This week of workouts has been the best I’ve had since I started. I almost feel bad at how short I was falling before joining a real gym… the quality of equipment and the range of weight I have access to is drastically better!
I’m also now working out with a friend and the feeling of having someone else pushing you there is really good. I can get an extra rep with him spotting and it feels like it will be the difference. Having previously only worked with dumbbells, I now see that it was actually somewhat limiting. I can feel a difference since adding barbell work to my routine and I’m stoked about it.
The only thing I see that could become a negative is the fact that we’re going to workout every single day and its during lunch. I’m hoping we can take it down to 4 days a week with one rest day in the middle. The place is also close to where I live so it helps out when I need to makeup a day.
I’m hoping to take some new progress photos in another week since I’ve upped my calories and the workouts have been much more complete.

So the place I joined has one of these machines and I have to say it’s a brilliant piece of equipment. I cant do pullups on my own and this will at least let me begin developing the strength needed to accomplish them unassisted.

I’d recommend giving this machine a shot if you have one in your gym… worth it for those of us on the weaker end of the spectrum .
