This was solid. Not everyone can do this, but if you are a late shift person, PF is a lot more laid back after 10pm. Im someone who used to lift pretty heavy. You can absolutely get in the best shape of your life at PF with a little modification. The dumbbells only going to 75lbs kind of sucks, but just do more reps and slow down your cadence.. or prefatigue the muscles doing something else before you hit your set. There's always a workaround.

It's refreshing to see someone genuinely being open-minded and making the best of the situation you're in. You offered some great advice for anyone entering a new gym environment.

You can wear a tank at planet fitness

The weight in the hands is divided by the number of times the rope reverses direction. Normally, this is once (it goes *up* to the first pulley, then *down* to the weight stack). In that case, the weight is just divided by one - 100lbs on the stack/1 = 100lbs in the hands. If the rope reverses direction twice, divide the weight by two - 100lbs on the stack/2 = 50lbs in the hands. If the rope reverses direction 3 times, 100lbs on the stack/3 = 33.33lbs in the hands, and so on. I use number of times the rope "reverses direction" instead of "number of pulleys" because sometimes there are two pulleys at the top (like on the machine Mitch is doing tricep pressdowns on), each only changing the direction of the rope by 90 degrees, but the rope is only fully reversing direction one time.

@palljonsson4509

Ай бұрын

It's not quite that simple, you can loop a cable through multiple direction reverses with no effect on the weight. What matters is the number of cables present at the weight end. Starting the cable at the top, looping it around the weight and going back up to a wheel e.g. introduces two cables to the weight itself, effectively halving it. If you start with the cable attached to the weight itself, looping it around multiple fixed wheels after that will have no effect, you need to insert a pulley into the system.

@deltalima6703

Ай бұрын

Sometimes they loop the working side instead of the weight side. You also need to look at how long the moment arm is. Add in the friction for all the pulleys and you should be close. Distance the weight moves vs distance the handle moves covers everything except friction. Of course all that mechanics needs to be done on the muscles bones and tendons too. No sense getting just the right weight and then doing hamstrings on every machine.

Great stuff. I work out at Planet Fitness and love the atmosphere. Plenty of weight for my 81kg physique, but I appreciate you showing how to work with what you have.

Thanks Mitch for doing this vid on Planet Fitness I joined one six months ago and have been pleased with it. I’m 65 now also

The cable weight isn't about changes in direction, it's about whether or not one of the pulley wheels moves up and down when you pull the cable. You could make a cable go around an infinite amount of fixed pulleys, changing direction an infinite amount of times, and it wouldn't change the fact that pulling it one meter would lift the weight one meter. A moving pulley wheel, on the other hand, will cut the effective weight in half because you have to pull the cable twice as far as the weight will move. I work for a shop that makes material lifts and most of them are rated at 500 lbs. and have normal pulley systems. One of the models is rated for 1000 lbs. and it has a pulley wheel in the platform that moves up and down. This is because it would be really hard to hand crank it up with 1000 lbs. on it. By having a pulley wheel on what is effectively the weight stack, it makes it feel half as heavy but takes twice as long to crank up.

Exactly - additional pulleys only affect the weight if they travel with the weight, and for gym equipment specifically, ratios besides 2:1 are pretty rare, so for keeping track of lifts it's almost always simple to figure out where to set the stack at different gyms: x or 2x.

I am a former PF member. Here's my criticism of PF. They don't do enough to educate members about gym etiquette. My #1 pet peeve was: people lounging on the seated machines while doom scrolling on their phones. This is particularly frustrating during peak hours (weekday early evenings.) Or somebody who is hoarding a machine for 30 minutes to do 5 sets all at one go with minutes long rest breaks in between sets. Nobody wants to harsh someone else's groove by asking, "Mind if I work in a set?" Do one f'ng set, wipe it down and move on, especially during peak hours. #2 pet peeve: nobody reracks weights. Nobody wants to run around the gym to find where that special weight denomination has gotten to. Or to pull 350 lbs of weight off the Smith machine before you can use it. #3 pet peeve: complacent security - showing your membership barcode on entry seems to be optional. How many of those people working out on the floor are really members? I had my locker broken into and $200 stolen while I was working out during peak hours. Now admittedly the lock was an inferior luggage combo lock that I bought at the front desk but I'd hate to think a legitimate member did the deed. Last complaint: NO SAUNA. Sauna has a legitimate physical fitness claim because studies show it promotes the body's production of human growth hormone. I never want to belong to a gym again that doesn't have a sauna. Am I too judgemental?

I train at a Planet Fitness because it's the only 24 hour gym where I live that isn't ridiculously overpriced - and I have to travel for work occasionally, so with my membership level I can use any PF. There are things that frustrate me about it - mainly from an equipment standpoint, notably not having some things I would like. However, I can get a good solid workout in - and in a strange way, the lack of some extra pieces of equipment that would be available in some gyms means I can get much better at the basics. Some machines don't go heavy enough - others I wonder why they go as heavy as they do, oh well. I have found that not all Planet Fitness locations are created equally. Some have heavy stacks on their cable machines, others stop at 95 lbs. Some have dumbbells up to 95, others stop at 75. Some have machines that while being pin loaded, mimic the movement and motion of plate loaded machines - especially for pulldowns, shoulder press and incline chest. There are also some really jacked regulars in the planet fitness I go to, so you can definitely get a good workout in them with the right plan.

Without freeweights the workouts will always be second rate, I personally couldn't get motivated for that

@@bdegrds Agreed. There are plenty of good machines but in my almost 4 years of lifting now, almost every movement I have trained has felt much better in the freeweight variation, which makes it hard to get fired up over a machine only gym. This will not be everyone's experience but denying beginners freeweights is probably planet fitness' biggest mistake.

​​@@bdegrdsThey have dumbbells just not barbells so you can still use freeweights. And there are some extremely jacked dudes that hardly if ever use freeweights, they aren't necessary by any means. Though I understand from a personal preference if you prefer them then not having them is definitely not great for a gym.

Judgement free zone, but they judge you if you're already in shape and a body builder. Got it!

No one does that. No one did it here.

16:53 - You are correct. The first machine is more of a fixed pulley. These just allow you to redirect the direction the weight is pulled. You still need to provide the full amount of force to move it. The second machine has more of a compound or block and tackle pulley which is giving you a mechanical advantage allowing you move heavier weight with less force.

I really appreciate your attitude and approach to things. The LHBK philosophy is awesome. You seem like a genuinely good man, not just a strong man. Well done sir.

🫎 Thanks brother!

type of gym "telling people not to be rude, by being rude themselves as they tell them"

The reason I don’t like planet fitness is the following: They say it’s an “all inclusive environment “ but the single out people who like to train hard and who are above average in strength, if you lift heavy you don’t belong at planet fitness is basically their motto so I don’t think they should be praised at all. On the other hand making it safe and enjoyable for new gym folks is amazing but a lot of gyms do that so I feel like planet fitness needs to rethink their marketing. Great video !

Seeing the locations and realising again that Mitch is from my hometown is crazy.

It's the same here in Australia, yes it seems that the signs are directed at me but the atmosphere itself is great. And the equipment is actually pretty nice, I realise that it wouldn't have served the purpose of the video but a band could easily have added to the chest press by running it from one handle, behind the seat and to the other handle, after asking staff it was ok to do that of course, it would be an easy way to add some load without adding stress to the cable

I use PF because I get a free classic membership through my employer. Most of the barbell exercises I do can be done on the Smith Machine. I have outgrown the 75lb dumbbells, but I just do more reps or sets.

I'm a former ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer. I've watched many of your competitions and really look up to you (I'm only 5'6", so there's a little sarcasm there), but your honest review shows a lot that most people don't know about that environment. I also didn't know that you had a KZread channel but you have a new subscriber now. 💪🏼😎🤜🏼🤛🏼🙂👍🏼
