    Little update for you guys:

    We just received confirmation from Nytram for the Cybex Smith Machine — it will be shipped from the UK to Switzerland. =)

    We also spoke with Stafffitness regarding the Prime machines. They informed us about the possibility of becoming an official Prime Performance Center (the second one in Switzerland), which we are currently considering.

    Machines planned so far:

    Prime Kit (offer already received)

  • Plate Loaded Preacher Curl

  • Plate Loaded Chest Press

  • Plate Loaded Lat Pulldown

  • Plate Loaded Leg Extension

  • Plate Loaded Seated Row

  • Plate Loaded Incline Press

  • Plate Loaded Extreme Row

  • Hybrid Pec/Rear Delt

  • Hybrid Seated Leg Curl

  • Prime Fitness Functional Trainer

  • Granite (still waiting for the quote)

  • Posterior Developer

  • Granite Xpload Pulldown 2.0

  • Granite Glutinator

  • Granite Dual Hack

  • Predator Strength (offer pending)

  • Pendulum Squat 4.0

  • T-Bar Chest Supported Row

  • Other Equipment

  • Cybex Smith Machine (confirmed)

  • Leg Press (still looking at Arsenal Strength or Nytram; open to opinions)

  • We’ll also add dumbbells and a side-lateral machine later on, but overall we’re very happy with how the setup for our gym is coming together.

    Currently in the early stages of doing something similar. Unit is mine, but one thing I definitely do want is a Cybex Bravo cable and a Prime Functional Trainer.

    Cybex Smiths are quality.

    Yes we’re also thinking about the cybex smith but haven’t found a place to get one yet… 🙂 but maybe one will turn up soon.

    Prime Functional Trainer is also something we we’re thinking about. Haven’t personally used one yet. What do you think makes it worth the investment?

    Will be in Thurgau near Bodensee. We have not yet made a decision on the location as we’re waiting for the equipment

    Hi

    I’m not familiar with corn flour but personally I’m using dextrose which costs me around 26Euro per 4.5kg.
    Might be an option if you don’t get any digestion issues. 🙂 Hope this was sort of useful..

    I don’t think there is one. (was searching for one some weeks ago too :/ )
    You will probably just have to ask in the thread.

    Sounds pretty interesting.
    Would you then just throw in something like a protein shake as preworkout meal?

    Interesting link to this:
    https://www.elitefts.com/education/training/bodybuilding/cardio-in-the-off-season-make-up-your-mind/?comment=464549

    In the Podcast “Muscle Minds” Ep. 14/15 Jordan answers this question straight up with: “No!”
    If I’m remembering it right he’d rather decrease calories if gaining too much fat than implementing cardio.

    Hope this helps 🙂

    As of personal interest; How do you feel training without any carbs pre/intra? Or did I miss something?
    Back to topic; In my opinion your mentioned post workout should be fine. (Just my opinion 🙂 )
