you just grab the ab wheel and then get on ur knees and kind of slowly stretch out. You can do it with straight legs too but it's harder

very well actually

i can do 10 now from a standing position

Are you supposed to be able to go out the same distance while standing? I can do 5x12 kneeling no problem but I can't even do 1 rep standing if I try to extend out the same distance.

Yes. Try doing it with the bank of your feet against a wall for more support.

Do they have weights at planet fitness? I thought its just wall to wall cardio machines for people to sit on and enjoy their free pizza and bagels.

mine does. It's huge-- they've got 4 long rows of cardio equipment, and then they've got a poo poo load of weight machines, and then they've got the free weights and squat racks and all that fun stuff.

If it's anything like the planet fitnesses I've used, the weight rack ends at 60 pounds and those squat racks are all Smith machines

Smith machines are like squat racks with training wheels, you wouldn't want to engage any stabilizers or anything hazardous like that.

*shrug* dunno. It's an independenty owned franchise and I guess they decided to put real squat racks. They've got 2 smith machines and then two real squat racks. I forget how high the weights go because i'm very gay and am only just starting.

The lunk alarm is useful if you are about to do a PR deadlift or something and you want the whole gym to witness your greatness. Just drop a dumbell, grunt loudly and be safe in the knowledge that all eyes are now on you as you approach the bar with your chalked up hands (chalk also not allowed)

Lmao at the little retard Jebany getting banned.

I've never seen a planet fitness with free weights over 70 pounds. Or one with real benches, only machines. Or real squat racks for that matter, only Smith machines. The one I went to for a month had a sign on the Smith machine saying "no dead lifting allowed!". Awesome "gym" you got here.

I have a feeling people at my gym think I'm a poor as I always wear the same black under armour shorts and 5 different tank tops every week... I just do a load of laundry once per week so I'm not smelly or whatevs.

Can't believe how expensive some of this female fitness clothing can run. One of my friends thinks she has about 1.5 to 2k spent on that Lululemon brand alone.... I mean I don't mind because I get to see hot as balls woman scantily dressed while working out but screw spending that kind of dough.

I'm assuming just about everyone here wears headphones or buds while working out. Anyone have any testimonials on brands they like? I got one of those Sol Republic wireless Bluetooth ear buds, now on Amazon but used to be an best buy exclusive.

They sounded great but over a few months it seems the Bluetooth is crapping out. When I turn my head to the side and it rubs against them it would cut out. And now just walking normally they keep making a loud popping/static noise and are pretty much useless now... Thankfully I got the $15 2yr warranty, now just got to decide which brand I'll go with next.

The Jaybird bluebuds x have been around for a while now and have decent reviews. I just can't imagine using those bulky over ear cans everyone seems to be switching to. I sweat like a mofo and have no desire dealing with swamp rear end but for my ears...
