Review: Dips - Chest Version

Jan 8, 2012 6:55 PM: This is hands down my favorite and least favorite chest exercise. It tears me up but since adding it to my routine I have added around 40lbs to my 5 rep max. Be careful not to go to low or you will have a very bad day. This is hands down my favorite and least favorite chest exercise.

Tip: Crunches

Jan 7, 2012 6:26 AM: The best excersise for the abs - but only when done correctly. See, what a lot of people (for some reason) don't realise is that abs are like any other muscle in the body; they train better with more resistance. Don't waste your time doing 200 crunches with only your body weight. Put a weighted barbell,...+See More The best excersise for the abs - but only when done correctly. See, what a lot of people (for some reason) don't realise is that abs are like any other muscle in the body; they train better with more resistance. Don't waste your time doing 200 crunches with only your body weight. Put a weighted barbell, dumbell or plate on your chest and do 12-16 reps to failure, as you would with any other muscle group, and your abs will become much stronger. Why waste time using only your body weight - after all, you wouldn't perform biceps curls without any weight, would you?-See Less

Tip: Front Two-Dumbbell Raise

Jan 5, 2012 1:04 AM: Great exercise for anterior delts. But try this: when raising db, rotate your wrists so that way they are supinated (palms facing your torso).

If you can't match your stride to the machine, you're going to have a lot of trouble in getting the rhythm of movement correct in order to enjoy using it.

Once you find the right stride and thus find your rhythm, start at level 1 on resistance until you find that going 45-60 min @ roughly 8mph pace isn't challenging you. Then bump it to level 2, and so on. While you can easily go faster on this machine, raising the resistance instead will turn this into a killer glute workout as well as giving you excellent cardio training, without clinging to a StairMaster for an hour.-See Less
