My question is regarding Joe Row on Machine. I don’t have access to this prime machine in my gym, so I am doing it in dual cable machine. I put shoulder press bench (reverse) at a suitable distance and sitting at the end of the bench and leaning into chest pad for performing this movement.

I am not sure whether the mechanics on dual cable remains the same or not. can you please share your view on dual cable variation of joe row? Thanks!

I’ve been training off/on for 8+ years now and also at a competitive level in the classic a couple of years ago. So I’ve got satisfacty knowledge in body building. I’ve recently made the transition to Vegetarian for a little over a year now. And I’d be lying if I didn’t admit it made me feel a little lost. When I used your diet calculator (24yrs, 87kg moderately active) after a lot of playing around, I can just about hit the Training day macrocs. With a bit of difficultly.

However, for the rest day, it was something like 0 carbs all day, 173g last meal and 373p for the day. Being veggie the macros are difficult or even impossible to hit. Is there a way around it?

What’s your view on vegetarian bodybuilders? Can vegetarians achieve the ultimate physique with no meat or follow a different diet structure to what’s provided on the calculator? Are you able to accommodate a vegetarian calculator?

I know I speak for the minority, but this would be really interesting to hear your opinion on the whole subject.
