Power Plate

Has anyone used this? My gym just got one, I was wondering if its worth using?

 

[UGAthlete]

A number of the top level collegiate programs are using them in their training routines. We covered a lot of studies with positive effects in my muscle physiology class.

do not bother

remember that your body is an adaptation machine. You will out grow this machine very quickly. Stick with the basics as they always work and there are always more weights you can add to the bar.

New one on me. Educate me please. What is this?

 

[Bionic]

It vibrates causing all sorts of muscles to kick in and adapt.

great for stretching hams and improving bilateral deficiency. only upscale gyms like equinox have that. and you must use it with trainer. my chiro has it and and it serves its purpose.

MUst be careful on it though-its a very high frequency vibration-a buddy of mine who has epilepsy (hadn't had an attack in years) had a seizure just after using it-it is contraindicated, but still, he's been using stimulants-clen, ECA-with no problems and got on that once.

Does it offer any advantages over a regular dildo?

 

[Phidias]

Use it as another tool in ur arsenal, not to replace any training you might be doing.

I personally tested it for a month or so about everyday for 15 mins at the end of my workout (always the same position, targetting mainly glutes, lower back and abs), and HONESTLY I got leaner in those areas WAY FASTER than I usually do by just training and dieting down... and let me tell u something, the first sessions will be PAINFUL! Don't ever think it's a girlie stuff... lol...

So to give you a short answer, YES I THINK IT WORKS... and actually works well.

Search Whole Body Vibration. There is a huge amount of research for various pain related issues as well as weight loss. Especially good for those with limited mobility. Many pro sports teams as well as college are using them. Try vibraflex.com and slimvibes.com for research info. Since using one, I am no longer bothered by what was a chronic sciatic problem.

i sell these as part of our company's line. i am a manufacturers rep for a cardio/strength supplier in the US. we carry a few of these as part of our line. vibration in the US hasnt taken hold yet. Vibration in europe is MASSIVE. to give you an example, in the US last year we sold less than 100 total machines. In spain last year alone our company sold 50,000 vibration machines!

it is not recommended for women who may be pregnant and can cause miscarriages due to the intense vibrations.

if you have an injury be very very careful. i know of a few people who live and breathe using these machines for their rehabilitative effects. but personally i have had my knee scoped and have a fairly bad back with a fused disk and herniations in L4-L5. when i step on the vibration platform it kills my back to the point where i cant stand up for an hour. and it blows my knee up very badly causing intense throbbing pain.

to each their own. if anyone wants specific details about WBV feel free to PM me anytime. we have done extensive research and studied them quite a bit.

News to me as well. Ive not seen or heard of anything like it.

So… its a giant vibrator?

 

[ferd]

The motion isn't so much a vibration as it is a tetter-totter moving about 1/2 inch up and down, very quickly.

Dumb question Moen

Does it offer any advantages over a regular dildo?

It is different, because the machine is a dildo and you must be a dildo to use it.

 

[taz]

a true WBV machine works on 3 planes simultaneously. up and down, left and right, forward and back.

everything else is just a vibrating platform and can do serious damage to your hips and lower back.
