What do you do when it's not enough weight?

I use this machine for the first time today and my lower back is super sore but I feel like it was a good workout. I feel like I was using muscles I’ve never used before lol Edit: my lower back has been killing me all week and I saw another video saying this specific workout is potentially dangerous. I regret using it with so much weight. I suppose it'd be ok on a very low weight

It's a decline press.

Help they changed them!

This machine has transformed my abs!! First time in a long while I’ve seen a difference

Thank you so much for showing how to change the pins! I was trying to use machine yesterday at PF and I had no idea. Another PF video did not address this issue, so a big thanks!

This machine mimics barbell rows so doing it with both arms is fine. Doing it with one arm is also fine - more like a dumbbell row. You also get the benefit of twice the resistance opportunity for each arm using 2 instead of 1.

What about the oblique part

The PF I go to only has one of those (unless there’s one in the express room I haven’t seen). I think they should get another.

Nowadays you need someone to turn on the spa machines for you prior to usage. This is why I wish the amenities were still coin-operated and I bet staff does too as they have to work a little extra now

Excellent

Andrew, the fact that your at planet fitness is of concern

I just started using the smith machine yesterday and this video is super helpful. Great tips, thank you.

I tried this one for the first time today and maybe I wasn’t high enough because those pads kept moving and it was super awkward and I didn’t understand why they would move so much. Biceps are my least favorite exercises.. my wrists are so bad and I just struggle with any bicep movement. Next time I’ll try to go a bit higher on the seat?

Is there a photo of that chart somewhere?

Thank you for this video! I just left PF and am in the parking lot watching this- I freaked out and felt super self-conscious that I wasn’t doing anything right, and got crazy anxious and left. I want to get into shape and feel confident working out, but I always feel so afraid of messing up. I’m going to go back inside and figure this out. Thank you.

Thank you!

I'm on it right now and lost. Thanks

Thank you.

Looks like an old buff version of pete davis

Okk what do you do with arms if you can't reach handles 😂 honest question because that's me with most machines.

I wish the lockers area was more spacious. Also, when i saw the stalls next to the shower that are private changing areas i just knew some kinky gay mofos would use it to hook up in 😂 Im bi so I know what these freaky gays do

Couldn’t figure it out until I saw this video. Sucks that the ones at my gym don’t have full adjustment available.

So I’ve read this machine is actually bad for the back.

Tha k god for you tube...

You're lucky with a seated hamstring that has got a back seat.i envy you.

I am 62 been with this machine for a year, 5 sets of 21 with 170 pounds

Very helpful. Thanks.

From a 49 yr old beginner - thank you for the videos. They help a lot!

The machine at my Planet Fitness does not work like this and nobody seems to know how to use it properly. Even when you scan and watch the video, it doesn’t come to the same machine.

Great vids! I usually just use the same machines I’m comfortable with. Now I can try the machines that i didn’t know how to use.👍🏽👍🏽

Do not pulverize the liquid. The particles get in the air and we all breathe them in the gym. Instead, have the paper towel touch the nozzle of the bottle and then gently squeeze to wet the paper towel. For a few weeks now I have been asking the staff and manager of my local Planet Fitness gym to let me know what the cleaning liquid is and its ingredients, but they all dance around the question. There is absolutely no critical thinking. They don’t get that they breathe that stuff too. Planet Fitness, please post the cleaning liquid ingredients on your website!

First time to a PF and tried this machine for yucks waiting for my son. I'm pretty strong for 63, I've done almost exercise for back over the years. Had such a good response I went back and used it again for reps after my workout. For me it was effective in the full contraction portion, really lit up my back.

Thanks for this

but i feel a pain in my back when i do it with this technique, what's the problem?

Thanks buddy. I’m 68 And I just joined planet fitness. Your videos are very easy to understand And after a lifetime of roofing construction 🚧 and factory work You gave me the incentive I needed to stick it out with planet fitness. Stay safe and healthy and thank you again my friend. 😎

I only recently started going to Planet Fitness and never thought I'd like a machine like this. It's one of my absolute favorites and I look forward to using it when I know I'm going to the gym!

This machine is no joke. I was so short of breath. I went to the elliptical

Good point. Get the form down first because without that you can easily be overloaded.

It is the machine I hate the most😅.

Is this a low back or mid back mschiens ?

These videos are helping me actually use so many more lower body machines that I don't have to just hope one of the racks And leg press machines are open when I do lower body days lol

Thank you

At what point do you eat the pizza?

Did this machine really need a tutorial?

you lifting too fast

This Man seem to be decent human being .!! Really want help people

I had to watch this video to try and figure out how to get on the machine that someone left the legs extended on. I had to do the splits to get in the damn thing

Is this bayonne nj location
