How can I do the workouts without equipment?
Guys, you have answered that question. However, what I am referring to is different. I work out at Planet Fitness. If I'm lucky, I get a Smith machine to do benchpress or Squats. Then, they do not have all the equipment to do all the work out for yesterday in the upper body. Focus workout. What do I do? So far, I've just been skipping those exercises, but I feel that will leave me unbalanced in my strength training.
Machines vs dumbbells
Hey guys, I have a question about the differences or advantages of exercises done on machines vs only using dumbbells/ barbells. I have a gym membership, but I'll be honest, the machines area is always pretty crowded and it's always men which, as much as I hate this, intimidates me. I am much more comfortable going in the weights area, because my gym has a heavy weights and a lower weights area, and the one with lower weights (1 to 15 kg) is almost never crowded and there are a lot more women there too. Am I losing out by not doing any machine exercises and sticking to dumbbells and barbells? Thanks
Rest times & order of exercises
Hey guys! I’ve been doing the glute program for 5 weeks now and am loving it. I have a question about rest times and order of the workouts. If I am feeling ready for the next set before the rest time is over can I continue or is it better to take the full rest time? And if a machine is in use is it okay to go out of order as long as everything gets done? Or do these workouts need to be done as written in order?
