looking forward to seeing more of your improvements
I love the Smith Machine, have got the most growth from using it.I'm not so much of a fan of the Smith machine
Only issue with Hammer strength if you gym has thick plates. Hard to load them up without the extensions for more plates.I like the Hammer Strength it's a fun workout
Killer workoutThanks for all the support by dropping into the log and leaving comments etc. Just going to throw up the last couple of training sessions quickly. Life has been busy lately and have been slack with updates. Slowly gaining strength whilst losing fat, so I guess its still working .

I love it too, easy to do rest pause reps and keep pushing on my own.I love the Smith Machine, have got the most growth from using it.
Yeah it didn't take long to max out on the Hammer Strength for rows at the gym. You mention extensions though....so there is a way??Only issue with Hammer strength if you gym has thick plates. Hard to load them up without the extensions for more plates.

Very solid training as usual brotherJust wanted to say thank you to everyone that has dropped by and commented on my log. Your support helps keep me motivated to continue training and updating the log. Ok so today was back n biceps and it was a good chance to stretch out my chest from yesterday's workout. It was actually reasonably sore which tells me it was a successful session. Not much else to report weight sitting at 89kg consistently now for the last week.

I would be interested in how to add more weight to hammer strength as well. Is there a hack for that? Anything you can buy off amazon?Yes, i get back to you on that
looking solid broTodays workout was reasonable but was held back from pushing my normal weight on calf raises. This was due to muscle tightness in my right trap and rhomboid muscle which happens from time to time. I had a shoulder reconstruction and I'm prone to getting knots in my rhomboid muscle which pulls from there onto my trap. This was making the it very uncomfortable when the bar had significant weight pushed down onto it. Will continue to stretch and massage it out this week. Been a week now running @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals gear so far so good.

Moving some big weight now. Proud of your progress brotherBack is definitely improving each week. Since incorporating pull ups and chin ups my back has gotten stronger and more defined. Bodyweight is sitting steady at 89/90kg so hoping an increase of 50mg to 100mg daily of 5amino1Q will help somewhat.
