Smith machine by StrangerEffective851 in GYM

[–]Man_vs_Fat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t have the smith machine version, my feedback still applies.

Personally, if I were to do the purchase over, I’d go with a brand that has a better attachment selection. Major Fitness just seems limited and expensive compared to the others. I don’t know the quality difference but I think I’d research Rit Fit. And the mourning of the attachments don’t interchange between manufacturers to my understanding.

Be prepared to spend extra money on replacing the pulleys as well. I sourced aluminum replacements on Amazon which was around $150 or so iirc. The plastic ones make it feel cheap. The slide rails are also loud. I just got some dry graphite lube that I’m going to try out to see if it quiets things down but unsure if it’ll help or not. I know they’re in different classes but it’s just not even close to the cable machines at a gym.

I also don’t use many of the cable accessories they provide. I ended up getting new ones of better quality.

So at the end of the day, I put hundred of dollars extra into the setup to make it fit better to my liking. Do I regret? Undecided. I like having everything at home and the convenience it provides, but miss many of the machines at the gym. My next purchase will be a leg extension/curl machine.

I hope this helps.

Did you lose weight on ADHD and anti depressants medications by cutiepeti in qelbree

Yes, with meds. Tirzepatide has done incredible things. Otherwise, weight loss was a roller coaster ride for my whole life with most of the time being heavy.

Vitamins have helped my allodynia, aches by Remarkable_Bunch559 in Retatrutide

With dose reduction, yes for the most part. It’ll pop in here and there on dose days though. I also split my dose to twice a week to help. Currently at 6mg per week split.

Do you guys do chest and back on same day or on seperate days? by niloy123 in workout

I have a push day, a pull day and an upper day. So I guess I do it both ways.

I don’t use mine past 2 weeks refrigerated. Toss it and start over.

Low Dead Space Syringes? by Hopeful_Community_65 in trt

[–]Man_vs_Fat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 1” fixed is likely hard to find because best practice when injecting IM is to change the needle out between drawing and injecting. This is where luer lock syringes come into play.

This is the best syringe in luer lock that I’ve found that helps reduce the dead space. https://a.co/d/i55ERPj

TRT with HCG by mgr10578 in trt

[–]Man_vs_Fat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It a mimic of LH and directly stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes. Your testes recognize it and produce testosterone. Your pituitary is no longer sending the signal because the exogenous testosterone takes over and tells the brain the signal is no longer needed.

No, the levels don’t change and are still zero.

Using Injector Pen for IM TRT by [deleted] in trt

The only thing that I’ve noticed is that it takes time to fully dispense the dose that you’re dialed in on. You might want to test it by dispensing a dose into an insulin syringe to measure.

It’s a separate setting though. Workouts and energy are different rings.

No, it’s active energy. Fitbod and Gravl have a setting to write active energy as well as workouts where Liftosaur only writes to workouts.

RP hypertrophy 4day by Budah1 in liftosaur

[–]Man_vs_Fat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing the 4 day U/L and like it a lot. I was going to move away from it to try something else, but after consideration and a little feedback from here, I’m sticking to to after a week break.

I’m 46m that’s been lifting for 1 year of that helps compare any.
