This past week was an AWESOME week of work outs. Now I know I know, using a Smithson Machine for squats is pretty lame. But a missionary I serve with made a good point that 300 pounds on a Smithson Machine probably does more that two 50 pound dumbbells. I thought about what he said and I decided to try it. Even though its diferent and easier, just because I don't need to focus on using as much core as apposed to a regular barbell. Its finally allowing me to Isolate my legs and get stronger in my legs which makes me happy. I am sure at some point while I am out here I will get my hands on a good, old- fashioned barbell. Otherwise, this week was awesome! Nutrition has been pretty crappy though.
