WE USED ONE OF THOSE PLATE LOADED SQUAT MACHINES LAST NIGHT.

LAST NIGHT A FORMER STUDENT AND FRIEND OF MINE... DID LEGS AT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. THE DISTRICT BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE PLATE LOADED SQUAT MACHINES...SO WE DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY.

WE WARMED UP THE KNEES A BIT WITH SOME LEG EXTENSIONS FIRST...THEN WE MOVED ON TO THAT MACHINE. WE DECIDED TO SET SOME 5 POUND PLATES ON THE DECK TO ELEVATE THE HEELS SOME AND USED A NARROW STANCE. WE KEPT THE SETS AT 12-15 REPS....AND I REALLY FELT THOSE....I AM ALSO VERY SORE TODAY. WE FOLLOWED THOSE UP WITH LYING LEG CURLS, CALF RAISES AND CRUNCHES.

I MUST SAY I GOT A VERY GOOD WORKOUT AND THINK THAT MACHINE HAS SOME VALUE IN LEG TRAINING!

HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED THAT MACHINE? IF SO WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT?

The one Ive seen was an old school one, probably a bit differant then what your talking about.

It basicaly look like a Standing Calf raise Machine but no steps and it went lower of course. This was more of a circuit training type though Not the Plate loaded weights but the Pins like a machine has. It was an oooldie Im thinking it was a Cybex maybe.

JUST WANNA BE HUGE...YOU ARE THE MAN!

GOOD PICS...IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME FOREVER TO GET THAT DONE...THE ONE WE HAVE IS MADE BY PROMAXIMA AND IT LOOKS MOST LIKE THE FIRST PIC YOU POSTED....ONLY YOU CAN PILE PLATES ON IT IN THREE PLACES ....JUST ABOUT WHERE THE HANDLES ARE AND ON TOP...YOU CAN REALLY LOAD IT UP WITH WEIGHT.

ANYWAY...IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY I GOT SO SORE....STILL SORE TODAY. THE MACHINE IS REALLY SAFE AND FUN TO USE...I GUESS IT WAS A GOOD ONE FOR A LIGHT LEG DAY....I WAS SO PUMPED I HAD A HARD TIME DOING LYING LEG CURLS. EVERYTIME I LAYED DOWN ON AND TRIED TO CURL, MY QUADS WHERE ON FIRE! LOL...WHICH WAS COOL.

XCEL....THE MACHINE LOOKS SORTA LIKE JWBH'S FIRST PIC. YOU EVER TRIED ONE LIKE THAT?

THIS ONE LOOKS ABOUT LIKE THE FIRST PIC JWBH FIRST PIC BUT WITH PLATE HOLDERS ON TOP...LIKE THE SECOND PIC. USING IT FELT LIKE DOING HACKS, BUT LESS HASSLE ON THE KNEES. IT WAS SOME GOOD SHIATTT, MY BROTHA! LOL....HOW'S THAT FOR SOME MTV SLANG? I COULD HOST TRL?! MY DREAM COME TRUE!
