better than nothing.
I still find myself poisoned by old, bad, all-or-nothing habits.
I have a home gym, but keep neglecting it (and thus myself) because "cAn'T gO hEaVy!"

In my learned opinion, it should begin when the cord is cut, because until then she’s still attached. Anyway, what if it’s a c-section, or something besides the head pops out first?
Inquiring minds want to know.
As course, as a white cis-het man I have been told that I cannot have an opinion, so I will henceforth act like a breech baby and butt out.
I have an Anytime Fitness membership that’s good at over 4000 locations worldwide, but getting to the gym when I’m working is hard, especially since we get two vehicles for our six-man crew.
The hotels we stay in always have fitness centers, but those are definitely hit-or-miss. In all my years doing this job I’ve only encountered one hotel with a squat rack, and none with a trap bar. I usually end up doing goblet squats with a 50-pound dumbbell. Not great, but better than nothing.
@lurkerhasarisen That is my issue too has been for a long time. Fortunately, the job I have now doesn't involve air travel, just within the state, and the city I go to the most has a gym where there's a code on the door and you can go whenever you want.
@lurkerhasarisen dude, dot red bylaws and shit.
You have to include the rocks saying "oooooh" when you make a "your mom" joke
Especially a good one like that
I’m counting the leg curl machine as a machine (it’s right there in the name)
Huh. I always heard it called "leg curl station", but whatevs.
the motion is entirely dictated by the movement of the hinge
It's still a simple hinge, rather than a pulley or anything else that does all the work for you.
The other ones only work the extension of the hamstrings. The leg curl apparatus works the contraction side.
Noob.
More like, guy who hasn't read up on this shit or even trained seriously in forever.
I don't remember which exercise does exactly what, but I do know I have satisfactorily trained my hamstrings from 1994 until 2010 using no machines (unless you count a leg curl station).
Caveat: there was a brief period in 2007-2008 in which I over-trained my quads, and hurt my hamstrings as a result.

@lurkerhasarisen you're an exception. Generally speaking, machines suck. They force bad form.
Plus, there are some muscles you just can’t work using free weights. Hamstrings, for instance.
Deadlifts. RDLs. Sumo squats . Leg curls (simple hinge doesn't do the work for you, so isn't what I'd consider a "machine"). Lunges. All the variations on DLs and lunges.
