Rage Against the Machines

Steve Schmitt performing a 1RM on the abductor machine.  Awesome!

 Machines are not only ineffective, they are actually more dangerous than free weights.  By design, they force your muscles to move loads in isolation, something they were never designed to do.  Check out this article (even MSN Health is recommending people stay away from the machines), amazingly the machines that are most detrimental to your health, are also the ones that are the most popular at gyms.

    It’s just like I remember training with you, Nabil…..ONLY WORSE! Feeling like I need a rest day after that killer WOD and 3 mile run yesterday!!! It strethced me a little bit but I guess that’s why I miss training with you!! I had planned on joining you again today but my body is saying NOOOOO! I’m trying to figure out how to post your crazy workout on “beyondthewhiteboard”…..if you don’t know about that site, you might want to check it out…it’s pretty cool! Thanks Nabil….Donna D.

    MJ- I didn’t plan on him drinking for all 7 days. I apologize if I’ve disrespected the founding father of “Who’s Your Daddy”
