The expensive bikes use magnetic resistance. They have belts inside, yes, but that is not where the resistance comes from. The poly V belt goes around the pulley between the pedals and a flywheel....
The floor. Looking for ab "equipment" is like trying to find a bench press machine instead of just doing presses with a bar. There is no shortcut to abs, marketers have convinced people otherwise and...
I really don't see any advantages to that machine that I would be interested in compared to a heavy duty rack and adjustable bench. I'd buy a separate pull up station and lat pull down with a rack...
I think you already found your answer there. Don't waste your time on ab machines. Crunches done on the floor, maybe a small slant board or stability ball, and a pull up bar with some of those straps...
Well, if Coleman squatted 855 for 3 reps, that = 2565 pounds of exertion.
Tom Platz squatted 500 for 23, that = 11,500 pounds of exertion.
Clearly Platz was able to exert more force than...
Its called the Versaclimber. Check it out here:

Until I buy a house, I can't go all out for a full set up in my apt. But I am getting ready to get a Precor bike that cost more than any other bike on the market. But its also my favorite bike and I...
Wasn't Dillet also the guy who had to be carried off the stage after "freezing" in a pose due to electrolyte imbalances? He also had an episode with insulin shock if I remember correctly. This...
Well, I'm not a powerlifter, nor do I ever intend to compete. I do have a friend who competes and have learned a bit from him. I have researched a lot on the web however, without finding biased info....
Most of those are good, but I wouldn't bother with the Cybex if its gonna be the only bench a person owns. I sell Cybex along with Precor, Nautilus, and Body Solid. The Cybex bench has a fixed seat...
If you aren't getting both, go with the power rack. The smith machine is far too limiting. The power rack should provide all the safety you need, provided you take time to set the pins and catches...
If you are talking freakiest, then yeah, Coleman is the winner. But if you are talking most admirable and respectable, Sergio looks better. Depends on your taste.
Sure you could use them, but why in the world would ANYONE need wrist wraps for curls? IMO wrist wraps are a worthless piece of equipment that allows people to not feel so bad about having a weak...
If someone is a die hard weightlifter that will be doing it for a lifetime, why not get whatever is best for them? Commercial is not overbuilt. Heavier than necessary? Maybe. But that's like asking...
The Hoist and Nautilus both carry a "light institutional" warranty, meaning they are durable enough for use in a small workout facility like a hotel fitness room. But yes, a full commercial quality...

I've used this one both ways and it works fine for...
Sounds like we should all toss our bikes out too as they would certainly cause overtraining of the legs...

They are a great way to waste your money and take up a bunch of space. Other than that, I guess you could actually get a workout with it. It ain't gonna do anything you couldn't do for your abs with...
