You’re also on gear, so of course you’re going to be in better shape than 90% of people.

Being in better shape than a natural is not really an accomplishment when you’re on drugs.

Just sayin’.👍🏻👍🏻

i'm in better shape than 90% on gear in gyms too. most of them are either dbol bloated kids or older perma bulkers that aint seen their abs since the 90s

i've never taken large doses of gear. i'm probably not blessed with the best genetics for getting huge(and that's never been my goal). but i'm lucky that i'm a natural mesomorph with decent proportions. even as a kid before i'd even started weight lifting (let alone PEDs) and just played sports, i got positive comments re my physique.

not trying to blow my own trumpet....but i'd be in better in shape than 90% of naturals if i was training natural too.

You really can’t compare yourself to a kid or older people either.

I hope you would look better than a 15 year old and a 83 year old.

Just sayin’.

Not sure the last time you went to a gym but you won't find many 15 or 84 years old.

Anyway it's a safe bet I look better than you natural or assisted

Surely Vince Basile must have a patent on this design.

Getbig is slipping. It should not have taken 11 posts for someone to come up with this🙁

So how big your arms are is not relevant

Well not at the under equip third world shit hold gyms you seem to frequent. 

Damn, point out you either have amazing luck at picking ill equipped gyms or you are just scared to go to a regular one and you have a little melt down.  A sure sign of hitting someone's insecurity button is when they start making assumptions about you while not knowing a damn thing.  Carry on bitch.

What assumptions did i make about you? That you have a woman's physique....hmmm obviously hit a nerve!

Anyway I do apologise for not frequenting gyms that meet your approval but oddly enough I choose a gym based  on my own needs and convenience rather than worrying whether or not some dickless wonder off the internet will approve.

Crazy as that may sound

It's so weird how before the two posters figured out the brand, no one had used that machine or seen it or knew what it was called. But then as soon as a link was posted, everyone in this thread used it and hated it.

Getting your panties in a bunch there aren't you buddy?

Never said I hated it, just very little benefit for someone who can lift even a very moderate amount of weight.

Here is the back version  at the gym where I used it. Homo looking PT demonstrating it for his female clients. Mood lighting included

Good thing you don't frequent regular gyms.  If you find a cable machine so fascinating you would be dazzled by that new razzle dazzle thing called a leg extension.  Heaven forbid you lay eyes on a Hammer Strength piece.  You would lapse into a coma.

i have a body solid leg extension/lying hamstring machine in my home gym so that wouldn't phase me lol

i don't find the cable cross machine "fascinating" i just found the cable cross chest fly (or whatever it's called) an excellent movement. best next day chest doms i think i've had from any chest exercise. loads of gyms i've been to have hammer strength (or variations of)

the cable cross thing takes up quite a bit of room, i guess that could be why the gyms i've been a member of don't have them. who knows....who cares even lol

I'm just struggling with whether I'm shocked by your criteria for "your needs", or being dumbfounded that you live in an area where not 1 gym you had to choose from had a cable crossover set-up of some sort.  ::)

In 25+ years of working out, and working at gyms; the only places I've ever been in that didn't were my middle school and high school weight rooms.  It's just so standard.  Most gym layouts are either built away from, or around at least one multi-station with a crossover section.

I'm not challenging you that you can put a great home gym together without one, and get good results though.

Go join women's express then. with your  physique they'll think you're a woman anyway.

I really couldn't give a fuck (notice, "couldn't ") how many gyms have them. No gym that i have been a member of has. And I'm not someone who is going to travel out of my way for some specific type of machine.  As long as a gym has sufficient equipment that I can hit every body part with sufficient weight/resistance , that does the trick for me. I really not gonna obsess over whether or not I'm hitting a muscle from the "best angle" etc

In my home gym I have a grand total of 5 machines (all free weight loaded) a power rack, a bench and a small assortment of bars/dumbells and a stack of weight plates.

Very limited compared to any commercial gym. Yet on the occasion I do go to a gym these days I'm usually in better shape than 90%+ of the rest of the people there.  Go figure...

No pic then it didn't happen everyone is the hulk on line until they get exposed ask the Squad oh wait they don't post anymore

I'm not challenging you that you can put a great home gym together without one, and get good results though.

i didn't say not 1 gym in my area has one. i know one that definitely does, as i've used it but it's a very expensive health club type of place that i go to occasionally with a friend who is a member. but even if i needed a gym membership (which i don't) i wouldn't join it as it's probably around £130+ per month.

also most of the gyms i have been a member of are not been built around a multi station either. i would love one in my home gym (cable cross) but i don't really have space and tbh i have enough equipment already that i can hit every body part quite sufficiently.

i have a leg extension/hamstring machine, a lat pull down cable machine(free weight load) which you can do tricep push downs/bicep curls/seated rows etc . a hyper extension bench (excellent movement for lower back) a machine that you can use for shoulder/chest press from decline to incline/also bent over rows.
a bicep/tricep preacher curl type machine and a hack squat/leg press/calf raise machine. all body solid machines free weight loaders.

on top of that i have a power rack (cage that has spotter/catcher bars can be used for various free weight exercises, bench press/squat/rack pulls, pull ups, dips and a ton more. and i have a bench, dumbells and a various barbells.....and a treadmill

so i really have all i need tbh.


ps also i'm not talking about a "cable cross set up of some sort"....i'm talking about the type that has 2 posts that are a good distance apart that you can use for the cable fly exercise. the things with like one post and cables for various exercises i think i have seen more commonly

I was on vacation in San Diego last year and a relative took me to a huge golfing vacation spot for a couple of days. The gym had maybe 5 of those machines. I tried them all. I wasn't impressed with them. The handles slide up and down the cable to fit different size people.

Did you try to sneak back into Mexico, Jose?

LOL with my last couple of posts I was thinking to myself "damn, I'm really going hard for this glorified soloflex. I wonder when somebody's gonna call me out"  ;D

So you've actually seen it and used it... then I guess my little snide remark should not include you, but it was all too predictable that as soon as someone figured out the name of that machine and linked to it, the getbig peanut gallery started chiming in with their experiences.

As for the it being in the ladies' part of the gym, I will just present to you as exhibit a the opening post: a very muscular professional bodybuilder using it. Considering that the machine intentionally markets itself to a more refined demographic,  it almost certainly was not stealth marketing. I'm not claiming he built his physique with that machine, but yes, of course, it must  have some value for people at an advanced level of fitness.

Another muscular dude spotted in the wild using this machine.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhItw8D7aS/

Bodybuilders seem to like posting themselves using this machine for some reason. He's muscular and it appears to be giving him a good workout.
