I dont trust that machine. Seems like a show off machine. See guys pile on the weight using all the 45s in the gym. I bet I can squat more than them though and I dont even squat all that much weight yet. The machine just seems gimmicky. I dont waste my time with it.

I agree with this

I am doing starting strength as well. I am 36 and overweight. I am doing it on a calorie deficit and making good strength gains and losing weight. Granted they would be better at a surplus but I got enough fat on me. I am going to stick with the program till i maximize it and then move on to other things. For now i would…

You will get the most out of compound lifts. Look into starting strength, strong lifts 5x5 or the new rules of lifting for women.

How about some dark matter

The seeding is wrong, if there is any seeding

You cant just lift and expect strength gains. You got to increase your weights each time. Linear progression.

I wish I was the only one at my gym using the squat rack.

Its time to get your confidence back. There is no better place to fo that than in the weight room. You will drop pounds and gain strength and feel like a new man. Try starting strength or strongloifts 5 x5 to start. Lots of people on here doing it and getting great results. You might just get the lifting bug. You will…

No problem spotting someone at all. However i move up weight in the bench without a spotter right now. I do starting strength. 3 sets of five reps across. Add weight each time i bench

Snoring. I saw serious logs

Pedromcdodge is wrong. You can easily gain strength on cal deficIt. Building strength is not dependent upon adding muscle.

You are giving some great advice. Can you explain the leading with head out of bottom of lift. Not sure i understand it yet. Thanks

Put your headphones on and just do it like everybody else there. If nervous find a treadmill and walk it for a half hour for first time. Relax and take it slow, lots of newbies this time of year. Dont stress it, just do it.

Legs may be like tree trunks but should be doing some compound lifts. Deadlifts and squats. They work whole body and are great workout to. Start low and work on form and add weight each time. With strong legs you will love these, but you will find your legs werent as strong as you thought. I do spinning and lifting to.

Make sure youmare doing some compound lifts and adding weight everytime you lift. Your muscles wont really get much bigger as you are trying to lose weight. Your strength however will increase dramatically if doing it right. Forget the scale for a while and take measurements. You will drop pant sizes ect. You will look and…

What kind of strength training are you doing?

There are much worse things to get addicted too. Seems most body builders are addicted to some degree. I have become addicted to lifting, but just three days a week for an hour. Feels good to get stronger and lose some weight. It keeps me going back. Im not a bodybuilder though, just trying to get stronger and lose some…
