NAUTILUS MACHINES ARE FOR WEAK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexxx]

I went to try them at baleys the other day and was using 2 1/2 plates per side on it like it was nothing(pulldowns and rows). I was mixing it up with free weights and was training on an empty stomach and four hour drive there! It was funny there was a dude that came in in a sweatshirt and I thought he was pretty big. Then he started taking it off one layer at a time. The 200+ pound monster became 170 pounds and he was asking me what sups I was taking. He told me he was on cell tech and wanted my advice. This took place at Baleys!

How do you feel about the Bow Flex?

 You drove 4 hours to a Bally's Total Fitness?

 That's an OWNING right there, alexxx...

 You had...2-2.5lb plates each side?

 Maybe the new generation of nautilus equipment is 'easier' but have you ever used the first generation equipment? Wroguht iron...chain link equipment?

No it was a road trip. Everyone went to shop so in the mean time I decided to go train.

Then you should have put on 5 plates a side. It's not rocket science.

Alex how old are you?
You sound like you are maybe 12-14. I mean I seen your picture but by some of your posts you sound like a very childish guy that probably has a small room in his parents house with posters on the wall. you know one of those kids that have no friends, girlfriends and are very limited in general. Only this will explain some of your posts. Like this one for example.

you forget that this is Alexxx we are speaking about here....it is rocket science to him


one day he will learn about the pulley system,  about how different machines have different size pulleys.  And so depending on which manufacturer it is he may be able to rack the tricep press down with form.

Idiots!

Alexxx, are you entering the cyber classic?

[SteelePegasus]

lol, Alexxx...here is one for you. At the NYSC in Brooklyn we have the Nautalus uni-lateral bench press (the one where you lay on your back).  Throwing up 4 plates per side isn't too big a deal....but that shit does't translate to the bench press  

but it is great for an ego pump

I was not aware it is on and I am not a subscriber but I just might.

[slaveboy1980]

the nautilus pullover machine is great..also different machines have different leverages nothing new about that.,

You would win for sure.

[alexxx]

All nautilus machines are easy! SteelePegasus just proved my point. Machines are useless!

[SteelePegasus]

My money is on Candidate...he has lost 50lbs of fat...40lbs more and will be at 15% bf. Then it is on....

[Bast175]

well then put on 5 plates per side.

not really, they make for great drop sets without the need for spotter.

lol, trying going to total failure on the bench press without spotter

He does look a hell of a lot better though. Alexxx would walk through the competition over at MD, but they might be biased against getbiggers.

[Bast175]

machines are better than free weights because they force you to use good form, easier to load/unload, less risk for injury, can go to failure without spotter as said.

Regarding nautilus weight stacks.  Nautilus made a women's line that looks some what like their general line.  I used a women's super pullover not knowing it was the women's model.  I put the pin on the bottom stack and did 12 easy reps.  I could never do that with the real Nautilus Super pullover machine.

[Kegdrainer]

i miss the nautilus super forearm machine they had at my college.  It would do forward and reverse wrist curls, and pronation/supination twisting motion all on one machine...you could switch so quickly from one to the other and superset all 4 exercises and by the time you were done on it your forearms would be so swelled with blood and the veins popping out all over you would feel like fuckin popeye.

That machine was awesome, I wish they had one at my gym.

[BRUCE]

Was this before or after your 200 gram protein meal?

[Below Me]

I miss the shrug machine.  There was nothing like it before and nothing like it since.

[getfast81]

Nautlius Machines are solid(especially pullovers).  Alexxx, quit your mission against intensity style training.  Also its not about weight on the machines but INTENSITY.  Driving 4 hours to Ballys?  Moron.  Was this on your way back from Arnolds bedside?   

[chris_mason]

Are we mistaking Hammer Strength equipment for Nautilus?
