I honestly never realized how great it was till recently when I was introduced to it. I make a special trip to a different gym location now just so I can use it twice a week!

Its probably one of the most slept on machines in my opinion.

When I have seen it, almost nobody used it, besides people with big lats

If people stopped and looked what all the jacked people were doing in the gym, there probably would be a lot more jacked people

Another awesome weekly check-in. Bamm is getting to a point where he's getting lean enough to start seeing separation occurring in multiple areas every week. Best part is we're still at a good caloric intake keeping energy upholding strength, so we have lots of runway.

27lbs down in 14 weeks. Machine.

Yesterday was a blur and I had to postpone back day until today.
Back day was great I’m still maintaining weight/reps

For the first time in my life I think I had what I’m going to call a runners high when I was doing stair master today as I got on and next thing I know my time was up which made todays cardio the best ever.

Another solid leg day in the books. Move up on pendulum squats which was very exciting.

Overall I’m doing great as my sleep has improved ten fold with the weight loss, energy has increased overall and I’m not hungry and the weight confines to drop while maintaining muscle.

Check in complete! Back workout has been crushed and now I’m going to have a great weekend

I had another fantastic week and my body is continuing to change for the better. I can’t believe how much weight we have lost and been able to maintain strength/ muscle.

Weekly check-in yet another win. Down over another 1lb while macros are still in a good place, energy is solid and maintaining strength. Bamm is murdering it. People f'ing around on gear take notice of the natty. Nutrition, training, recovery, intensity and consistency win every time.

Some days are just tougher than others and today was one of those days that was just a difficult workout even though nothing changed for the workout. It was just one of those days i had to be mentally strong to try to kill the quads
And now Quads are done…

These are the days that separate us from average, good job staying above average

Push day has been completed. Went up on chest press as 220 was feeling easy but lowered weight on dips. Cardio has been increased but it allowed me to get more of my audio book in so it wasn’t bad.

Pull day today was solid. My forearms were insanely tight and my grip strength was basically non existent so I had to lower weight on single arm pulldowns one plate down. Still a really good workout.

Knocked out the second day of 45 minutes of cardio as well.
