I assume you mean machines vs. free weights. Machines are a good way to start lifting because they are safer to use. But a person will receive faster results from free weights simply because they are harder to lift because there is no mechanical help. The greater difficutly causes the muscles to work harder offering greater results.
god! i was wasting my time on those machines!!!!
thank you so much!:D
I agree with everything, but not using leg curl or extension machines. Those are a waste of time. He had it right with squats and lunges. Do those, nothing else matters when it comes to firming up the upper legs into the glutes.
i have never & will never be caught dead using the adductor & adductor. “shut the fck up & squat!!!”
With cardio workouts–Does the intensity matter more of the duration? Both?
Both are important. But easier and longer is sometimes easier.
depends on your goals if u want to lose fat and look thinner endurance running to bulk up not only lift heavy but do 50 yd dashes. Its body chemistry
squats and lunges? hell they arent easy, Steve, it kills LOL
especially walking lunges and dumbbells and back barbell squats. Love ur vids! Ive been getting a lot of knew knowledge from you. Thanks a lot!
depends on your goals. if youre looking to train endurance, go for a moderate pace for a long period of time. for fat loss, youll need higher intensity
But aren’t the abductor/adductor machines really good for toning the inner and outer thigh? I’ve been doing squats and lunges for years and definitely agree that they work the front and back of legs, but my trouble area has always been my inner thigh, so I turned to this machine. Plie squats seem to help with the inner thigh as well.
No they’re not good. Squats. lunges, seated and lying leg curls are still the best. AFTER that it’s dieting and cardio to rid the legs of extra fat. Remember, you can’t tone fat!
I don’t know what you mean by “dieting”, but if you eat a well balanced diet of wholesome foods(without starvingg your body) you can gin muscle and in turn the muscle wll burn off the extra fat stores…
The only thing the smith machine is good for is scrap metal. I would rather tell people to do DB squats than use that machine.
Roids…
Watch my video for proof of Steve Turano admitting his on roids!
Steve,
become a beachbody coach!!
Smith squats? lol.
They’re useless. Do some regular high-bar/low-bar back squats with proper form. Go ATG. do something like a 3×5 or a 5×5 or a 5/3/1 and watch the fat melt off of you and your legs and back explode with strength. After doing that for a while you want to go back to doing half an exercise, be my guest.
You have a lot of information there!!! Thanks!!!! To watch the same great video just drop by to my channel and see amazing video!!
Extremely bad advice as far as squats in a smith machine. A smith machine inhibits the natural forward and backward motion during a squat. Guaranteed knee problems there. Also, smith machines are not safer, if you have problems with a bar or dumbell you can dump the weight. If you’re pinned under a smith machine, you’re screwed.
@DieFatorLiveThin I agree. my favorite exersize for legs are front squats, cause they allow you to lift a lot of weight, it’s easy to dump the weight if needed, and front squats are very safe for the lower back
Basically all the same exercises that people have been doing for legs since the dawn of time.
lol yes these exercises are simple… but in no way are they “easy” hehe, if they were “easy” then they wouldnt produce the amazing results they do
smith machine = garbage
just do it the real way for maximum results.
i don’t have time for the gym ne more and just bought taebo for home exericse just wondering if that is a good decision and what can i do about weights since not going to the gym ne more to get tone
