I've been trying to track my calories, and I do cardio every other day using machines at the gym.

I can't find this on any of the machine manufacturers websites, but for example, if I do 5km on an eliptical machine in 30 mins, and it tells me I did X watts of power and burned Y calories, there is going to be a significant margin or error because there is no way they are putting anything other than the cheaptest electronics into these machines.

I would assume that there is probably like a 20% margin of error for stuff like calories burned, anyone else have better information and does that assumption seem reasonable?

protip theres no such thing as neck exercises, the neck has one job and thats supporting your head.
anyone that demonstrates any attempt to do neck exercises is a subhumanly stupid low iq moron.

think about all the tasks where you lift something with your arms or legs, then think about the ones you use your neck for.
Then realise you are a retard.

>the neck has one job and that's supporting your head
and a bunch of muscles attached here and there, also to scapula, on which humerus rides

isometric shrug hold with DOUBLE CHIN will work out your neck well
u need 2 light dumbbells or rubber band that u stand on
the dumbbells must be light so that u can lift shoulders up without compromising neck, without craning neck, lift shoulders up and keep em lifted without any head movement
>>
>>76797880
i mean thats the point you workout the neck by doing exercises that aren't directly the "neck" lifting anything like a crane, which will just injure or even kill you.

Kind of a based way to die though

people putting straps around their head or neck and swinging tires with their necks are dumbasses

Exercise & practical use are not the same thing dipshit. Also you can't get a thicke neck if you dont train it. You dont even have to be a retard like in OP picrel. You can just do neck bridges on a bench, or fuck, even just leaning against a wall. Training the neck can reduce the likelihood of injury too.
>>
>>76797964
stop, take a deep breathe and understand you are nit as smart as you think you are. You are in fact a fucking total dumbass retard,
There is no training the neck, there is no neck exercise. Full stop.
You are training your traps, you do that with shrugs and deads.
But you are too much of a retarded weak dyel piece of human shit to do that
>>
>>76797983
So the sternocleidomastoid isn't a muscle?
You do neck curls with your traps?
FUCKING BOZO

idiot

Whatever helps you sleep at night heh

Your face should be on the Dunning Kruger wikipedia article.
Forget about hypertrophy and overload for a second. Think about the movement.
What muscle makes you able to curl your neck?
Traps? LOL
That's basically what you said.
Do I need to draw circles on picrel so you can see the difference?
Fucking gym bros I swear, growing the most useless muscles on their body but won't do an exercise which could literally save their lives.
But I guess, as most lifters, you never got into a fight, you just act tough and run the second you encounter a real man.

I think the thread ignored your question, but most machines have options to input your age sex and weight. The electronics don't need to be particularly good to estimate calories, they just need info.

>using machines
>at the gym
Walking, jogging, and sprinting is free OP
The only approved machine is a treadmill at an incline to simulate long distance uphill hikes
Do better

deadlifts - no u do with your head whatever helps lift most weight

shrugs will do that, particularly shrug isometric hold WITH DOUBLE CHIN KEPT
>>76797880
regular shrugs won't :D cause u DON'T keep your neck straight, even when it's slow and controlled and u don't keep double chin it won't do SCM, cause it's SCM that keeps neck straight !

I draw furry porn I had no idea I would witness any other human being discussing sternocleidomastoids (they create instant sex appeal)
