    Dude. Those things can be awesome!

    I'll go leg press over 500lbs, do my squat routine, and deadlift - and then end my leg day with a few sets of the adduction machine (the one where you move your legs apart)

    It gives shape to your quads and is one of the easier exercises - I've gotten past the stares I get while using it haha

    I'm with you, I was in a military gym getting looks from the dudes that walk around with their puffed arms out. You know the ones I'm talking about...big upper body with chicken legs?

    Isn't there a cable machine that will do these exercises just as well for the men (and women)?

    You know you feel guilty when you have to post about it with a Saved by the Bell "Come at me bro" meme.

    I hear wearing high heels makes your butt look more perky.

    Does this burn calories? Only asking for research purposes.

    You guys have me laughing on the floor!

    1. I brought my favorite purse
    2. Left my heels at home
    3. Don't feel guilty unless I am wearing really short shorts and I am free-balling it.

    um...

    yup a billion.
    sadly the calories that come with satisfaction of being self-righteous adds about a billion and one.

    Love the look of speed skater glutes. If I still lived in a country where speed skating was a viable sporting option, I probably wouldn't bother with the machine.

    Yeah...I can imagine...I hear roids and abduction machines have that effect.

    No shame in using those machines I have my degree in exercise science and getting certified as a ACSM personal trainer. You need to strength train those muscles they are stabilizers and are important to work and many men often neglect those muscles because they don't want to use those machines so kudos to those who are real men and incorporate a well rounded workout.
