it is needed.

Machines are great for bodybuilding because it the working muscle directly, anotherwords not many other muscles are involved in the movement to provide stability. As an example, and i have used this analogy before, just because a guy has huge muscles doesn't mean he can throw a baseball 100mph or run a 4.4 40, he might be able to overhead press 315lbs but there's also a good chance he can tear a rotator cuff throwing a 6oz baseball, see my point?

Exit this thread before an onslaught of owning begins. Your hero Arnold, he took a great liking to incline smiths... For verification, watch The Comeback.


That was later on during his career to shape and add detail to his pecs but he did not have the luxury of machines in the first 5 years of training when he made the greatest gains possible.

Don't mess with me boy.

1) What is this Yates chest routine which destroys mortal pros?

2) has anyone ever seen a broken smith machine cause an injury?

I didn't tear my pec, but while performing inclines on a smith I pec pulled real, REAL hard and I was sore for weeks.

You seem to have made great strides with your chest development. My remark about Tamali was farfetched.

You need to use freeweights to bring it up even more.

I think you can get a great chest workout using dumbbells and machines

I don't think the Incline BB press is superior to the Smith incline press, mainly because the angle for the set incline bb press is too high, whereas you can usually adjust the angle better using an adjustable bench on the smith

Is that so? You must a bodybuilding genius

Anyway, I think machines definitely have their place and are sometimes better than free weights, such as the example I mentioned above

Also, I think the Flex chest press at gold's is superior to the flat bb bench or db press. I think this because I have made significant improvements using it, but was at a road block beforehand. i still rely on incline db presses as the core of my chest routine, but I really believe machines can be very beneficial

it was more of the smith machine then the weight..i think it was  405.. some of the newer smith machines that are angled are pretty shaky.

I think the routine of Dorian was
incline bb press
smith flat bench press
cable crossovers

it looks like chicken crap work on paper but If you trained like Dorian did. its like hell
