New Ab Machine .... LMAO!

hotttsauce · Jul 23, 2008

Some may have seen one before, but it was a first for me. Walked into one of the the gyms I go to this morning and got a good laugh. Sadly, it looks kinda fun .... too bad I was a wrestler and not a basketball player

LMAO....thats the expensive ab machine Adam and Lori were talking about that night.

Sad, they could have got a couple good pieces of equipment for the price of that thing.

WTF?????

How does that thing work? Are you sure that's not a orgasmatron?

hotttsauce · Jul 23, 2008

LMAO, I wondered if that was the one they were talking about. $$$$$ tell me about it! I am sure an ab lounger is next

You hook your feet in, sit up grab a ball (now that is a funny statement), sit back .... shoot (where I would have most trouble) and then sit back up to grab another (god that still sounds funny!). At first I thought it was some type of Roman Pleasure Chair!

It is a fancier version of a roman chair. You know the little one you hook your feet into and lay waaaaaay back on it doing inclines for abs??? It's the same thing. I had a client of mine that i used to pas the medicine ball to, he would lay back down, then when he came back up pass it to me in a thrusting motion off his chest. I guess somebody just came out with a fancier version.

Yea South and Catholic were really represented huh .... lol .... still ..... glad to see our place in the running.

We have two at our gym and basically all "Newby" type people use it. I guess it's a great for "Introduction to abs 101" but I would rather have a few Smith machines instead.

phoenix13 · Jul 23, 2008

what is the world coming to?????

yeah, we have a similar "ab machine" at our gym as well... A SOLID CONCRETE WALL!!!

oh well, novelty sells.

grab a ball, sit back, shoot, sit up and grab another ball, repeat until exhausted from pleasure.

OK, Hottsauce don't laugh, but we have one at our gym too, and if done correctly with the heavier balls, it actually works. (i tried it) but truthfully, decline crunches with weight works better, and that is what I do. So, you are right, it isn't worth the money. Just my .02

You know I am gonna have to give it a try when I get a chance, was in a rush this morning. Maybe Main and I can video playing some hoops!

agree, I tried it but decline with a 45lb plate is far superior.

VTliftVT · Jul 23, 2008

it would be 10 times better if it were hooked up like a video game at the arcade...

it should be set where each round is a minute and you had to shoot it in the hoop and it tallied a total score within that minute. then you have people try to beat your score...that would make abs fun!

oldfella · Jul 23, 2008

Looks like someone got sucked in!!! What a waste of money!

PHIL HERNON · Jul 23, 2008

HAHAHAHAHA couldn't agree more, I always laugh when I see all these guys doing oblique crunches and endless variationd of situps. I do ask them what they are doing them for and they say to get a six pack. I ask them if they want a bigger waistline to go with that? They get all squirmy and shit when I tell them the key to a six pack is eating, not sit ups and such.

I saw that machine and just had to shake my head! But I have to admit, it looks like some good ole circus fun! I think if you beat the high score ya get a stuffed animal!
