Well I am no girl but I used it for contest prep to work the insdie thigh. You need to be careful to not go at it right away but it worked for me. | ||

Flexed1 is right, I have NEVER seen a guy on one. I sure as hell don't want to try it for fear of dislocating my artificial hip. That is one thing I will never have happen again. Can't walk with one out of socket, I have been there 4 times with the last implant and found the Dr. who did it was not as good as the Dr. I wanted to do the last one. This Dr. did the right thing, now it is rock solid and it is not gonna come out unless I am in a very terrible accident. In which case I would rather be dead. | ||

I'm definately not doing any contests soon. I don't think you can even see any muscles on the inside of my thigh, I'm not that ripped. | ||

I did them when I was doing rehab for my hip. Since I don't run anymore I haven't needed to use it. Perhaps if if the time comes again I will go back to it | ||

Johnny - I am kind of ashamed to admit it, but I use those things. I'm looking to get leaner now and do some shaping.....but it also helps big time with your squats (stabilization) so it's a winner even though it looks otherwsie. | ||

haha...this is pretty funny. Today was leg day for me. I finished up and I was about to start my cardio. I noticed my hips are a little wider than my legs. I looked at the machine, looked around, looked at the machine again, looked around again. Then I finally gave in! I felt like such a pussy. I don't think I'll be doing those again for a while. I think I rely on cardio to help with my shaping. | ||

I will nut up and admit that I have used the machine upon occasion. It has really helped to cut up the inner thigh area. | ||

hahaha, this is to funny. I did legs yesterday and I was look'n at it think'n about trying it out. Im looking for something to give me more of that outter quad sweep. It shows it isolates the outter quead area. I didnt do them though, my stomach kept tensing up, almost heaving from my workout. My head was all fuzzy to. So I said fuk and went home & choked down a protein shake. | ||

If more guys would stop worrying about what other people in the gym think, their physiques would be much better. I have no problem using "wuss" weights or machines as long as they help me improve. [This message has been edited by The Shadow (edited February 27, 2001).] | ||

Gil - that comment wasn't directed at you bro. It has really helped my knees from wanting to turn when doing squats. Supplemental exercise. | ||

Let's face it, most people use the inner/outer because it is easier than squats or leg-presses. It is a great supplemental exercise to the compound movements. | ||

Geez, I always have used those machines. The guys at the gym call it the Yes/No machines! I personally like them and I've been to 3 different gyms around and they all have them facing a wall so that you don't have anyone standing in front of you while you spread your legs! Except for those perverts that make a point of doing stretches against the wall in front of them They do give you a good burn for the inner thighs after using them. | ||

what about outter quad???? everyone keeps saying inner, inner, inner, I want outter, outter, outter. Me wants more outter quad sweep... | ||

Gil - it WILL help outer quad sweep to some extent, but not to the extent that Hacks, leg presses with the feet together and heels off the bottom of the platform, and extensions with the feet turned in will accomplish. | ||

See I am man enough to admit it worked great for me. Whos gonna laugh at me when I am big and ripped and doing this? Funny thing was in my gym in Dallas after I did this more guys used it. No ego for me just results and if it works I will do it. I even did walking duck raises with dumbells around the gym Not a word was said, folks watched,a nd than guess what guys started doing these as well. The body has many muscles and its great to see ones that most folks don't have. As far as the clubs try getting your bodyfat down really low and being cut like a mother and taking off your shirt. It feels goooood | ||

I use it. Helps both inner and outter thigh. Also helps preventing a muscle pull when playing hockey. ------------------ | ||

I used to be big into those machines, The one my gym has is just a machine with green pads, and it goes up to 250 lbs, and damn, I used to do the rack, plus a 50lb weight, some other smaller weight odds and ends, and I used to crank out reps of 10 (i think it was 10 it's been a while) I did it last night after doing leg presses too, and I got the rack for 10 reps. And yeah, I never ever saw any guys on that machine except me and one of the real huge steroid guys a few years back. | ||

Onekik- I USE 'EM - Do I look outta shape? I happen to like using them. I think I'll need to see a few close up and clear pics of your inner thighs to really be able to tell if that machine is working for you......o and make sure you're not wearing any undies, it'll block my view | ||
