1. Sit down on a pull-down machine with a wide bar attached to the top pulley. Make sure that you adjust the knee pad of the machine to fit your height. These pads will prevent your body from being raised by the resistance attached to the bar.
2. Grab the bar with the palms facing forward using the prescribed grip. Note on grips: For a wide grip, your hands need to be spaced out at a distance wider than shoulder width. For a medium grip, your hands need to be spaced out at a distance equal to your shoulder width and for a close grip at a distance smaller than your shoulder width.
3. As you have both arms extended in front of you holding the bar at the chosen grip width, bring your torso back around 30 degrees or so while creating a curvature on your lower back and sticking your chest out. This is your starting position.
4. As you breathe out, bring the bar down until it touches your upper chest by drawing the shoulders and the upper arms down and back. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the full contracted position. The upper torso should remain stationary and only the arms should move. The forearms should do no other work except for holding the bar; therefore do not try to pull down the bar using the forearms.
5. After a second at the contracted position squeezing your shoulder blades together, slowly raise the bar back to the starting position when your arms are fully extended and the lats are fully stretched. Inhale during this portion of the movement.
6. Repeat this motion for the prescribed amount of repetitions. - bodybuilding.Com

I knew I matured when I realized every situation doesn’t need a reaction, sometimes you just gotta leave people to do the dumb shit they do.

Do you listen to music while working out !?
I see a lot of people listening to music while exercising.
1) It helps you focusing on your exercise.
2) It can give you more energy to do these 2 or 3 extra reps.
3) Nothing, no one can bother you while you’re in the zone.
Listen to these two mix and you won’t get disappointed:

Bodybuilding. It's more than moving heavy weight and showing off. When you've been in this game long enough, you know that it takes more than strength to change yourself physically and mentally. It takes something deep within. When you approach that bar, adding the rusty plates on either under. You pause and think, 'what's the point?' The thought keeps coming, weakening you each time. You brush the demons aside and get under the bar. You stare above, dreaming and believing. You steady yourself. It takes more than numbers to create a physique. It takes emotions, pain and hurt to create the person you want to become. Again, you tell yourself, it's easier to go clubbing, fuck that chick at the club. But why be average? You unrack the bar from the rack. Now your knees are trembling, body shaking. You squat deep down, gathering every strength and emotion you can find. It's at this point the person you thought you were, is no match for the person you've become.
