Reply With QuoteDid you draw the extras? ANyway, I think my gym has one of those...but I dont think you add plates to it. My gym has a machine type like that only it helps people who cant bring their legs rather than offer resistance.
But no, I dont use them. Just a regular leg raise would do fine for me.

Anyone Has This Ab Machine At Their Gym?
Just joined my second gym in December.
Its more hardcore (Which is a plus) to my previous gym. There is an ab
machine, that resembles the standard leg lift (raise) device, with the
exception of having two metal rods (One per leg) to attach plates.
You basically, put your knees under the rollers, and, raise your legs up,
with the plates offering resistance.
I'm trying to find more information regarding this machine, seeing that
many don't know anything about it.
Thanks.OMNIFEX

We have one of those, but lacking the attachments that you made your lovely drawing of.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I'm going to take a picture of it, and, post it here.
It may shed more light on what it is, than my "Picasso" drawing
Tried it with two 35 pound plates (One per leg) and, had my lower abs

Exactly, Then I load up my bar with 8 45's on each side and bench it a good 35 reps. Thank you!

Yeah usually I have to bring a welder to the gym to add a two foot extension onto the bar while im there so I can put an additional 4 plates on each side, but I think it's worth it. Originally Posted by LexusGS
