if you're working out by yourself and you're relatively new to it, i think the machines are safer. sure if you stick to it, you can graduate to free weights. but you can do so much harm, or make it so pointless, by getting the movements wrong with free weights that i prefer the machines at the moment.

You have to use every single machine to get a proper balance of muscle strength, but if you use free weights then the fact that it doesn't run in a smooth channel makes lots of other muscles work at the same time to stabilise yourself.

Is it Thursdays meeting, or Thursday's meeting?

or, when in doubt, cheat: "the meeting on Thursday"

i have 1kg, 3kg, 5kgs at home and then an 8kg medicine ball (which kills me for sit-ups). guess i could start with the middle ones. the ex put together a really detailed programme for me, maybe i will blow the dust off that.

And I've been benching that for about a year. I know higher reps are good for developing leaner muscles and all that but eventually I'll have to shell out for more
