All These Neew Gym Machines
« on: April 16, 2026, 01:16:26 PM »
Why do people need 8 billion machines? The basics build muscle, now theres 17 machines to emulate 1 movement. Do squats, rows, deads etc. Ridiculous

I think the next generation of equipment will actually being giving motorized support to the movement.

These fat fucking kids on these e-bikes aren’t going to want to actually lift these weights themselves if they don’t have to.

There's a seated shoulder press machine in one of the gyms I use & every Twink & his dog
Is queueing up to use it as they can stack 80-100kg aside on it  ::) 
They look bewildered when I ask them if they squat that much.

Fucking Bunch of Retarded Khvnts. 🤬🤬🤬

If they do happen to Squat it`s a quarter rep or less with way too much weight in the Smith Machine,back waving like a flag in the wind, and barely bending their knees..........fags!!   :D

Very true - only they've learnt not to come into the leg room when I'm squatting as I make
Them do full squats with a fraction of their original weight .

Machines usually are safer and better suited for people with joint injuries for example.

Free weights often also are problematic for gyms as idiot customers leave them lying around everywhere instead of putting them back in / on the racks

What's weird is that some machines are head and shoulders above the rest:

- Nautilus pullover
- Nautilus Nitro bicep curl
- Hammer wide chest press
- Any kind of tricep extension as in the pic
- Feel free to add to this list.

And some machines are total dogshit, e.g. every "Hoist" machine and every overhead tricep extension machine.

Gyms like Bev's are great because they have every good machine and few bad ones. 

Most gyms fall for gimmicks and buy useless shit, though, and often don't have any of the great machines.

From a business perspective, the more machines a gym has, the better. I have been training in different and more expensive gyms for the past weeks, I have a membership that lets me access multiple gyms for a set price, with more access available if you pay more. I've noticed that most people use machines now, even muscular dudes or bodybuilders, they all seem to only hit machines. I mean, the more options the better, but I would not pay more just because of some levitating row machine. Take legs, for example, I don’t remember ever seeing or trying a machine that could substitute for squats or lunges, I always end up doing them anyway. By the way, most gyms in Brazil lack the basics. Most don’t have good squat racks, different bars, or heavier dumbbells, but they do have very expensive machines. Free weights simply don't attract new members.

I'm always amazed how many gyms have multiple leg extension machines all of which suck.
