Crazy overbuilt equipment

[Hurricane Beef !]

Now which Getbig tool built this? And what the fuck does the bit circled in red do?

Seen here giving Arnold training advice

[Hurricane Beef !]

Gotta wonder what this tool is all about. Claims Arnold raped a 14 yr old girl in his " penthouse " in the 70's yet still uses him to promote Roz and Vince's Gym. Seems like an opportunistic who has no moral compus.

Looks like a variation on Kaiser (sp?) equipment.  Using air pressure instead of weights.

Vince's moral compass is as good as Dick Cheney's.

Somebody needs to post the picture of Basils crazy arm blaster !!

Using air-pressure to simulate the effect of weights....instead of using weights?  


Why hasn't anyone thought of using some sort of high-density gas with extreme air-resistance to simulate the effects of air-pressure's simulation of weight?  That's when the gains start!

So he may well have ripped off another manufactures idea and claimed it as an original?

Vince assuredly has . . .

Yep, that was my first thought,  Kaiser Pneumatic System. I haven't seen it around much, but it still seems to sell to rehab and older folks gyms.

If anyone has the time to find Vince's allegations , please re-post them.THE BEEF would love to forward them to the admin of Arnold s site so it could get to his office. THE BEEF  thinks Arnold might want to send a legal letter to Vince.

"There are very few gyms with as much of this equipment these days"

There's a reason why. Gyms fill there floors with up shiny new machines that know one knows how to use and calls it "state of the art".

Ok, I can see what he's going for.  A needle valve (bottom, right of center?) to vary hydraulic flow and govern resistance instead of loading plates.

You can see Clever Dick holding onto the pressure pipes beneath the 45 elbow.  The tank is a just a reservoir.

Looks like he might have used a second chrome steel pipe in addition to the main linear bearing supporting rod and installed a sliding seal inside it to feed the tank.  I'd be more inclined to use a fixed seal around a pneumatic strut and let the strut rod plunger the fluid, or a hydraulic cylinder (full size or mini & cammed).

Probably a marketable item to pink gyms where plates are yucky.  Chrome rod and a sliding seal aren't cost effective tho and are going to mean maintenance or wet/oily leaks.

Real question is: can you sell used thongs after building your physique on one of those?

[SilverSpoon]

I'm wondering if that is a shoulder pad that is utilized if the leg press can be brought all the way to a lying position?

'Vince started bodybuilding in 1959 and excelled in many sports including bodybuilding, weight lifting, gymnastics, discus and shotput.'  What a sentence.

I got some underwear with holes in it that Goodwill sent back with a nasty letter.  



Ok, fuck all that.  Sled rides on rod & bearings.  Affix hydraulic cylinder rod to sled.  Affix cylinder body to frame.  Fluid runs from cylinder, to variable valve, to tank.

Affix flow meter to tank and to varible electric shock attachments to motivate client.

TBombz likey.

Lots of mechanical engineers here I see.

I have used that machine. The round things are shoulder pads since the entire angled pad lifts off so you can do leg presses laying flat if you wish to.

FLEX leg press is better IMHO.

Those are definitely pressure pipes he's hanging onto.  Surely.  They're not substantial enough to be structural and there looks to be an elbow above his fingers.  Gotta carry air or fluid.

Could you adjust resistance by turning a knob?

the thing circled in red are shoulders pads as per the first posters question.

Man.  I suck at this.

He is holding onto some hand rails welded onto the machine they are not structural.

Machine is an angled leg press on linear bearings nothing more.
