One pic of Drake lifting weights and its at 11 pages??
Yet the coli swear they hate him
:rudy:

You have to understand gym culture with this one. In a respectable gym with real weight lifters, ANYONE that lifts on a Smith Machine and tries to brag about it like they're really doing something is getting FUKKING ROASTED. Doesn't matter who they are. You get no respect for that. I fukk with Drake, but if I see anybody trying to flex about how much they lift on the Smith machine, I'm going in on them. What makes matter worse tho, is that Drake is actually paying this trainer six figures to keep him in shape and healthy, and dude has no idea what he's doing. I'm guessing he just grabbed one of his more brolic homies from Toronto and made him his trainer. Problem is, just because you're in decent shape doesn't necessarily mean you know what your doing. I know because the first year I started lifting I gained a ton of muscle and was doing everything wrong. Would've blown out all my joints if I hadn't learned the right way to do shyt.

Cool if son want to stay healthy and fit.

But that smith machine is a no no for benching(ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY time I would fukk with it is for shoulder presses. For the simple fact I hate the way they have the barbell press set up). He should start of with 1 plate(on both sides) on the bench and work his way up. Plus like @Pop123 he needs to hit the tris hard. That will help him get his bench up. Also those reps don't count unless it touches his chest or at least close to it.

But spotter for smith machine is by far the funniest shyt I ever saw b:laff: only a gym rat could find the comedy in that.
He's the type of dude that wears a belt AND suspenders :russ:

Drake's trainer is a fukking moron. I've seen videos of shyt he's had Drake do before, and dude obviously has no clue what he's doing.

Not only is benching on a Smith machine easy (adds 100+ pounds to your bench) but its also dangerous; especially if you go heavy. Its an unnatural range of motion, and regular usage of it can fukk up your joints. Squatting on a Smith machine is even worse.

fukk that hotel excuse too. You got to A) find a hotel that has a suitable gym, B) find a real gym in the city your in, or C) work out a different body part. Drake is doing more harm than good benching on a Smith Machine. The fact that Drake's trainer thought it was a good look to post this shyt on Instagram shows me just how little of a clue he has.


has anyone ever applied this add a 100 pounds to your bench theory.
I never tried to do more than what I bench on it, to know if this is true.
if so, then that means I could get up with static and rom at my current like that.
plus, i don't think that is actually real as applied in nature.
I don't think you can lift 100 more pounds on smith machine.
getting your real static and rom lifting.
I, think that is some bro science shyt.
that has gone awry.
from the i wanna be swole for no good reason nineties.
that killed a bunch of great machines and even one mike mentzer.
used to train some of the tops guys exclusively.
plus, I think most bro-science and information on the internet and bodybuilding is coded exclusively for guys on shyt.
so, I take all the negative info on shyt.
either, i know.
or it seems like to much of a injury risk.
for a guy at my level to even fathom thinking and believing is real.
personally, I think all Olympic style equipment is setup for safety and not maximizing any ACTUAL REAL QUALITY LIFTS FROM YOUR REAL POWER STRENGTH level.
after being on older equipment that makes more sense from a personal non gym buddy weight program.
I think Olympic style equipment is designed to protect liability for the event/ gyms.
as opposed to lifting for a maximum personally as a fitness powerbuilding standpoint.
the liability the gym/event is protected by is.
was the equipment up to spec to enable someone to aid you in an accident.

past that, if you are alone one the gym with no spotter.
I say to find older equipment.
where the weight sits in the pockets of your power area for your lifts.
it is easier to rerack and safer from a non spot level.
as long as you use precautions and your safety system when you lift.



I have a better question..what kind of car(s) do you nikkas drive?


Year one manufactured zr1 model vette on 2000 corvette era rims

No. Only on his stomach. Smart lip is different from regular lipo. During smartlip, people are awake. The dr. makes small incisions where you want the fat gone, then sticks a small/skinny warm laser tube thing (idk what it's called) inside & move it around to get rid of the fat. There are lots of videos on youtube of it being performed.

He supposedly got it done around the time that he missed the Wireless performance.

Here's a pic of a male before and after they got smart lipo

There are more if you google. It looks weird because the muscles under the fat are not ususally developed enough to be seen through the skin yet and when you do see them (b/c they got the lipo) it looks strange. It will probably look more normal if he continues to work out.


Okay Drake is a fukk boi.

First off, that fat he supposedly had removed.
if you a real gym guy.
a real guy on the weights.
that fat Drake had is the like volumized mess from lifting.
that once you start hitting that 275 on the inlcine.
that shyt melts away and tones into the so-called visually appealing aesthetics.
so, just this nikka having lips and not really doing that shows he is on bullshyt.
that is why this smith machine shyt is so lol embarrassing.

:stopitslime: Breh, you forreal think we don't know how a Smith Machine works?


Some people in here I think don't know and just talkin some macho man bullshyt, tho.


nikkaz in here talking like the smith machine got actuators that holds it in place and lifts it for you.
plus, if you don't set rhe anchors.
you not safe on no day in a Smith machine.
which is why drake's spotters is a moron, and so is drake.

A lot of newbies in here to lifting... The smith machine has a purpose.... I'll just leave it at that....

Came in to say this. The only people that sh!t on the Smith machine are the novice gym goers who really don't know sh!t about that workout lifestyle. Even strong as sh!t bodybuilders use the Smith machine from time to time.

Real shyt I'm 5'8 like 175

I used to be 5'8 260 and pushed 365/Squatted 550/Pulled 525 in High School but I ain't about that powerlifting life no more

Just tryna look good af and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Been there where I'm the strong fatboy in the gym shyt ain't fun, lookin buff and having abs (I ain't never had abs in my life before it feels good) >>>

Used to never be able to dip even my own bodyweight or do a pullup so this is serious improvement for me

Lowkey I'm so nice to people in my gym, old, young, I always help people and always try to give people positive reinforcement and encouragement. I've noticed a lot of haters since I've shredded down, like skinny dudes that are mad cause I went from fat to swole and they're still stuck in the skinny regime, or fat guys that are still fat and mad I dropped the weight and kept it moving (dudes will try to lift next to me tryna show me up lold)

Real talk the truest way to be successful in the gym is to be willing to carry the fire inside of you and keep your heart pumping through the bullshyt. Steroids don't help, workout programs don't help, advice from other people don't help, carry Heart and complete your goals

It's all about improving yourself, not competing with some random nobodies you don't even know

Physically/Mentally/Spiritually


It's all about the marathon, my dude

:salute:
