  1. Squat with no rack

    cheers hit4me - thats basically what I've decided to do - use the smith machine for squats with leg press, hack squats, goblet squats and front squats mixed in. As the smith squats get heavier I will probably have to just do them alone. Annoying that they have spent money on 3.. yes 3 smith...

  2. Squat with no rack

    25kg is heaviest DB unfortunately. Very safety conscious on these rigs!

  3. Squat with no rack

    I looked at steinborns. I really didn't like the look of them safety wise....

  4. Squat with no rack

    cheers pal, good advice - they have dumbbells but max 25kg and I can squat holding two of them 30+. What about the hack squat with barbell? Im trying to do the strong lifts 5x5 but without using the smiths machine its pretty difficult!

  5. Squat with no rack

    Right the gym I'm using has barbells and a smith machine but no rack.... I know tw@ts. Unfortunately I am on an oil rig so definitely no option to find another gym. So the question is what I should do for the month I'm on the rig? Hack squats, clean and press into back squat, clean into front...

    Thanks for advice guys. I have purchased the Greyskull LP. Reading through it is exactly what I was looking for!

  7. Comments please on my beginners training schedule

    I like the dumbells because it's quick instead of messing with barbell. They have some 30kg ones so I'm failing before 12 reps on all exercises other than squat.

  9. Comments please on my beginners training schedule

    Hi Guys - What do you think of my schedule. To note I am just beginning weight training properly at age 34. I am in good physical fitness and eat a very clean diet. I am doing two workouts.

    cheers guys - all very helpful.

  11. Supplement advice.

    cheers for advice - I'm happy with soreness but just want to train more than once a week. Maybe I am expecting too much too soon....

  12. Supplement advice.

    cheers guys. I just need something to help slightly as its doing my head in 1 day training then 4-5 days later I can just about train again but can't give it my all. As I said previously I work continuous 12 hour nights which really do add to any fatigue!

  13. Supplement advice.

    Hi guys. I have just started a fitness regime, combined free weights and cardio with my new job where I am away from home for 2 months and nothing but a gym for entertainment. I have a training regime which I like and requires workout 2-3 times a week. I am taking zero supplements. I have been...
