I was just wonder if I can get similar results with the Machine in terms of bulking up. I know you use more stabilizing muscles and something to that effect. But my worries about my back hurt my most of my lifts in the gym rather then help.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If back is really that much of a worry, than front squats are the answer - not smith squats. Smith squats are terrible.
Easyier said then done. I bike to everywhere plus weights and martial arts. It gets overworked then it hurts to do anything physical. I had to go to a ciropractor to get the tension out. cost me like 30 bucksOriginally posted by C00L

Real, proper squats are the way to go if you want to build functional, full body strength. It involves the muscle chains of your body in the proper angle and sequence the way you would most likely use them in real life.
Real athletes (sprinters, football players, cyclists) all do barbell squats.
If you really want good information on exercise and strength training, look up CLARENCE BASS, MICHAEL COLGAN or STUART MCROBERT on Google, or get their books from the library or Amazon.
I feel these people are consummate professionals who have produced great results for average trainees and athletes alike, and their advice is far more valuable and more well presented than anything I or most people here can provide.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

If youre worried about hurting your back work on your form. If you do the exercise correctly it shouldnt hurt.
Try doing a front squat, its much more difficult to do and you end uo using less weight. It really helps with your form and reduces the strain on your back since you use half the weight you normally do and it forces you to completely straighten your spine.
