Thread: Shake Weight Classes At a Gym?

The men look like douches with those things. The women do too, but the men - there's no excuse. It's like when men use the yes/no machine at the gym. Utterly shameful.

Hahaha.

What's the yes/no machine?

- Model is in the "no" position

Abductor/Adductor machine. The one where you have to force your legs closed or open against resistance. Think dirty, sox.

Do you think they call that class "The Circle Jerk?"

We'll all have to redouble our efforts to mentor him in this regard.

Yes, yes, yes....

I used to do those machines because I felt my vagina lips tightening...

why is that?

Because men aren't such strangers to the gym. They should know better.

the reason I asked is because I use this machine occasionally, it gets my inner thighs sore like nothing else, I don't see anything wrong with a male or female using it.

I don't know about you guys but since my wife got the shake weight she can jack me off in a minute! J/K


All you married men don't tell me you hadn't thought of that one

I think Will's model is broken. Where's the cooldown spray?

It's about time masturbation became a workout.

Yuck...

this just goes to show how stupid people really are becoming in this country, first the fast loss belt and now this. anybody that knows anything about the sport knows that static contractions are the least efficient with the lowest returns in regards to increasing functional strength. those things are only useful to invalids

I honestly don't think they do anything useful, but if you feel like it does, you go for it.

Here's what Patrick Ward had to say about it a few years back when asked:

What I mean by that is sometimes when we are standing certain muscles work to perform a specific action, but when we flex our hips (like in a seated position), different muscles are working. So, you may not be working what you think you are working when doing these machines.

b) Hip ab/adduction is a movement that takes place in the frontal plane as a means to prevent unwanted movement during gait (walking) or other exercise. Training these muscles on a fixed machine (which is in a fixed plane of motion), takes away the stability component of the exercise and doesn't train the muscles to function in the proper way, as they would during real movement.

Lunges, split squats and step ups are great ways to train these muscles instead.

I read this thread and then saw a guy doing this just this morning. It was hard not to break out laughing, especially when he was actually grunting and throwing the weight up when doing it.

The scary thing is that whomever designed and marketed that shake weight is probably wealthier than all of us put together.

I'm going to write a book. It's called "Move More, Eat Less and Don't be Stupid."

I liked the South Park episode about them.

exploited humanity to make money is easy. but for those us with with a normal functioning super ego we have to sleep at night or at least not have to drink or take drugs to do so.
