Title: Why do women
Post by: Dos Equis on June 14, 2008, 09:48:41 AM
love the rear delt machine?  I swear they are all over that machine in every gym I train in.  I can understand why they flock to the abducter/adducter machines, crowd the ab machines, are all over cardio.  But rear delt?  I rarely see them deadlift, do pull-ups, barbell squats, etc. (except for my daughters  :)), but man are they obsessed with rear delts.  Why?

I would speculate that they mistakenly think it's working something it isn't.

That's probably it.  Maybe they think it's a back exercise?

Maybe they're looking for nice round shoulders.   :D

Any machine that lets you sit between sets is popular with the ladies at a lot of gyms. :)

In their defense... guys tend to talk to you between sets. Talking is far worse than sitting there quietly staring off into space.  :)

drkaje...99% of the machines are those you sit on.  Machines are popular with women because they are pretty self explanitory (or have instructions on them) for those who really don't know what they are doing.  A lot of women are intimidated by plate loaded equipment and free weights.  They don't chose "machines" because they get to sit sweetie.  ;)

Me neither. They are all pretty serious in my gym and they all look phenomenal.
