Here is a poll for the group. If you have different machines from different lines and in different colors, do you think it matters how they are arranged in a studio? Do aesthetics matter more or workout flow? Let’s assume that a studio is not ordering brand new machines from the same manufacturer or investing in powder coating or painting existing machines to match. For argument sake, let’s also say they all have black upholstery since that is easy to either paint or replace. For reference, I have attached a photo from Strength Studio in Minnesota. I’m not sure if they’re in the group, but I think they have done a good job of combining different machines into a very professional looking space.

I have a friend who has a set of eight black Nautilus One machines. He is asking $6,000 and can ship. I have bought machines from him before. If you or anyone you know is interested, send me a message.

Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson, recently visited MedX Europe in Hamburg and spent time reviewing @Eggert Barwich's MedX equipment. I’ll be interviewing Luke on the podcast soon to get his takeaways from the visit. What stood out? What did he learn? How do they compare to other machines? If you have a question for Luke, post it below and I’ll do my best to include it in the interview. Interview is taking place July 1st.

Here's the original text and photos from the screenshot below (inside HIB Pro) from Marc Campbell: "This week I received my 4 new machines from Eggert- MedX Barwich GmbH which I bought early February. I purchased the Lower back, abdominal, rotary torso and 4 way neck and I'm extremely happy with them! The machines are so impressive when you first see them. Every single one of my clients first reaction has been a "wow" factor, which I feel immediately adds perceived value to the session. The build quality is genuinely exceptional- these machines are on another level compared to other equipment and feel like they will last a lifetime. Each machine does an incredible job of isolating the target muscle, which is going to be a game changer now that I am focusing on spinal and rehab. This was a huge financial investment for me. My first brand new purchase. I know Eggert typically handles much larger orders, but at no point did I feel like a small customer- the level of service and attention was outstanding throughout. Overall, I've been blown away. If you are a business owner considering upgrading and you want premium equipment I can honestly say Eggert's MedX has exceeded my expectations and is an investment worth considering."

Requested by Lawrence. This is the program I used for the majority of last year which helped me put on decent size while maintaining decent condition. Hope it helps people on here out. If you have any questions, post them here and I'll do my best to get back to everyone. Dorian Yates Inspired Routine. 3x per week. Monday, Thursday, Saturday. Legs, To save time I did everything as tri set. Maybe a minute in between sets and as much time as felt I needed after the 3 sets. Each exercise was one set till failure.

Cable Bicep Curl Fly machine Preferred Tricep extension DB curls Dip machine I didn't do much triceps and kept it at the end because I didn't want it to take away from pressing and there was some overlap with shoulder pressing. Diet as discussed was Dr. Mauro Pasquale's Anabolic Diet/Metabolic Diet. Results according to Inbody. 229lbs, 117.5 SMM Bodyfat percentage was 11.4%.
