With that machine you don't have the full gravity vector against you, though that looks like quite some weight. How's your cardio? I saw a video the other day where they were talking about the importnce of cardio for weight progression -- big muscles require quite some oxigen.

I know the gravity is not there but the system of the levers is so complicated and confusing. For example, with lighter weights (let´s say 20 or 30 kg in plates), pushing it on this machine feels much harder than pressing the same weight on classic bench press. But from certain weight (maybe 80 kg or so), it seems to be easier on this machine than on classic bench press. Weird, I know :D
My cardio? Almost non existent :D :( I used to run pretty regularly before I started to lift but after the bulk up, I´m too heavy for running so I just walk. But I actually walk quite a lot. I would say 5 to 10 km every day.
I have a theory, see if it makes sense: under these weights on the machine our body is not yet using a lot of auxiliar muscles we often use on free weights, so the exercise is more concentrated. When huge weights come into play, that's when gravity really makes us fight hard, so the machine helps alleviating that.
Yeah, maybe. You better come over here and try for yourself :D
Leees do it! I've been hiting the gym, but more focussed to cycling and not as much to gain mass
Not posting as much as i'd like to, but always keeping an eye on the feed 😉
I'm using the celphone to comment etc becuse my pc is extremely slow to produce anything more complicated
I guess this comment was meant to be placed in the other thread but no problem, I got it :D
Ffffffd just realized that.. damn cellphone
