hey thanks for the replys everone. i think that the mechanical aspect of the machines helps out alot. because with my bench it has these fly attachments, which i can place onto the bench, and well you slide the weights on and grap the handles and fly inwards, but there is no balanceing work...

yes its still a back exercise, the clue is in the name PULLDOWNS, its a pulling exercise and pulling exercises work the back and biceps.

this thread just got me thinking about someing. isnt core work the same as other muscles were by there is isolation exercises and compound exercises. what i mean is hyperextensions is a isolation exercise for the lower back, and cruches are a isolation exercise for the abs, so wouldnt planks be...

i ment isolation, sorry.

first of all lat bar pulldowns are a back exercise not a chest one. as for chest there is only really 3 things you can do they are: pressing exercises (compound) - weather its incline, decline, flat, barbell, dumbbell. flyes (compound) - weather its incline, decline, flat, dumbbells...

on what exercises is it getting weaker on, if for example it is bench press it may not be the chest that is getting weaker it may be that the triceps and shoulders cant keep up with your chest and they need isolation work. i dont really know, thats the only thing i could think off, im no expert.

i dont think it really matters, but i have a slight bend in my legs when i do them.

thanks for the reply biggly. the reason i asked was because i was watching a Rocky marathon a the a few days ago, (those movies rock), and in the Rocky 2 here he is training he is doing a barbell shoulders press, but he does a rep to the front, then one to the back off the neck, then one to the...

can anyone help with my questions.

hi guys i also have a question related to shoulders, i know that behind the neck shoulder presses can can bad for the shoulders, because when you start to push the bar up it can hurt your shoulders. but what about pullups to the back of the neck, some people say its also bad for the shoulders...

im not sure pain is the right word ethier, i think the word you are looking for is soreness. and its normally to really feel it in your legs when doing squats, leg work really takes it out of you, guys sometimes keep a bucket next to the squat rack ready to trow up in.

thanks for the reply, and i get it, its from friends where ross is takeing the couch up the stairs. that show was so funny.

hi gazhole i started a thread called "gym machines", and your reply to Skin n Bonez question just answered one of the questions that i had, thanks. my question was about training just the muscles being used in lifting things, or getting used to the movment itself. i guess you answered that thanks.

thanks for the reply chiquita6683. i guess the reason i was asking the frist question is becasue, i know that if someone only trains on machines and doesnt use free weights they are missing out big time. but does it apply the other way, if someone only uses free weight, (oh and bodyweight...

hi guys, as some off you may know by now, i workout at home and can only do free weight exercises. i know that if you use mainly machines and then try free weights you will not be able to do as much weight, because you will be using more stabilizing muscles. my friend goes to the gym and mainly...

if they dont get worked from those exercises and there is no need to isolate them, then how are they going to grow.

well done with the weight loss, but i was just woundering it doesnt say shoulders anywhere in your routine.

yeh rear delts get worked well with pulling exercises, thats why i dont really isolate them. but if i was to do a isolation exercise for them, such as rear delt flys is it best to do it on my pull day, or on my push day with the other delts.
