I honestly don’t know. I had a guy spotting me incase I fell on the second set at 315 so I guess I just had the confidence to go untill I couldn’t go no more!

Man u gotta be such a dick to him? lol u can just say “Hey man i recommend you don’t use machines”. lol
But he is right don’t use machines, they don’t work your stabilizers for shit.[/quote]
Yeah tell that to Ronnie, or Levrone, or even our own Prof X who uses the hammer strength machines as a staple in his routine.
Shit this dude is making progress trying to get big and he is increaseing the weight on all his lifts machine and free weight, there is no reason to tell him to stop doing what he is doing. I’m glad he ignored this (the comments from both of you) cause I wouldn’t be able to. A combination of free weights and machines is perfect for mass. The pros do it, any muscular person I know does it, and theres no reason not to do it.

Thanks dude!
I think it sucks if you rely purely on machines, but there are advantages to both, so why not make use of that?
Combinations for the win

I accept! However, don’t let Himorra22 hear you say that. He thinks that HE is the most epic Star Wars fan on T-Nation. We might have to have a three way, Episode I-type duel.
