Proper Use of Gym Equipment
For those who, like me, were new to the gym confused about what to do with all of the strange looking equipment, I have created this handy little chart.
I hope this gives new gym-goers a better understanding of how to use these wonderful fitness devices!

Entertaining descriptions... though I am puzzled about the so called "deadlift machine". (I can't see how you'd use it to do anything resembling a deadlift.)▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #35

I'm pretty sure the cables are where you go to look at yourself in the mirror. If you have an entourage, they stand around you and watch you looking at yourself in the mirror ...and chat with you during the 30 min breaks between sets.

You're not far off; I think it's actually a hack squat machine. You might be able to simulate front squats with it by moving your feet back a bit.Originally Posted by Puckettg
