The best gym equipment for weight loss?

JoRocka

"Victim card"? Seriously?

I expected the book to be at least somewhat helpful. It was not even slightly helpful. I read it, thought I had a good idea of what I was doing, walked into the gym and found that it was a waste of money and time. And as I said, others have since backed me up on that -- people who actually lift regularly and know their stuff.

I'm not asking for my money back. I'm not going to sue the writer or publisher. I'm simply stating it isn't what it's touted to be and trying to save someone else the trouble.

and yet here we stand with a bunch of other people, some of them complete beginners, who were able to read the book and figure out how to implement the program even tho they had no prior knowledge of free weight and exercises.

Trick question! No equipment helps you lose weight. Calorie deficit does.

Eat at a deficit and look for this machine in your gym.




And do StrongLifts or NROL in it

Don't you "know" things?

FWIW I like Starting Strength better for explaining the nitty gritty of the big lifts.

Me too. Great book. It should be the starting point for anyone getting into weight lifting.

Well, speaking only for myself... I'm obviously a genius.

QFT. I'm kinda sad we don't have this machine, but I'm making do for now.

I wish I had this in my house. I wouldn't have to ever wait for a squat rack at the gym again.

Just wait, in a couple weeks you should start seeing these popup for sale on Craigslist and eBay everywhere.

I wouldn't think a squat rack would be something resolutioners would be buying, but I hope so.
