@aeri20 True for any gym. Makes my blood boil. Last time I trained a freaking idiot was doing one set of everything to show off. Used the whole gym and left sweat stains on every single piece of equipment. Of course he walked around like the cock of the walk between "sets" for added douchiness.

@sarinajohn When I see someone taking up one of the two double pulleys to do kneeling double biceps pulls I frown a lot, yes. It's a curl, go somewhere else and free the equipment for an exercise that can only be done there like flies.

@originaloatmeal My gym has single pulleys but only for pushdowns, cables only coming from the top. So for anything else you have to use the double pulleys. Pretty silly.

@bogdanpnw If you do any form of bench pressing, your front delts are covered and therefore you don't need any shoulder press. I like pressing behind the neck for the lateral delts and traps, however. I completely stopped doing traditional overhead pressing. Right now I'm running a bro split...

@knowledgeisnotignorant They're 10 times better than barbell bench for me. My pecs started growing as soon as I ditched barbells and started benching dumbbells and pressing in the hammer machine. Those machines also allow you to do those extra few reps that would kill you on a barbell bench...

@setst777 The only time I've seen rear delt growth was when I trained them directly. Dumbbell raises are the best, reverse cable flies second. For me. 15+ reps and many sets just like lateral delts.

@miles44 3 and 4 are money. I wasted so many years with exercises that I was supposed to do because they are the best. BS. They all suck for me. Once I stopped chasing numbers and started chasing the pump, I started growing.

@kebo Wait, isn't that just double progression? I've always upped weight on a set by set basis. Doesn't make sense to me to wait until you get 12 reps on all sets.

@angelk Deep Water beginner and intermediate will be the greatest change of pace, especially after nsuns. Killer programs and don't be misled by the words beginner and intermediate. It can be done at every level. Or you can switch to a pure bodybuilding routine.

@vloggle Not for me. I always hated benching with barbells. It didn't help that it hurts all my joints and it gives me zero pec development. Not to mention the safety issues.

@unity14 You're doing twice as many exercises as necessary, half as many sets as you should do and probably not training hard.

@jcreigns Exactly. Behind the neck press is great for the side delts but regular press is redundant.

@dawn16 How do you effectively train your entire upper body in one session without it going on for hours? Do you skip isolation?

@ladayer I suppose if one hack squats 6 plates like the RP guys, fatigue becomes an issue. I'm far from those numbers and fare better pushing to failure on many sets
