@ensea12 I'll hit the gym regardless and see how it feels. If I'm not where I want I'll either do a light workout or I'll back off for a day. There are plenty of days where I don't feel like going to the gym but the workout ended up amazing.

@jayaraj I have terrible leverages for squats. I do leg press and hack squats instead, and compensate with a little more core work in other places.

@brock It's notoriously hard to judge rate of perceived exertion when you're lifting in higher rep ranges. I know for myself I can't do sets of 20 leg extensions without buckling under the lactic acid before muscular failure. Lowering rep ranges to 8-12 makes it a lot easier to hit 1-2 RIR (or...

@baker5 that's what grips are for

@theodor98 I use leverage flat- and incline bench machines, a lot like this, with the handles adjusted all the way to the bottom. For chest and upper back I use exclusively machines or cables. I'm pretty much 50/50 between free weights and machines/cables for other body parts.

@polarbearwear My chest started growing noticeably when I moved from free weights to machines.
