Thanks Mike. I didn't know the Phoenix Pro Show was this weekend. Actually, I didn't know there was a Phoenix Pro Show. Speaking of Pro Shows, are they still doing the European Grand Prix?

Subject: [Bodybuilding for Men] Squat Racks, Power Racks & the Smith Machine
The squat rack is a free standing frame which allows a person to load and unload a barbell from an elevated position.
The power cage provides the same but being composes of 4 posts it seat catcher pins which allow the trainee to lift safely alone. The catching pins are set a few inches below the bottom position of the lift. In the event of a fail the bar is bailed and dropped onto the catchers.
Some squat racks feature catchers also but are uncommon.
The Smith Machine looks similar to the Power Rack but features a bar fixed to vertical rails. It is of utmost importance to recognise the difference between the Smith Machine and a power rack since each dictates a very different training style.
The power rack provides:
- A method of Loading - A method of unloading - A failsafe.
A Smith machine provides the same but dictates movement pattern and it is this which renders the piece of equipment useless to anyone who wishes to train effectively. Since the bar on the Smith Machine is guided by vertical rails it does not allow for natural three dimensional movement. This is more of a problem that people might assume.
As a trainee moves a bar through the range of motion using free weights their body requires freedom of movement to make micro adjustments which include the ways in which joints move and the ways in which muscles contract. This is inclusive of small stabilizer muscles which require freedom to develop to do the job they are intended to do; stabilizing the body with or without an external load. This is regarded as functional training since it has potential carryover into the real world.
Restricting the body to work within a two dimensional plane can create stress upon the joints and programs incorrect motor pattern. "Motor pattern" is a learning process which the body initiates to perform a movement more efficiently. As limbs move signals are passed through the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system (through the spine) to the brain. The brain then signals to the limbs through the same path how to change their accordingly through muscle contraction. It's an unconscious process but it's an essential factor when learning how to perform lifts correctly.
A trainee who places faith in a Smith Machine pushing an external load on vertical rails will respond to become more efficient at moving in this manner regardless if it has potential detrimental effects to other parts of the organism. An example might be the knees which can suffer due to restrictions in movement and limited load handled by muscle tissue.
Lifting in the Smith Machine teaches how to lift in the Smith Machine - nothing more. It has very little carryover to the free weight alternative and needless to say is unsuited to any trainee - particularly beginners.
These principles also apply to most pieces of equipment that dictate a fixed plane of motion. An external load lifted in a real life circumstance will rarely be attached to rails.
Leave the lifting with rails to forklift trucks!

The Smith Machine looks similar to the Power Rack but features a bar fixed to vertical rails. It is of utmost importance to recognise the difference between the Smith Machine and a power rack since each dictates a very different training style.
The power rack provides:
- A method of Loading - A method of unloading - A failsafe.
A Smith machine provides the same but dictates movement pattern and it is this which renders the piece of equipment useless to anyone who wishes to train effectively. Since the bar on the Smith Machine is guided by vertical rails it does not allow for natural three dimensional movement. This is more of a problem that people might assume.
As a trainee moves a bar through the range of motion using free weights their body requires freedom of movement to make micro adjustments which include the ways in which joints move and the ways in which muscles contract. This is inclusive of small stabilizer muscles which require freedom to develop to do the job they are intended to do; stabilizing the body with or without an external load. This is regarded as functional training since it has potential carryover into the real world.
Restricting the body to work within a two dimensional plane can create stress upon the joints and programs incorrect motor pattern. "Motor pattern" is a learning process which the body initiates to perform a movement more efficiently. As limbs move signals are passed through the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system (through the spine) to the brain. The brain then signals to the limbs through the same path how to change their accordingly through muscle contraction. It's an unconscious process but it's an essential factor when learning how to perform lifts correctly.
A trainee who places faith in a Smith Machine pushing an external load on vertical rails will respond to become more efficient at moving in this manner regardless if it has potential detrimental effects to other parts of the organism. An example might be the knees which can suffer due to restrictions in movement and limited load handled by muscle tissue.
Lifting in the Smith Machine teaches how to lift in the Smith Machine - nothing more. It has very little carryover to the free weight alternative and needless to say is unsuited to any trainee - particularly beginners.
These principles also apply to most pieces of equipment that dictate a fixed plane of motion. An external load lifted in a real life circumstance will rarely be attached to rails.
Leave the lifting with rails to forklift trucks!

You definitely make a good point. However, I would have to argue that smith machine has its benefits. Then again, if we are looking at the beginniner, then we can both agree that proper form is more suited on equipment that allows for a more free range of motion that will also employ all the muscles of the bodypart(s) being worked in a more free manner as oppse to restricting them in a plane of motion.
To your point, there is a piece of equipment that a particular gym has started using that restricts the user to a dual plane, yet is suppose to allow for free movement within those two planes of motion. theoretically, this should allow the user to freely move the weight. The problem is that the rails that slide horizontal have too much play while the rails that slide vertical don't have as much as the horizontal. Regardless, this machine has caused at least one injury that I'm aware of. Sorry, but I don't recall who the maker of the machine is. I would prefer to use the squat rack or power cage myself; depending on the amount of weight I'm using. As stated, they both allow for free movement of the body as oppose to restriction to a plane.

Hey Sam. This is just a quick response. If you remember about 5 or 6 years ago, there were a bunch of supplements that came out that had drol in the name or methyl in the name. These were some pretty kick butt supplements and anyone using them saw gains. This was essentially a repeat of what happens when androsteine came out on the market back in the early 90's. The problem is that the results that came from round two of designer supplements caused some bans on what products could be put out there. Round two, for those who are wondering was lead by 1-AD, Methy 1-AD, and a bunch of other Methyl products. However, they had to remove a few things once the government entities decided those gains were coming a little to quickly. Just from doing a quick web search, I would say that Methadrol is along those lines. Apparently it was derived from Superdrol (according to www.thesupplementrating.com/listing.php?id=945 and it only has 2 ratings, so there
aren't that many people who have cared to comment on it I guess.) Superdrol was a pretty awesome supplement and allowed for the users to increase in lean muscle mass. It increased hardness, due to a natural diaretic that was part of its mix. So the product could help with gains, but you would have to try it and see how it works for you. I couldn't find what the product was made of from a quick search so I can't comment on what it really in it.
I realize that doesn't get into the weeds as to whether or not you should use the supplement, but hopefully that helps some.
Regards...
Charles

Hi all,new to group,I just heard of a supplement called Methadrol and was wondering if anyone has heard of it or better yet have tried it and what were your results.I learned a long time ago not to take just the word of the people selling these type of things.

A very well put together profile on James "Flex" Lewis. The way he digs
down deep for what he has achieved is very inspiring. It also is
instructive on some of the sacrifices that bodybuilding demands. Part 1
